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.

It's not just his talent with super fun and surprising balloon characters but his adaptive nature and outstanding personality, engaging everyone at the parties/events. I would absolutely recommend him for all types of occasions : private or big birthday parties, festivals, block parties, - anywhere there will be children!! He is one less thing at your party you need to worry about because he is a sure thing! Truly, he is a whole family favorite!!

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!

He arrived on time and ,even though he was greeted by 12 super excited (and slightly impatient) little girls, he quickly engaged the crowd, and had both children and adults oohing and aahing and giggling in no time.

So, mission accomplished, and 5 stars from us. Thanks, Scott!

To children ages: birth to twelve years old. Part of our childcare we like to offer is field trips in the daycare and outside the daycare. It was a storming Saturday . Roads were shut down.

He had ever right to cancel , but he didn't. He was even 30 minutes early! That day children shared smiles, laughter and memories. Mark Presley played a role in providing an environment where exactly that happened! I can't thank Mark Presley enough for putting on a show doing magic trick that told a story from the beginning to the end.
