I was very hesitant to hire him at first because it was our first time hiring magician for my son's 1st Birthday. But then Perry guided me through by giving me tips of what to expect and what I should be looking for - for a performer. With that being said - my husband and I are ecstatic of how kids and visitors loved him & enjoyed him. Infact, a few mothers from my party had called me back and said that their kids are begging them to hire him for their birthday. My Dad and I even gave him an extra total tip of $70 for a job well done because he deserves it. Excellent Job Perry

He captivated the kids with magic tricks, jokes, and some balloon art. Very professional. Cleaned up after performance.

Perry is so talented, the balloon creations were incredibly impressive. He is very engaging, mingling among the guests and performing magic in addition to his beautiful balloons. He's a talented magician, and kept us all in awe of his magic. He is a delightful, jovial, talented entertainer, and we can't wait to have him back!

Patient, witty, kind and sooo talented. I've also never seen anyone that could hold a group of 2 to 4 year old's attention like he does. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking Perry again.

We hired magician Perry Yan for our 5 year old's birthday party in Walnut Creek and he kept everyone at the edge of their seats, even the adults. Both the magic show and balloon creations are worth the money. Highly recommended.
Balloon Twister, Children’s Party Magician
We had an adult gather of about 30 people and we were all blown away by Perry's talent, both as a magician and balloon twister. These were not your typical balloon animals at the county fair, these were over the top creations. My guest are still talking about his close up magic. With a combination of "How did he do that?" and mostly, "Did that just happen?" Without any hesitation I would recommend Perry Tan for anything and I would certainly book him again.

Hi Jeannie
I had a terrific time doing the magic show and making balloons for all the kids. Thank you so much for being such a great client and easy to work with!

Perry is such a joy to work with! We hired him for my daughter's birthday party as a balloon twister. He was punctual, great with the kids, made sure all the kids had a special balloon, very creative in his balloons (soooo impressed with the bow and arrow which actually work really well and the unicorn). The adults in the party has asked for his contact details as everyone I spoke with were impressed with his creativity and rapport with the kids. We couldn't have been happier!

Perry is the BEST children's entertainer I have ever seen. He captivated an audience of 100 children without breaking a sweat. His humor and wit had the kids roaring with laughter. So much fun, thank you, Perry!

Youngest guest was 2 years old and the oldest was 75years old. We we are captivated with Perry Yann performance. He really knew how to work the crowd .
Mr. Perry Yann also was very easy to communicate with prior, during and after my son's birthday party. He also took the initiative to reach out to me to confirm the event two days before. I found him to be very professional.
In summary you will not regret hiring Mr. Perry Yann for your event. I had twenty adults and 17 children and everyone have him raving reviews. Mr. Perry Yann performance was nothing less than exceptional. I predict a very bright and successful career for Mr. Perry Yann.

I hired Perry for my daughters 8th birthday and over the past 6 months they had attended 2 other parties that also had magicians, so I needed a show that would keep them (as well as our guest) entertained. Perry did not disappoint!! Everyone was having such a good time laughing and participating that it was catching the attention of other guest in the pizza parlor where we booked our party. The kids as well as their parents were amazed to watch Perry work his magic not only through out the show but with the wonderful balloons. Perry is very professional, easy to get a hold of and just a pleasure to work with. I have Perry to thank for making my daughters party a success and extremely memorable.

Perry was punctual and ready go after a quick set-up. Overall, it was a great experience having Perry at our birthday party event. I highly recommend him for your party.

Perry came to my daughters birthday party. She and all her friends (10year olds) had a blast and loved him very much. They kept doing tricks all night long! Perry engaged all kids and showed them some tricks after the show - so cool! His show is also very funny. Would recommend him at any time! Great birthday surprise for a 10 year old! Booking, confirming, setting up, all very easy with him!

We hired Perry to do balloon twisting for our daughter's fifth bday party after seeing his work at a friend's party. He was amazing! His balloon creations are spectacular -- original, fun and very intricate. All of the kids were amazed by the balloons Perry made for them, and all of the parents wanted to hire him for their next party. Perry was also a pleasure to work with, and was really great with the kids. He is truly in a league of his own.
Balloon Twister
Perry did a terrific job! He was on time, very polite and super organized. The kids (age 9-10 + one 4 yr old) ALL loved his magic show, as did the adults. He also made amazing balloon animals and other shapes/things too. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. You cannot go wrong!!

We had a birthday party for our 4 year old son and Perry was excellent. All the kids AND adults loved him!
Balloon Twister, Children’s Party Magician
I hired Perry for my twins' first birthday party. He was a hit! Everyone came up to me afterward and asked me where I found him. I hope he gets more business because he did a great job. The adults were fighting over balloon animals. It was crazy. Thanks again!
Balloon Twister, Children’s Party Magician
we had Perry perform at our daughter's 5th birthday party last weekend and it was amazing. he totally knows his audience- he had 15 kids cracking up for a good half hour, not to mention his stellar balloon skills. we would absolutely 100% recommend Perry!

We wanted our son to have a fun birthday experience with his 2nd grade classmates, so we asked Perry to visit his classroom. The kids were SO EXCITED!! Perry is PERFECT for 7/8 year olds - they've seen a lot of entertainers by this point, and are difficult to impress. But they were dancing and singing as Perry set up his backdrop (he has a great playlist!), and a clear booming voice for his magic show that worked perfectly for the classroom. We only had an hour for the magic and balloons, so Perry was nice enough to honor that timeframe by making balloons ahead of time (there were about 25 kids), and still allowed each kid to request a personal balloon. By the end of the party, our son was glowing and hearing his friends say "Best party ever!" Perry is the ultimate professional, and super sweet and funny. We'll definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone who asks!

We saw Perry at a friend's party and booked him for our daughter's 7th birthday party. He arrived early to set up and was very friendly to the kids. He made amazing balloon shapes for the kids...aliens, princess crown, a whale, Spiderman, Ariel, you name it! His magic tricks impressed the kids as well as got them laughing on the floor. The same jokes magically also worked on us adults. Now my daughter's friends AND their parents want Perry at their birthday parties! My only request is to contact me 1-2 days before the event. Great entertainer, I would definitely have him again for other parties.
Balloon Twister, Comedy Magician
I was extremely pleased with Perry's talents and professionalism. My daughter is a very shy girl, but he made her laughed and even raised her hand to volunteer during the magic show. I could not have asked for a better magician/balloon artist. Lastly, the adults had a great time watching his show also. Thank you for awesome show!!
Children’s Party Magician, Balloon Twister
Where did you find this guy? Numerous of my friends asked where where i found Perry and asking for his contact information.
I recently hired Perry to perform for my son's 7th birthday party. I had called around as well, but I'm very glad I went with Perry. He was extremely easy to work with. Quick with his replies and arrived 30 minutes ahead of time to set up for the magic show. His prices were really reasonable compared to the other quotes i received as well.
His magic show was not only amazing to the kids but also the adults. Plus he is also very funny and kept everyone laughing throughout the show. He made some of the best balloon animals I've ever seen afterwords. Things like monkey on a palm tree , bow and arrows, jet packs. Be sure to ask him to make a ninja!!! It was so cool.
Book Perry!!! You won't regret it....We didn't.

Professional, easy to arrange, on time, and gave a great show. The kids loved it. His balloons are great. He gave the adults a few laughs too.
Children’s Party Magician, Balloon Twister
We asked Perry to entertain at our son's first birthday. Perry was prompt and professional. He was able to set up the stage smoothly and gave us some guidance on how to set up the chairs for the audience. The kids were really into the magic show which is a challenge considering how kids can shift their attention easily.
After the show, he twisted balloons for the kids. Perry made a a very impressive octopus balloon for one of the kids.
The only thing we didn't get was a confirmation a couple of days before the event date. Everything was confirmed the month before, but a confirmation a few days before the event is good for reassurance.
Overall everyone had a great time. Even the adults. He got a lot of compliments from the party.

I'm glad I picked Perry for my son bday party. Guests enjoyed!!
Children’s Party Magician, Balloon Twister
I hired him for a joint birthday party for my two sons and Perry was awesome and very professional. I fortunately saw him at another party and knew what to expect for his show. We had 30 kids ranging from ages 4-8, and they were rolling on the floor laughing at his silly kid jokes (but the parents were just as entertained too) during his performance. Very professional show. He brought a curtain backdrop, and parents at the party were impressed that he self queued his own music with a Bluetooth speaker during his performance so that music suddenly seemed to come out of nowhere to accompany his special magic tricks.
His twisty balloon artwork pieces were wonderful as well. He made sure everyone got a balloon before he left. I'd highly recommend him for your kids party.

I was so glad I got Perry to come and entertain my son's birthday party. He blew everyone away with his magic tricks and balloon twists. A lot of people asked me where I found him coz he was so impressive they would like to get him for their event as well. Not only were the kids laughing but I heard the adults as well. His balloon characters were phenominal. Totally different from the ones I've seen from other balloon twisters. Every year, I always get an entertainer for my son's bday. I will definitely hire him back again. Thanks, Perry!!
