Bill Packard the Balloon Man...
... was the near-exclusive balloon twister at Underground Atlanta for ten years. With the high visibility and long lines of children and adults waiting their turn, Bill developed balloon-twisting techniques that are fast, efficient, and entertaining. "Clown" dogs and swords are fine, but Bill adds leashes, hats, hearts, flowers (and comedy and magic) to his sculptures, so that everyone gets something special and has a great time while they're waiting.
"Miss Tammy" Packard...
Tammy captivates the attention of children (and adults) with her balloon-twisting skills. Animal shapes, funny hats, lovely hearts and other surprises are a delight to play with, observe, and share. For ten years, Tammy and her husband Bill filled the exclusive "balloon spot" at Underground Atlanta.
Nicki Packard...
...having grown up in our family of entertainers, has picked up on the best and run with it! Her energetic smile, pleasant personality and creativity have made her a favorite at Dave & Buster's restaurants and private parties. Her balloon twisting and face painting skills are equaled only by her mother Tammy.
Tommy Johns...
...is an expert twister who knows how to entertain with balloons. Tommy is also one of the most popular magicians in the Atlanta area, so he is a great choice for events where both balloons and magic are desired.
"Aunt Kathy" Hoffman-Fain...
as a lady entertainer, is respected like a teacher and loved like a mother. A versatile entertainer, she not only makes impressive balloon sculptures, such as flower bouquets, but performs organized magic shows.
"Mr. Greggy" McMahan...
Greg is probably the funniest children's entertainer you'll ever see. His balloon sculptures are quick, meant to be played with, and watching him make them is a hilarious experience. Greg is one of our favorite entertainers for young children, whether he's twisting balloons, performing magic, or just being silly.
"Abbie Cadabra" McMahan...
is Mr. Greggy's "other half." When she makes balloons, nobody has to wait -- she keeps a dozen or more going at the same time for a non-stop colorful extravaganza! Her face painting ranges from simple clown noses to elaborate creations. And with her characters, Abbie knows just the right bit of silliness!
Adam Komesar's The Inflatable Zoo...
is all about animals, animals and animals! Dressed in safari outfit, Adam twists balloons into animals. He also offers a comedy magic show with a jungle theme, aimed at 4- to 7-year-olds. With animal puppets, animals songs (live guitar accompaniment), and animal games, they'll have a roaring good time!
"Ruby the Clown" Haller...
For folks who insist on a balloon twister in clown make-up and attire, Ruby is our number one choice! He has a comedic, high-energy style, performs stage and close-up magic, and customizes his presentations for family, adult, and corporate affairs. We rarely recommend clowns, as sometimes children are frightened by them, but Ruby is gentle, approachable, fun-loving, and likeable!
Janis "Happy Face" Hastings...
...is the most talented and versatile balloon twister AND face painter around! She taught us all we know. In addition, she and her associates provide magic, music, theme parties, arts and crafts, games, tea parties, treasure hunts, dance, dress up, stories, and characters including clowns, princesses, dolls, superheroes, and animals. Her balloons are impressive and somewhat complex, so they are most suitable for small groups and decorations.
Annamime...
(Anne Rohr) combines juggling, pantomime, magic, stilts, and clowning to create her unique characters, entertaining everyone without saying a word! She's the creator of "living statues" and "live marionettes." Shows involve technical theatrics, including unicycling and physical comedy -- whatever it takes to make your event memorable!
