Thank you Shaun. I had a great time and would definitely do your event again too.
Despite low number of children, Mr. Steve was very creative and the kids enjoyed the balloons. The sword was a big hit with the boys!

Thank you for the review. I enjoyed your event and was well recieved by your customers and guests. Thank you for hiring me.
Mr. Stephen Phelps showed up ready! He pulled right in front, unloaded, got right to business. He is very unassuming but once he gets started you can tell he is a pro!! We loved having him there and the kids and adults loved having the hats and all the things he made. He is professional and we will surely use him again!!

Thank you Hailie. I thouroughly enjoyed myself at your festival. Although I like working and scheduling events back to back when I am busy. I also enjoy not having to go anywhere afterwards and spend an extra 10-30 minutes for free. Thats exactly what I did Saturday. I love working!
I was recieved well by EVERYBODY at your festival. I look forward to working with you again next year.
Wonderful job! We had an event with probably around 150 children and he was able to do exactly what we needed him to do! Additionally, he was on time and very professional. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you Heather for the review. I thouroughly enjoyed working with you and your event. You put on an excellent event.
We chose Steven because of his high energy and his obvious passion for working with kids. Steven was very professional and willing to accommodate our needs. I love how he emphasized and followed safety protocols. We will be gladly booking Steven again for our next event in April. You won’t be disappointed.

Had him over for a 9 year kid’s birthday party and he was just wonderful. Kids loved the balloons and there wasn’t an issue with time either. Class act!

Thank you Keela. I had a great time and was treated well. You guys rock there in Heath!
The artist was punctual and friendly, but limited in balloon options. Some of the stories shared were not rated for children.

I had a great time and appreciated the generous tip. Im sorry you had a bad experience. I try my best to be pleasing. But I am not sure what stories you are talkng about as I am a very clean family entertainment.
Polite. Professional. And entertaining. My daughter and all the kids were in heaven with all the balloon animals.

Steven provided funtastic entertainment for the kiddos at our Summer Feeding Kick-Off! He came early, stayed late, interacted with the kids and adults and provided incredible balloon art. We will certainly look to use him again!

About
Buckeye 911 is a clean and interactive entertainer available for corporate events and private entertainment in Ohio. Primarily Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati. He is the Ohio Balloon Twister but does travel to other states and surrounding Ohio as well. Louisville, Lexington, Indianapolis, Detroit & Ann Arbor, Erie, Pittsburgh, Wheeling and more require a minimum three to four hours event to book him. He is different than most entertainers and does not charge travel fees. It is more clearcut to say three or four hours. I love road tripping and my mileage is my biggest tax break of the year.
I provide entertainment for a wide variety of events including churches, schools, daycares and non profit events.
Additional Booking Notes
Nothing technical. Just pure fun.

Influences & Inspiration
I started with balloons at Disneyland watching Wally Boag in the Golden Horseshoe Review make balloons. He was the one who taught Steve Martin to make balloons. Then I actually learned from a friend who taught me for teaching him to juggle. We did clowning together at car dealerships all over Orange County and Los Angeles together.

No equipment is required by you.
A 5x5 minimum space is needed. Preferably larger.
I bring my own chair and table. No electric is needed.
Shade or cover is requested if outdoors.
