Response from JZK Family Shows:
some party's are more memorable than others and this one goes down on the memorable side for sure! Loved the laughter of the crowd (including adults) and the adults seemed to really enjoy it.....
I saw all the adults either laughing or smiling or both! Thanks so much Cindy and family. ..... it was a blast!
We enjoyed having Jim at our event during our church's community Fun Day. We hired Jim as a balloon twister. He was very entertaining and created some great designs for our children (and adults)! He performed for us for two hours and he didn't stop once! He stayed busy the entire time. Everyone had a good time! If you want someone who is professional and talented, you should hire Jim for your next event!

It was an honor being of service to your church in SC! I have entertained for Congregationalists, Unity, Universalist, UCC, Presbyterians, Christian Union, Lutherans, Catholics and I believe you are my 2nd Methodist Church! Thank You so much Donna Van Vleet!
The Children had a great time , lots of smiles from the adults, nice to have a clean fun show without worrying about the content. P.S. THANKS JIM FOR THE EFFORT YOU PUT INTO CREATING A WHOLESOME SHOW FOR THE CHILDREN. WE RECOMMEND JIM FOR YOUR CHILDS SHOW.
Response from JZK Family Shows:
TY so much Andy and Debbie Rigdon. I enjoyed the fun I had with your grandson Anthony and the other kids at the party in Brevard, NC. Thanks for your compliments / kind words.
Our neighborhood has 430 homes and is quite active throughout the year with activities. I am head of the Social Committee and take the role seriously and look for only the best for our events. I am pleased so say, I have found the best in Jim! He entertained children and adults alike for 2 hours, twisting non-stop, telling stories, singing songs for a giggle, making everyone laugh then running back in line for more! We had children BEGGING me to bring him back. And I will! Jim was accommodating, generous and the absolute professional! Look no more! He will make your special occasion a memory for a lifetime!
Response from JZK Family Shows:
wow! thanks so much Theresa Johnson for this wonderful review. It was a true pleasure to have been of service to your event in SC. Jim
FYI: If needed I have phone numbers for many
of my clients if you wish to speak with them directly.
I wanted a balloon artist for my daughters birthday. I hired Jim the balloon guy.
He has more great reviews than any one else within 50 miles of Greenville.
I had a bunch of people here including 20 kids. Everyone enjoyed Jim and his balloons. He did a great job! Several moms want to hire him for their kids birthdays. My other children want him to come and do their birthdays too! I will be calling him again this year. Thank You so much Jim!! :)
Response from JZK Family Shows:
TY Mrs. Baker! .... About a month after doing the above birthday I got another call from this client asking me to come and entertain at one of her children's birthdays. We booked another date in JULY and I had a great time again and I have been told they want me for her next childs birthday in October ... LOL Thanks again Mrs. Baker!
Wanted to make my daughters 20th b-day dinner a bit more special with her friends while she's away at school in SC and I was back here in NY. Wish I was there to see her face but got some pretty good pics and a short video text! Jim you are amazing!!!! My daughter and her friends love you!!! Could not stop talking about how sweet you were and how great the singing telegram and the balloon making of hats and flowers you made for the girls!!! I think everyone at the restaurant enjoyed the surprise. You really made her b-day so much more special and this is one b-day she will not forget! You made me the super cool mom and all the girls were saying how they wish their moms would send them singing b-day telegrams:) lol I can't thank you enough for making Nicole's b-day so special and memorable!!! The girls may want to adopt you as their sorority mascot! LOL Again all my thanks and will keep you in mind for all future events!!! JIM, THANK YOU:)
Response from JZK Family Shows:
Enjoyed Nicoles Birthday. These ladies laugh/giggle like kids!
Its people like you/girls that make what I do so enjoyable. Great to have been of service in Clemson, SC. TY Mrs. Bittan!
Jim entertained everyone with magic tricks, jokes and balloons! Everyone loved his show and we had a great time. He was on time and did so much. More than we expected!! A special thank you for giving our daughter so much extra attention and for making an extra balloon for a child when his broke. You made our party so much fun and we truly appreciate it. Best of luck in South Carolina!!!!
Response from JZK Family Shows:
Appreciation is one of the best things in life. Loved your party. Thank you Carol Sasser!
We hired Jim to come to do both magic and balloon twisting for my son's 7th birthday after seeing him at a local event. I am known for always throwing theme parties for my two boys and I usually go beyond the normal birthday party. This year was by far the most enjoyable for the kids thanks to Jim's performance. He had them laughing the entire time, even the adults were joining in! I highly recommend him, my boys are still talking about how funny he was and their favorite tricks that he did. I heard from many of the guests about how much they enjoyed it too. He was very professional, on time, and hilarious!
Response from JZK Family Shows:
Wow!! nice review. Thanks Katie Thibeault. I'm glad you caught my entertainment at that NH public event and hired me for your childs birthday!
Thanks to Jim for coming down to Stratham NH this weekend. It was a combined birthday party for my six year old girl and four year old boy and they'd asked for a circus theme this year. In spite of having to move everything indoors due to the rain, Jim showed up early and stayed late. We had 25-30 kids for his show and he performed with aplomb. The kids laughed and shouted during his magic act and everyone got a balloon animal, especially the two birthday tykes who got huge balloon crowns first and in front of all the other kids. They loved it.
Response from JZK Family Shows:
Thanks Mark Phelps! Had to look up aplomb which means poise,assurance,composure. thanks LOL
I loved the time with your two kids & friends. The children were so excited I got wrapped up in it
as usual.
Went to a birthday party where Jim the Balloon Guy showed off his brand of magic, balloons and humor. The kids loved it (and, quite frankly, the adults did, too!). He was engaging, witty and funny and held the kids' attention during the whole show. Definitely one of the highlights of the party! I am an entertainer myself (in a band) and it was a pleasure to see a fellow entertainer in action.
Response from JZK Family Shows:
Jim Gordon So glad you, the kids / the adults enjoyed this.
Had a great time at this NH birthday for Matthew and Claire!! :)
Jim The Balloon Guy brought his balloon act to the reunion and the comments were remarkable.Everyone liked his balloon creations. Jim is a balloon artist as well as an excellent entertainer. He made people laugh and enjoy themselves.The various balloon creations he came up with were awesome. Everyone raved about all the various shapes and sizes and variations of balloon creations he came up with. It was very remarkable to see such talent and artistry in front of your eyes.Everyone of any age young or old will enjoy his entertainment and artistry.
Response from JZK Family Shows:
Thanks Shari Norton. Wonderful review. It was a pleasure
to have been of service to this all adults event at NHS Class of 1979 Reunion in Rochester, NH !
Jim provided great balloon twisting entertainment for our grand opening event. Kids loved their creations & even some adults took part in the fun. Very timely & efficient.
Response from JZK Family Shows:
TY! Your NH general store grand opening event was a fun time, I put pics on my website!
JZK did an outstanding job entertaining the little ones by making balloon animals and other things. he was very friendly and approachable. When need kids entertainment I will be sure to give him a call.
Response from JZK Family Shows:
Thanks Tom Colantoni for the nice review. Jim The balloon Guy entertained for Orange Leaf Yogurt in Derry, NH. Great time. Appreciate the laughs I shared that day!
Jim.

Good show for a fun night. Crowd any where from 4 to 95 years old. Everyone had a good time.

Thanks Fran Medeiros, I had a great time at this fun event held in Hampstead, NH. I enjoyed this party!
Jim, the Magic Guy, presented our Summer Camp with a very entertaining magic show today, July 17, 2013. We thoroughly enjoyed his upbeat attitude and quick moving tricks. He kept our kids (aged 4-10) engaged and wanting more! Jim the Magic Guy's pricing for a 45 minute show was the best in the area and I would definitely hire him again! Thank you, Jim! :)
Response from JZK Family Shows:
Great time @ this NH event!! The kids/adults were so happy & helpful.
Thank You Michelle Doucette and staff! :)
I recently received the following: Id love to have you come back and bring the balloon
twisting show to our camp. (in 2014)
Michelle Ducette
Sounds like I may be seeing them again in 2014! So cool!
We hired Jim the Balloon Guy to come twist balloons for the Neighborhood Block Party at our church last Saturday. He was a great entertainer and brought many smiles and giggles as he told little stories and jokes to the kids while he made balloon animals. The children (and adults) really responded to him and he drew a crowd throughout the day! He was more reasonably priced than anyone else I contacted. I would definitely recommend him to others!

Response from JZK Family Shows:
Thanks Sharlene! Really like client, the people were warm & friendly.
I was hired back in 2014 and already did event. What a great time! Thanks for nice comments and invite for a 3rd time in 2015. I really enjoyed myself again!
JZK Family Shows helped make our event special! The kids all loved all the different balloon twists, and even the adults too. Jim was just what we needed to make the day a hit!
Response from JZK Family Shows:
TY Briana Duga! Loved this fun Customer Appreciation event for Chiropractor in Maine.
We want to thank you for entertaining us at our annual Blue and Gold banquet. Everyone had a wonderful time and laughed until they couldnt laugh any more. Even the adults and older children were impressed with your show. I personally was amazed at how enthralled the kids were during the show.The most skeptical little girl couldn't get all the answers or figure out all your tricks.
We are currently planning next years events and want you for our entertainment. Jim, you have a wonderful raport with the kids and you should do well in your business.We will be in touch!

Thanks. Your event in Lawrence, MA was a blast.

Thanks again for your service.

Response from JZK Family Shows:
Rosa Rivas as you know I had a great time with many seniors as well as some grandkids at your MA event!
we hired this guy for my kids 4th bday and this jim guy was awful. gave my wife crap when arrived, very short attitude with the kids. when parents at the party get insulted by the attitude then thats pretty bad. almost told him to leave. will not recommend the guy at all
Response from JZK Family Shows:
I'm shocked by this review. At no time did anyone say anything mentioned above to me. This was supposed to be a child's birthday but appeared more of an adult drinking party. You could smell and see most of the adults drinking alcohol. I was at this party in MA and the above is extremely inaccurate in my opinion. I direct those looking for fun family services to my many other reviews and testimonials from happy/delighted clients over a number of years.
Jim the magic guy was very funny! The whole family enjoyed him from the children to the adults. He was great entertainment. We'll be calling Jim again in the future!! Thanks Jim!!
Response from JZK Family Shows:
TY Marissa Scantialago , what a great time at your Boston, MA event!
The children were very excited and Jim was able to keep them all intrigued.
All of the kids were happy with their balloons. I definately recommend
Jim The Balloon Guy! Thank You Jim!

Response from JZK Family Shows:
TY I really enjoyed your fun NH birthday party!
We had Jim come out to help us with our Grand Opening this past weekend in Portsmouth, and we had a lot of fun! He made fantastic balloons, and was good with the kids and the adults. Would be great for birthday parties or kids nights! Wish we had seen some of his other talents!
Response from JZK Family Shows:
Colby Baker is manager at Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt in beautiful Portsmouth, NH.
The staff were so happy and patrons were great!
We hired Jim for the first year birthday party of my daughter. He did really nice magic show and kept all the kids involved equally.
The kids went crazy went the ballon art. It was a great experience to work with Jim.
Response from JZK Family Shows:
Event was actually held in an Indian restaurant in Kittery,Maine. A pleasure to have been of service. I'm glad they enjoyed it. Thank you Alli Jaorawala!
We could not be happier with the event. Jim put on a terrific show for 30 plus kids of mixed ages at our three year old daughters Princess Party. From start to finish he was great. He captured the undivided attention of the kids (as well as a good number of the adults) with his humor and showmanship. Jim was funny and engaging throughout the act and beyond. He continued with his jokes an bag of tricks with the kids as he was cleaning up. We look forward to having him return for our 5 year olds birthday this winter ( as she has already made the request). We highly recommend Jim for his creative and engaging act and his professionalism from the very first phone call.
Response from JZK Family Shows:
These people from NH were awesome and WOW did they show it! In Feb 2013 I was hired again & had a 2nd wonderful time! The kids were excited, I got hugs and I love yous from some of them. The hosts treat you like family and were extremely happy/complimentative having obtained my services again. Wonderful folks....The Dales!
Thank you very much Jim.We greatly appreciate your coming to our event.
The children really enjoyed your magic show.

Response from JZK Family Shows:
TY Dave! Had a great time at your annual blue and gold banquet in Farmington, NH.
Jim was wonderful, the children were laughing, giggling, and jumping up and down, he involved the kids especially the birthday girl in many of the magic tricks. He has an instant rapport with the audience, and the adults loved it as well as the kids. Highly recommended.
Response from JZK Family Shows:
Thanks Sheri Hanock, this is one NH birthday party I wont forget anytime soon.
I recently attended the Chester Fair. I lived in this town for 14 years and like to visit/attend the events.There was a very energetic,funny and personable man walking around the ball field. He was really encouraging interaction from the kids and adults while he performed many silly magic tricks. Jim the magic guy had most of us laughing along with him!
He captivated and amused those in the audience and later brought many smiles to the faces of people waiting in line when he twisted balloon creations at his tent.Jim made alot of funny comments about the balloons he was making. He was well received by everyone.Hats off to whoever hired this fun entertainer for the fair. Great job!
I was going to leave halfway through the show and leave someone else in charge but I was enjoying your magic presentation so I stayed till the end.
It was really a funny program.Good luck to you and Thanks for a great show!

This NH Show featured Jim The Magic Guy & included balloon sculpture for magic assistants during
the show.
My kids attended at birthday party with Jim the Balloon Guy. They had so much fun and came home with a lot of balloons.
I am a commander of a V.F.W and we hired Jim to perform his magic show as well as ballon twisting for our commanders/community appreciation day BBQ His interaction with the kids as well as the adults was great, everyone enjoyed the show, then after the magic show he amazed the kids with his ballon twisting, making hats, animals, just about anything the kids asked for, he had the kids laughing and the adults too. Great Show

Have done lots of American legions,Amvets and VFWS over 22 years. Had a great time at these events. These men have given their time & lives to protect those back in USA. God Bless Our Vets!! Thank You Bob Ventullo, it was an Honor to have been of service to VFW post 8546 in Salem,NH!
I hired Jim to do the balloon twisting at my grand reopening event. Jim did an AWESOME job. He was great with the kids and adults, and they enjoyed him a great deal. There were lots of smiles when people were with him and after they left him. He made some amazing animals and hats. Jim was professional and polite when handling the business side of the booking. I would recommend Jim to everyone. If you have a personal or corporate booking he is the balloon twister to hire.
Thank you again Jim for the great day, and the special last minute balloon you made as you were leaving for the boy, who's brother popped his balloon.
Response from JZK Family Shows:
Manager Paula Cayer, Thanks for your nice review. A true pleasure servicing your Manchester, NH Rite Aid #10278 store!
I have seen Jim perform at several events. He does great kids' magic and also several balloon creations, animals, hats, etc. The kids always seem engaged. He uses kids as assistants in his magic and they all appear to enjoy being chosen. His lines for animals are long but patient.
(I had to choose a city, state and date but have seen him many times and he has been consistently funny and patient)
Jim helped us entertain 40+ kids during our open house this past week. He was professional, courteous and the kids enjoyed the show.
We would recommend him without any hesitation.
Response from JZK Family Shows:
TY! Costa Sideridis ....I Loved your MA factory event!
I was the coordinator of our annual Open House. Jim was busy with a long line during the time he was with us. I noticed that the children were excited and appeared very happy with their balloon creations received from Jim The Balloon Guy.
He was professional and handled both the children and adults
kindly at all times. The one thing Jim did not do was to take time out say 20 minutes to eat and drink which I've since suggested he do the next time he joins us.
I would definately hire Jim again for another Open House.
Response from JZK Family Shows:
Had a great time. TY D. Scafidi ! Really enjoyed working for Salem NH Fire Dept.'s Open House.
Jim performed for the first time at the Acton Fair (ME) in 2007.
He was invited to perform at the Fair as he was our opening act
performing balloon shows with The Locke Family at events in Newengland. I recommend his comedy magic show as well.
He is also a fun walkaround and meet and greet performer.
I knew Jim would be a great addition to the entertainment line
up at Acton Fair.
We ask back the acts that have been requested again & again.
Jim continues to be brought back yearly due to popular demand.
This talented kid show entertainer engages our crowds and his sillyness & love for his audience comes across through fun, interactive Balloon Shows.
We just finished up the 2011 edition of the Acton Fair and once again Jim The Balloon Guy delighted and brought lots of laughs to his Audience. The younger kids are crazy about him for his sillyness / cool balloons and funny patter.
Invite Jim's balloon, comedy magic shows or strolling entertainment and watch your attendees be amused!
Make your next event .....memorable..... Hire JZK Family Shows.
Response from JZK Family Shows:
Once again Jim The Balloon Guy has been hired to perform at the Acton Fair.
For the first time he will appear for 2 days instead of all 4 days,due to budget cuts.
SEE YOU the last weekend of August 2013.
St Theresa's Festival Committee has hired Jim two years in a row. We found him to be reliable, fun and very good with the children. We would hire him again. The kids love the balloon animals and he fits in with all the other activities going on around him.
Response from JZK Family Shows:
TY Mary Camilleri! I so enjoyed the 2 years I've entertained for your Billerica, MA event.
I am so looking forward to your event in 2012 as you asked me to pencil you in for next year.
I have had jzk family shows come to my house a total of 3 times in the last two years. Jim did a great job each time he was with us and has got compliments from my guests. He always arrives early and is both professional and a pleasure to work with.
The kids are crazy about this funny guy. Every time he comes my kids keep looking out the front windows for him and when he is
done they dont want him to leave.
Before I go any further I want to mention that the pricing was the most affordable I found after receiving many quotes from others.
With this company I got both a good rate and great service.
After Jim did my daughter Angel's 5th and 6th birthday there was no doubt as to who I wanted for my younger daughters 4th birthday party! I had Jim come for the 3rd time this past weekend.
He made sure all the children got balloons and even made
balloon hats for some of the adults. We really enjoyed ourselves.
I highly recommend this talented entertainer!
Response from JZK Family Shows:
TY Miss D. Schilling!! What a great time we all had in Hampstead, NH.
I brought my 2 grand children to an event open house at Target Plaza in Salem,NH. The program featured live baby chicks, the easter bunny and balloon sculptures.
The entertainment that got the most reaction from the crowd was Jim the balloon guy.
This man engaged both the children / adults and got alot of laughs from everyone!!
His balloon sculptures & funny banter was a huge hit with the crowd that filled the store. I noticed alot of people asking for his card.
With the summer already here I bet Jim is going to be really busy!
I recently had a birthday party for my 10 year old son, and I hired Jim to do balloon twisting. He showed up promptly, set up his equipment, and began his show. It was a different type of balloon twisting experience because he made a guessing game out of the shapes. He was telling jokes and really got the kids interested. As a special touch, he brought my son a birthday card and two mylar "Happy Birthday" balloons. I would highly recommend to hire him for an event.
Response from JZK Family Shows:
TY Michelle Sabbia! Your party in Reading, MA was a blast!
I attended a party recently where Jim performed. The young children were glued to their seats and Jim had everyone laughing, he is very funny. I would highly recommend Jim thr balloon guy!!!!
JIM DID MY DAUGHTERS 4TH BDAY PARTY AT FIRST SHE WAS A LITTLE SHY BUT NOT SOON AFTER SHE WAS RIGHT INTO IT JIM WAS GREAT WITH THE KIDS. THE KIDS THOUGHT HE WAS A RIOT AND EVEN THE ADULTS. EVERYONE IS COMMENTING ON WHAT A GREAT JOB HE DID I WOULD HAVE TO GIVE JIM A 10 FOR PERFORMANCE AND PRICE I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE HIM AT ONE OF MY GUESTS PARTY LIKE I SAID EVERYONE ENJOYED HIM I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO HIRE HIM AGAIN
Response from JZK Family Shows:
Thanks Michelle Normandie! This Lowell, MA party featured Jim The Magic Guy, w/ a comedy magic show & balloon twisting. Birthday girl soon wanted to do magic after seeing the other kids do it. She was funny & adorable & had us all laughing. She tied a shoe magically without touching it. The look on her face was amazing!
We hired Jim for our son's 4 yr old bday party. Jim did a great job of adapting the majic tricks specifically for the 4 yr olds. He got everyone involved with his tricks and his silly ways were loved by the kids. He also took his time to be sure all the children had a ballon animal before he left. The 30 min majic act was just enough not too long and not too short for the kids' attention spans. He was prompt and organized.
Response from JZK Family Shows:
TY Jenn B for a great time at your NH child's birthday!
The Billerica Yankee Doodle Homecoming is a yearly community event.It would not be possible without volunteers and sponsors.There is always a large crowd of attendees and lots of food and a variety of offerings.
Entertainment included Bands, Magic shows,Balloon Sculpturing & more.
New this year was Jim The Balloon Guy / Jim The Magic Guy who
entertained the crowds on Saturday and Sunday. He was recommended by another Billerica group. Jim got lots of laughs from both kids and adults including myself. Everyone loved the balloons he created.
The magic shows were lots of fun! I noticed he was having as much
fun as his audience.
People definately talk and I heard many compliments on the magic
shows and balloons.
I recommend JZK Family Shows for any family friendly event!
Mary Hamlett
JZK family shows was on time, very professional and the kids loved him! I would hire him for any event I may have in the future because I know I can depend on him and we really had a great time!! He is great to the kids and makes even the adults laugh. Thank you! Marie Comeau

Have a restaurant that does a kids night once a month
or even every week?
I have awesome rates and usually beat others prices

and have much experience doing this.
Many of our clients are on going or repeat customers and
We Love those customers!
In the case of repeat customers we often hold the same
price for as long as we can.
