Services

So many ways to have fun...with an Edmonton balloon artist!

Professionally tailored

I can twist whatever a child requests while having fun with them and keeping them entertained as my magic balloon-twisting fingers move at lightening speed. Most of these creations are in the 3 to 8 balloon range, which makes it great entertainment for small and large numbered events. I also incorporate flashing LED LIGHTS into the creations as well (please mention at the time of booking). This service works well at events that have a line-up already, keeping your customers entertained as they wait. Ask me about customizing my services for your event. Edmonton balloon artist.

Please contact Russ for more information.

You can choose any of the animal creations that I make and have them delivered or picked up at your convenience. This service is great for time-restricted events, birthday party loot bags, short notice events, and children’s carnivals. This is also a great add-on to any other of my services that I offer. Especially those parties you don’t want late arrivals to miss out on. It’s great to have some pre-mades on hand in case of any breakage. You will be able to wipe those tears away and bring those big smiles back. Some restrictions do apply. Edmonton balloon artist

I can stroll through your event, entertaining and impressing your guests with out-of-this-world balloon sculptures. I will pick areas of your event with families or pockets of people gathering and will perform my balloon magic skills for them, leaving them with a cartoon character or that special-requested creation made for them right before their eyes. I take a bow and continue moving into the crowd to another area of your event to entertain. I am skilled differently than the normal balloon twister and my creations show it in all my work. Customize your event with a special sculpture your guests can take home and always remember. Edmonton balloon artist.

Please contact Russ for more information.

Professionally tailored

I will come to your house or location of the party and create balloon animals, cartoon characters, hats, for all of you and your guests. Birthday Fun Package 1 is for up to 12 children and is 1 hour long. This gives all the children a balloon creation (made with multiple balloons) they can take home with them as a memento of your child’s special day. The birthday person receives a special one-of-a-kind creation made right in front of all your guests’ eyes. 

Birthday Fun Package 2 is the same as number one but I will use LED LIGHTS in all my balloon creations. This brings a new element of fun to the balloons. This package is good with older children. For more children than 12 with any of the birthday fun packages there will be an additional charge applied. Edmonton balloon artist.

Please contact Russ for more information.

You can purchase as many hours of fun balloon twisting entertainment as you wish. This makes a great gift for birthday parties, surprise events, special occasions, employee awards, prize give aways, and low income families.

Russ was amazing! It didn’t seem there was anything he couldn’t do. We had a lot of compliments on his skill and imagination, I don’t know who was more impressed with his creations -the parents or the children. One little girl asked for a mouse and he made her a Tigger with a mouse in his mouth! Wow! He was punctual and pleasant and didn’t waste time creating once he got there--he started blowing, twisting, and shaping and soon had a line-up at his table.

It is with immense pleasure I write this letter to you. Thank you for attending our kids Christmas party, the kids were drawn to you immediately with your amazing work. Never in all the years I had been hosting parties, have I ever seen the kind of balloon artistry you are capable of. The kids had aliens, mermaids, flowers, turtles, that spider guy – you pretty much name it and they got it. Not one kid went home without a huge smile and look of amazement on their face. Without question we will continue to include you as part of our Kids Party Entertainment Team and will not hesitate to ever refer you to anyone looking to treat their kids to an amazing balloon entertainer. Thank you for squeezing us in this year – I look forward in working with you for many years to come.

Russ Neibel attended our event The Rodeo of "Smiles". This event is in conjunction with the Leduc Black Gold Rodeo. Our event is a rodeo themed day dedicated to all the special needs children in the Black Gold School district. We have in attendance approximately200 participants every year. Russ fulfilled our expectations and much more. I had witnessed Russ entertaining during another event and I had decided to grab one of his business cards and I am very glad that I did. We absolutely plan on having Russ back again next year and I would recommend him for any event involving special needs children or any event large or small involving children. Russ was FANTASTIC!

In the past two years Russ has attended our Mother's Day Brunch functions with over 400 people in attendance each year and entertained the children with his "balloon magic" – it truly is amazingto see the plethora of creations he is able to create out of plastic and air. Watching the children'seyes light-up as Russ performs his balloon talent is so heart-warming to see. The array of ballooncolors displayed is a carnival in itself! Just last week as I was taking reservations for this year's event, I had mothers calling me to inquire if "The Balloon Guy" was going to be in attendance again. It was so nice to hear how many children's hearts he made smile the previous year. Russ, thanks again for making this year's Mothers Day 2009 at the Westin Edmonton a special one!

Balloon Artist Russ has been out to special events at our Resort and every time has been the hitof the event. The balloon characters he creates are the most outstanding I’ve ever seen and they amaze not only the children but the adults as well. The line up of kids wanting something made by Russ never ends and after four hours of tying cartoon characters he is enthusiastic and cheerful with everyone. I would highly recommend him for events of any kind!

Balloon Safety

Having fun while practicing balloon safety

Latex balloons are an inexpensive way to decorate and to celebrate any festive occasion. With all the colours that latex balloons come in, children are now drawn to them like magnets. As many of you parents already know balloons are a large part of children’s celebrations, especially birthday parties. When receiving a twisted balloon sculpture it can be a fun and unforgettable occasion, however, they can also be a choking hazard for children under 3 years of age.

Balloons are made like candles. A piece of stainless steel is shaped into a long pencil like rod, which is called a form. The form is dipped into liquid latex and pulled back up and set to dry. This procedure is done 7 times to create the thickness of the balloon that can be twisted into all kinds of different sculptures. Most of the balloons you can get from the regular dollar store or department store are only dipped in liquid latex 3 times. This makes them a lot thinner.

The balloons used for sculpturing are dipped in liquid latex 7 times and are the most dangerous of the varied types of balloons because of their thickness. Due to the thickness of this type of balloon, it has one of the biggest choking hazards to all little children under 3 years of age. Sculpturing balloons are so thick that if an animal or a young child gets a piece of the balloon stuck in there throat it may not come out. Even with someone helping them to try to get it out they may require an emergency medical procedure to get the balloon and/or particle out of there throat.

One of our biggest suggestions, in this area involving balloon safety, is common sense. However, common sense doesn’t always come naturally to children and the majority of balloon safety information is given with children in mind. In any case, it is sensible to heed this advice regardless of age.

Brightly coloured latex balloons attract the attention of a curious child. Young children may suck or bite into a balloon, and fragments of a popped balloon may end up in a child’s mouth and be inhaled or swallowed. A balloon fragment could adhere to and/or cover the child’s airway, blocking the breathing passage and causing suffocation. Because latex balloon fragments are sticky, they are often difficult to dislodge, even using the Heimlich maneuver will not be of any help.

Thank you for taking the time to inform your self and protecting your family.
