Andrew held the group of 3-6 year olds in the palm of his hand from the moment he arrived. He got…read morethem laughing and then got the adults laughing. He had complete control of the room - not an easy task with so many little humans! A week later, my son is still talking about the trick Andrew helped him perform. And the parents of other kids have reached out to know who this "amazing magical man" was. If you're thinking about booking Andrew, do it!

I needed to find a last minute face painter for my daughters' LAST MINUTE birthday party on 6/10…read more Called just about everyone Google suggested, with no luck Fortunately, Beth called me & says that she is available. I swear this must have been fate or just pure luck, but she was absolutely amazing! Het artistic skills went way beyond my expectations. I have hired face painter/balloon twisters in the past, but none have come close to the work Beth did for my party. All of my guests were so pleased with the designs they chose, not only the kiddies, but even the adults wanted their faces painted! Some have also inquired about how/where I found Beth, so that they can book her for future events. My girls & I are 1000% satisfied, and would totally recommend Beth to anyone looking to hire an awesome talented face painter. Book her for your next event, you will not be disappointed

We hired Beth to do face painting at our twins birthday party yesterday. She was fabulous!…read moreIncredibly professional and poised, cool under pressure and every child was painted quickly and beautifully. The party was originally supposed to be outdoors but due to weather we moved it inside at the last minute. Picture 45 seven year olds running around, screaming and dancing for two hours, these were the conditions under which Beth had to work. She handled it perfectly, organized the kids so there was no line jumping or fighting and was totally under control under fairly wild circumstances. She had a variety of designs to chose from and every child was ecstatic with their face painting. I would highly recommend her for your next event!

What a fun performer. I came across him at the Park Ridge Kiwanis annual pancake breakfast, where…read morehe was doing some entertaining mostly for the kids but definitely for the adults as well. It's through him that I heard of the Central Street Busker Festival that took place the next day and his line was loooong! Most recently, we went to his show last week that the Mt. Prospect Public Library held for spring break. That was very very well attended, with a long line of folks waiting to get in (and that's with all of us registered to attend!), but the show was a lot of fun. He did a little magic, a little comedy, and some fun balloon tricks. This guy has been doing this all his adult life--unless that's also a joke and part of his act--but regardless, he's great at his job. I'm looking forward to seeing him again and my little one having the chance to pick her balloon creation on her own.
