Services

Balloonatic Bruce provides professional entertainment services to all events where there are family groups. This entertainment can include, but is not restricted to:

• Balloon modeling
• Magic acts
• Face painting
• Stilt walkers
• Puppeteers
• etc

A professional performance and attitude is guaranteed at all times.

Balloonatic Bruce's balloons are really special. He doesn't just do simple things like swords and dogs, he can make; dinosaurs, teddy bears, princesses, unicorns, super heroes... The children get really excited about them and treasure them greatly. There are also are highly interactive magic routines, with which the children have a lot of fun.

Balloonatic Bruce's magic is a lot of fun, it's both fun and funny. All of the magic is wrapped up into a game of some kind. This, I believe, makes the routines a lot more entertaining because the children are much more involved. One of these stars Ally Kazam, the famous, real, live, magic bunny, that the children can all pat and cuddle afterwards. What she does is amazing!

Balloonatic Antics was fantastic at my son’s birthday party! He kept all the kids entertained with fun magic tricks, balloons, and lots of laughs. The show was engaging, well-paced, and even the adults enjoyed it. Dennis was professional, friendly, and made the day feel really special. Highly recommend him for any kids’ party! More...

Bruce Balloonatic came to my son's 5th birthday as we wanted a magician to come and entertain the kids. Well, he went above and beyond our expectations, bringing his fun character, balloon creations and engaging magic acts that including my son and friends. Everyone loved the show and the balloons and the bunny patting at the end was a great surprise even to my 1.5 year old daughter and little toddlers that also came to the party. We soon realised that we where right when we chose him to be the Magician for our family event. More...

Bruce did a fantastic job for my sons 6th birthday. He was able to keep an entire class of 25 prep children engaged and excited with his magic show. Parents were able to relax while he easily managed to keep everyone entertained and children in awe. He had a professional manner and was courteous and inclusive.

Bruce was a wonderful magician and kind spirited person. He was thoughtful and inclusive and even spent some extra time making a balloon for a sibling when mum came to pick up her child.

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.

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.

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...
