Amazing service.

Tried to hire someone fairly last minute for my sons birthday. Bruce was unfortunately already booked for the day, but he was the only one to offer to help us find someone. And he did and they wrrr amazing. Going above and beyond, can’t say thank you enough. More...

Bruce was not available on our day and he recommended Dennis as our magician. Bruce was very approachable and alway replied messages ontime to make sure our party organised. And Dennis was very professional on his performance. Our guests are 4 year olds and Dennis knows how to get along with them/ make them laugh/ deal with my shy girl. Both kids and adults enjoyed his show. I'm also impressed by Dennis's balloons. They were like more advanced than any ones I have seen before. Thank you Dennis for your amazing show and balloons, you have helped us to have an amazing birthday party for my girl. More...

Unfortunately Bruce couldn’t attend my child’s party. But Bruce organised for Stumbles (Denis) to be our party entertainer.
Stumbles had every single child mesmerised with his magic tricks and funny antics. He then made every child the most amazing ballon creation of their choice.
It made a stress free party for my self as the kids were completely entertained the whole 2 hours.
Couldn’t have been better.
Thanks Stumbles

I came to know Bruce through Google! He was charming and so very courteous. I decided to hire his services to perform at my granddaughters first birthday. He turned up on time and got into it right away. He easily mesmerised the kids at the party and even the adults were gobsmacked with his rabbit trick. I am so happy I invited Bruce from Balloon antics. He was worth every cent and more. More...

I engaged Bruce for my daughter's 3 year old party: there were children in age from 2-11; and lots of adults. Bruce did an utterly magnificent job-he was able to engage with all the children and "ran the show" so to speak. Being a performer of many years, he is also extremely experienced in handling children and "crowd control"-which in my limited experience-is vitally underrated skill. I would recommend Bruce to everyone: he entertained all the children (& adults) and enabled me to concentrate on running the party. One of the best decisions I made. Thank you again, Bruce! More...

Bruce went out of his way to help with a late entertainment request for my 5 year old's birthday party. He was not available himself but lined up another balloon artist / magician named Dennis. Dennis was top tier entertainment and a really lovely guy. His magic show had the kids enthralled and his balloon making skills were the best I've ever seen. Lovely guy too. Would highly recommend Bruce / Dennis to anyone looking for kids entertainment. More...

Just wanted to say that Dennis from Balloon antics was fantastic and engaging with the children at my sons 1st birthday… I was very impressed how he was able to capture and include all the children’s attention whom were of different ages during his performance.

With a ridiculously hot day scheduled I was on the search for someone who could entertain about 25 kids @ my daughters 1st birthday party! Bruce sure did that with his balloon antics, magic tricks & rabbit.. For parents @ the party it meant that they could relax while their kids were being safety & happily entertained. The kids loved getting a balloon made especially for them & a pat of the rabbit! Thanks again Bruce. Highly recommend. More...

He definitely left a lasting impression to them that he was all they talked about after leaving the party.

Bruce was extremely responsive to calls, emails and messages, which is very hard to come by nowadays. I am forever grateful to have him on my party. Being heavily pregnant and always on edge not knowing how many kids going to turn out and the difference in age gap. He is always very positive and making sure that everything will be alright. Which turns out super successful. Kids and adults were so entertained! We had almost 30 kids and the feedback from the parents were so positive! Thank you so much Bruce for making it easy for me and a great party. Highly recommend and we will definitely have you for more parties to come.
