Balloon Hysteria NYC | Birthday Max

We enjoyed to have him for our sons 3rd birthday. All the kids loved him and he made such top notch balloons! Highly recommend!

We had a outdoor community event and Balloon Hysteria was a great addition! Children and Families were thrilled with the balloon art and the event size was handled masterfully.

David was the highlight of our son's 3 year birthday party. He is great managing overeager toddlers and keeping them entertained. He also did a wonderful job making our son feel special. He learned how to make a custom fire truck balloon in advance and my son was beyond thrilled. He also made some really fun balloons for the adults! On the logistics front, David was super easy to work with -- responsive, accommodating and lots of positivity about the entire event.

Next time I will likely hire David for longer as everyone had a blast. Highly recommend.

David was fantastic. The kids and adults loved him! He was wonderful throughout the entire party. I would recommend hiring him anytime!

We hosted a family birthday party for our four year old daughter, with 25 adults and only four children. David thoughtfully organized a call with us prior to the event to make sure he understood the dynamics of the day and what kind of balloon designs each child might enjoy, so that once he arrived he could hit the ground running. He also suggested that he could twist balloons for adults, which I naively assumed wouldn’t go over well. By the end of the party most adults had asked for a balloon and the kids had a bunch of elaborate twisted balloons that they were absolutely enamored with. Couldn’t recommend David highly enough!

R David was a great hit in our event with family and friends. He was a true professional as a balloon twister and when interacting with our young guests. I highly recommend him!

R David stole the show at our 3 yr olds birthday party. He entertained the kids while he made amazing balloon creations. I can’t possibly say enough good things about him.

The Balloon Menu is not to be missed. Big hit!

David was super responsive and very accommodating and kept a bunch of young kids entertained and laughing for the whole hour.

Did a great job managing time, fielded unique and creative balloon design requests, and brought a positive energy throughout!

Working with R David was great from beginning to end. He was very responsive in our emails and very thorough in our phone call on what to expect on the day of.

His balloon twisting is amazing! It was what convinced me to have him for my daughter's 1st birthday. He does these cute balloon bracelets that's very cute and practical. Especially for young kids! He made sure every child had a balloon and they all loved it. He kept the young children very entertained and even included the parents which was a nice touch. Highly recommended!

Birthday Max was a big hit at my daughter's 5th birthday party. He kept the attention of a big group of 4-5 year olds at a playground for much longer than I thought was possible! It was also a very windy day and he did a great job keeping the kids entertained and he made sure that every child that wanted a balloon had one. We were booking with late notice as we tried to manage winter outdoor weather and communication was great.

I hired R David to make balloon animals for my 30th birthday party and he was great! He is an absolute party expert who knows where to set up and exactly what to do to maximize his presence at your party. He called me in advance to discuss what I wanted for the party. We ended up choosing balloon animals and colors to match my color scheme (including really cool metallic sculpture-like animals) and he made an enormous green dinosaur to go with a dinosaur themed room we were doing. He makes balloon animals that can be worn on your wrist or in your hair which is really fun for adults who might not want to carry a balloon around like a teddy bear. My friends also loved chatting with him while he was making balloons and thought it was a fun way to meet different people at the party while sitting with him. I highly recommend R David if you've ever considered having a balloon twister at an adult party!

He brought lots of laughter and amazement to our sons 3rd birthday, he was terrific!!

We had a great time!

We had such a wonderful party and everyone was thrilled with David! Your masterful skills are amazing and everyone is still talking about how much they loved our party! Thank you so much!

All the kids loved him and he kept them laughing a lot. Some of the younger kids didn’t get the jokes right away but once they do they loved it and constant laughter. The balloons are also a nice touch at the end. Birthday Max is a great magician and balloon artist!

R David (aka Balloon Hysteria NYC) is the absolute best. From the first emails through GigSalad, he was responsive and provided all of the information we needed. We were planning our 5 year old's outdoor birthday party still with the health concerns of a global pandemic in May 2021, and I really wanted to find something/someone who would keep these kids entertained in a safe fashion. He was FANTASTIC. All of the kids loved watching him (we could barely get them to come eat the pizza) and he seemed to entertain a gaggle of them for about two hours straight. Also the balloons he made were awesome. We could not have asked for anything more. Also, when our original date looked to be a total wash out, he was so responsive and accomodating in agreeing to do it on a rescheduled date. Truly, can't say enough good things.

We were so thankful to find R David to add some magic and joy to our daughter’s 5th birthday party! His balloon twisting talents and charisma were above and beyond! He fit right in with our Mary Poppins theme and was very pleasant to work with and communicate with. All our guests - children and adults- were enthralled with his talents. We had an amazing party, many thanks to R David!

Fabulous entertainment!. We had a birthday party at a private club, with mostly adults. He kept both the children and the adults entertained with fabulous balloons and simply a lot of fun.

Max was excellent with our family and friends. He created a beautiful Rapunzel balloon complete with long braided hair, an intricate Spider-Man, butterfly and angels wings that the girls could wear (with head bands and antennas too!), robots, and so much more. We kept him for an extra hour since the kids were so intrigued just watching him create the balloons. Even the big kids had a blast. We would definitely recommend Max for any party.

David was able to create anything the kids threw at him, including Black Panther, two Art Deco Cats, and this amazing one with two riders on a bicycle. He was also very funny, and charmed all of us- kids and adults. There was an ease he had with folks, and it made the balloon process entertaining. Highly recommended. I bet he's an all around performer, too...theater, definitely.

A wonderfully charming local Inwood character, Balloon Hysteria is a very skilled and imaginative balloon sculptor (I think that’s the term he prefers). Whether your tastes run to the industry standard of poodles and dachshunds, or you’re more into elaborate Disney characters, BH is your man! He even turned my daughter into a butterfly once! Just be patient when requesting more involved creations. Patience is a virtue and the wait is most definitely worth it!
