I do birthday parties!
I show up on time and over deliver every time, my #1 goal is for you to worry less and enjoy more.
For over 10 years I've learned and practiced my craft, I absolutely love entertaining children and families. I love to see the look on people's faces when after getting their faces painted or getting an elaborate balloon sculpture.
I am the birthday party Rockstar, I specialize in bringing high energy entertainment to birthday parties and other events.
Your kid deserves the best!
So don't settle for less,
The foam party from Rockstar Bubbles far exceeded our expectations! They were very organized, easy to work with and very friendly. Our kids had a blast and will remember this party for a long time! Hope to have them back next year for VBS!
We hired Paul to do a magic show for my son’s 7th birthday. The show are entertaining for everyone. The younger kids were amazed! The older kids were laughing and trying to figure out the tricks. The adults stayed engaged and enjoyed the humor. He was also on time, set up quick, cleaned everything up, and managed the kids so well.
Paul Spring did a beautiful job of decorating our house for our son's rehearsal dinner. He was prompt, discussed the color scheme and arrived ready to decorate. He entertained the 2 and 5 year old while he worked and even made them balloon swords. This is the second event he has helped me with and I would definitely call him again!
We had a great time and he was able to entertain a variety of ages at our birthday party! Highly recommend if you are wanting something a little different at your party!
We had a balloon animal station and a face painting station for a 200 person block party. Both the balloon animal and face painter artist were AMAZING. Respectful, great with kids and adults, patient, and extremely talented! The overall experience was very organized. I would absolutely book again
I found Paul through a web search. After reading all the positive reviews, I booked him for my daughter's 5th birthday party. I had no idea what to expect -- I was pretty anxious about how a magic show would go over with 25 rambunctious boys and girls. Turns out it was amazing. We had a bunch of guests show up late so Paul changed the plan on the fly to accommodate. We started with the face painting (amazing, always a hit with this age group), then sang HBD and cut the cake, then went into the magic show. The kids were fascinated by the show and were glued to their seats. The show is extremely interactive and every kid was fully engaged. As a host and parent, it made me so happy to hear my daughter and her friends **squealing and screaming** w/ laughter. Paul was able to make his magic show very age appropriate and even incorporated some parents into the fun, which the kids loved. As the birthday girl, you get a little extra attention -- my usually-shy daughter jumped right on in and participated without hesitation. This could not have gone any better and I would absolutely recommend booking Paul!
Paul was a blast to have at my sons birthday party. He was on time, professional and provided a lot of laughs. He was great with the kids. Wish I knew about him sooner. We will use him again..
Response from Birthday Party Rockstar, Paul Spring:
Thanks Aaron,
It was my pleasure. I really had a good time entertaining at your sons party.
Thank you for being patient with the kids & the face painting, balloon twisting & magic show was great !!!!
The birthday party rockstar certainly rocked my sons 5th birthday! He entertained guests for 2 hours of magical fun! He far exceeded our expectations! Thank you Paul for a birthday party my son will never forget :)
I highly recommend his service.
He is right on time, flexible and has a unique specialty in balloon twisting & face painting.
Response from Birthday Party Rockstar, Paul Spring:
Thanks for your kind words Godwyn and thanks for having me entertain at your son’s birthday!
Paul Spring came in 2015 to perform his magic for my twins' 4th birthday party, additionally balloon twisting and face painting. He was awesome, captivated the crowd, loved by the kids and parents. The kids loved magic so much, I hired another magician for their 6th birthday party, but I was very disappointed after the bar had been set. The Birthday Party Rockstar performed once again for my kids' 8th birthday. He is wonderful! He really connects and interacts effortlessly with the kids. His flow is steady, no awkwardness, truly an awesome performer for kids of all ages and adults. If anyone is looking for an interactive performance filled with magic, humor, animation, and Fun, I highly recommend Paul Spring, The Birthday Party Rockstar!
Response from Birthday Party Rockstar, Paul Spring:
Thanks, Jennifer! I appreciate the kind words and thoroughly enjoyed performing for your kids 8th birthday, thanks again for your continued business.
Paul did such an amazing job at our sons 6th birthday! His face painting was amazing and he took the time to make sure every child got just what they asked for. The balloon twisting was great. The bow and arrows were a huge hit with the kids. The magic show was funny and entertaining. The kids laughed, yelled and cheered through the whole thing. Paul literally made my sons day when he got to be a part of the magic show. I highly recommend him for any event that you may have!
This is our second time using Paul. For this party he did balloon art and the kids were so happy. His creations were amazing... different animals, a pin ball machine balloon ( I didn’t even know you could make one of these!),cool swords, and much more. Not only is Paul talented, he is professional, punctual, and great with kids and adults alike. I plan on using him again in July. Definitely worth every penny.
Paul did a great job !!! He was great with the kids and had some amazing tricks. He Made the birthday a very special one !!!
-Joe V.
Paul is a very good face painter and entertainer. Made the children and the parents very happy indeed!
Will be hiring him in the future.
Thank you, Paul
Paul connected with our group of 5 and 6 year old girls (and parents) and kept everybody amazed, giggling, and laughing for the full 45 minute magic show.
He was on time, easy to work with, and a pleasure to have at our grand daughter's birthday party.
Response from Birthday Party Rockstar, Paul Spring:
Thanks for having me at your grand daughters birthday, David! And thanks for the wonderful review :)
Paul performed for a joint birthday party for our boys, ages 3 & 5. We got the face painting, balloon animals & a magic show all from just him, which amazes me! We had 30 kids at the party and he creatively painted a majority of the kids faces (some didn’t want it) and also completed every request for balloons! Finally the magic show was creative, engaging and fun for all the adults and children! After the party all my friends asked for his info. You won’t go wrong with having Paul at your party!! Thanks Paul!
We had Paul perform for our son's fifth birthday. We did the balloon art and magic show package. He put on an awesome show that both kids and adults enjoyed. He was flexible, accommodating, kind, and professional. I highly recommend him.
It was the first time we offered a balloon twister at our annual company Christmas party and we are so happy that we did. So the kids were in line when Santa came and they stayed in line to have a balloon made.
He was fun and personable. Will definitely hire again.
Response from Birthday Party Rockstar, Paul Spring:
Thanks for having me at your company Christmas party and for the great review! Looking forward to working with you again.
Paul
Paul and his assistant did a wonderful job at my child's birthday party! The face painting and balloon art was just spectacular. The kids really enjoyed the magic show as well. They were on time.
Rockstar did a great job face painting at our grand opening! He is awesome! We will book him again!
If you’re a Cub Scout leader or teacher Paul will provide you with an uplifting, inspirational, funny, and magical show for your scouts/students! If you want that wow factor for your kids party book him! We are lucky to have such talent in the triad!
Paul was EXACTLY what we hoped for when planning our birthday party. We selected a magic show and magic lesson. He was AWESOME! My son said afterwards, "I'll never forget this birthday...ever." Paul was professional, funny, silly, and engaging!!!
We hired Paul at the recommendation of a friend. Our event was for an elementary school carnival of around 350 kids. Paul was on time, incredibly professional and a fantastic addition to the event! All the children were talking about him! He did a great job and we will definitely be using him again! Thanks Paul!!
I hired Paul for my son's 6th birthday party and he did a fabulous job! When I first reached out to him, he quickly answered all of my questions in a very friendly and professional manner. He showed up on time and did a terrific job setting up for the party. I ordered balloon twisting + a magic show + a magic lesson and he was AMAZING! Paul made each child their own unique and creative balloon, including bows and arrow, Fortnight weapons, little mermaids, turtles, and other fun animals and creations. Paul's magic show was brilliant and wonderfully entertaining for both the kids and adults. He was talented in all of his magic tricks, he was funny, and a true entertainer. He kept everyone entertained for more than two hours, which is tough to do with this age group! I highly recommend Paul for any type of event: parties for kids and adults, and I can see him doing an extraordinary job for corporate events as well.
Response from Birthday Party Rockstar, Paul Spring:

Response from Birthday Party Rockstar, Paul Spring:
You guys make me feel like part of the family! Thank you for trusting me and my work. I love bringing the best I can to make your parties a success. :)
Paul.
Paul and Paula are such talented face painters!!! Paula graced us with her talent at my daughter's 5yr old birthday party. She kept the little ones entertained with her beautiful artwork! I would not hesitate to have her again at our next event!
Response from Birthday Party Rockstar, Paul Spring:
Thanks again for having Paula face paint at your daughter's 5th birthday party, you ROCK!
When my son said he wanted a magic birthday, I googled magicians in the area. Paul Spring came up as the top-rated magician in the area, and I now know why. Prior to the event, Paul was very professional and prompt with communication. I was told up front exactly what to expect and what I would receive for the package I chose. My son invited his friends and their siblings, and every child (from 2 to 8-year-olds) LOVED the magic show. It was funny, age-appropriate, and kept the kids laughing and sitting(!!) for 30 minutes (which we all know is difficult to do)! The parents were blown away by the face painting and balloon making. Each child looked like he or she had gotten a professional airbrushed face paint, and every child went home with a balloon of their choice. It truly was a magical party and one we will remember forever. I HIGHLY recommend Paul Spring. It is money well spent!
Response from Birthday Party Rockstar, Paul Spring:
Thanks for the great review and for having me at your son’s birthday. We had an awesome time entertaining for your family and friends!
Paul.
Paul taught our youth group how to sculpt balloons (in prep for a summer mission trip). He was an AWESOME teacher! He led us step-by-step in making 4-5 sculptures. He was very patient and gave individual attention as needed (which was often). I give Paul an A+++++!
Paul and his sister Paula do a wonderful job entertaining for a big event. They have tireless energy and bountiful creativity when it comes to balloon twisting. There is a always a long line at our 5K and not one child ever goes home disappointed. They bring such joy to our event.
Paul did a awesome job at my daughter’s birthday party. He was early to set up, interactive and the kids loved their face painting and balloons. Definitely recommend!!
This was or second event hiring Paul and he went above and beyond they call of duty! He is the best around. I highly recommend him. His work is like no other. He added a very special touch to or wedding. We will hire him again that’s for sure!
This is the second time we have used Paul for a corporate event. He is professional, prompt to respond, friendly and does a great job entertaining our guests.
Kids loved the balloon twisting and even adults were amazed to his magical skills. .Party was even more lively and amusing with Paul's events !
Paul does a great job you can tell he really enjoys what he does. The face painting is amazing and the magic show he does for our kids is very entertaining for all ages. He is always on time and always ready. I would recommend him to anyone!!
Paul was incredible to work with for my son’s 5th birthday celebration. He made the booking process easy and excellent communication in advance and the day of the event. The kids loved his very impressive balloon-making skills.
Paul did an AMAZING job at our Daddy Daughter Date Night last week! I will be scheduling for all my events at Chick-fil-A in the future!
I have worked with and used His talents before. The kids love his balloon twisting and artistry. I totally reccomend Paul.
Paul was our magician for our annual Kisses4Kate New Year's Eve Ball. This is a family event and many children were present this year. Paul did a beautiful job of keeping them mesmerized and jumping up and down with excitement. Some of the parents were hooked too. He is super friendly and very professional. You can't do better!
I recommend Partyrockstar to anyone who is looking for entertainment at your event. The kids loved his face paint designs and he was extremely welcoming. Looking forward to working with him in the future.
Paul came out in snowy weather and made our daughters birthday party. He was engage with the children while making balloon art and also put on a great magic show. The kids were participating and laughing throughout the whole show. Each balloon twist Paul did brought and instant smile to the child. I would hire Paul again and recommend him to all my friends.
Every person at the party had a smile on their face, young to adult. He did not disappoint and provided an amazing experience for the birthday boy and guests!!!!
Response from Birthday Party Rockstar, Paul Spring:
Thanks for the review and for having me entertain at Smith’s birthday!
We decided to have Paul over to entertain our guests at our children's birthday party. It was the best decision we could've made; he was engaging, friendly and punctual. He arrived early to set up and kept my son occupied as we finished the last minute preparations. He even convinced him to get his face painted(a veritable feat considering my son is a 3yr old who doesn't like to sit still). His face painting was detailed and beautiful; his balloon twisting whimsical and festive, his props fun and creative, and his magic/comic routine had everyone, including the adults, in stitches. He did all that he said he would, and so much more. We found him to be professional and charming, taking the time to make every kid feel special and even getting some of the adults into the party spirit. Thank you Paul for all the little things you did to make our party come alive. Wish you the best and hope to see you soon( a lot of our guests asked about you).
Response from Birthday Party Rockstar, Paul Spring:

Paul is definitely the best around and the price is unbeatable ! All of my guests from children to adults were entertained ! He is amazingly talented in every aspect of what he does ! From face painting , to the magic show, to balloons we were extremely impressed !
Thanks So much
Paul drove to our home in Burlington, set up and provided face painting and balloon artistry for what seemed like the whole neighborhood! His designs were spot on and the kids loved their ability to be creative!It will not be the last time we have Paul come to our parties!
I'm the Community Relations Director at the High Point Museum and we were very pleased with the service of Paul's Magic. Paula attended our Ghost Stories in the Park event held October 14 and did a wonderful job. The quality of her face painting was fabulous. She interacted well with the people at our event. She was very professional and nice.
Paul was a huge hit at our school’s fall festival! His balloon creations were second to none, and the kids loved him. On time, professional, easy to work with. Would absolutely recommend Paul for all of your balloon twisting needs!
Response from Birthday Party Rockstar, Paul Spring:
Thanks for taking the time to write such a kind review!
Paul came as a balloon twister to our event today. He was so easy to coordinate with in the weeks leading up to the event and was on time and ready to go as agreed. That aside, his way with the kids and the balloons he made were beyond my imagination! I really can't say enough good things about him. Book him today!!
PAUL WAS EXCELLENT. HE ARRIVED ONTIME AS BOOKED. HE PAINTED KIDS AND ADULTS TO LOOK THE PARR FOR OUR SHIMMER AND SHINE PARTY. MONEY WELL SPENT
Response from Birthday Party Rockstar, Paul Spring:
Thanks for the review Latoya, looking forward to working with again.
Paul did a great job at our company picnic. He arrived on time, set up and was a wonderful addition to the afternoon. The kids loved it!
I scheduled a corporate event, and Paul's services required no attention - it was nice to be able to focus on other aspects of the event. The balloons and facepainting were excellent, and Paul was extremely personable. Will definitely contact for any future needs.
I had Paul doing face painting at my event and I was very busy, he set up his station quickly and entertained the children while the adults mingled. The children were happy and his work was beautiful. He is very talented and professional! I highly recommend his services.
Response from Birthday Party Rockstar, Paul Spring:
Mariana thanks for having me! Your guests were a delight to work with.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Paul added such a fun element to our event! He was professional and creative and was enjoyed by both children and adults!
Response from Birthday Party Rockstar, Paul Spring:
Kristin, Thanks for taking the time to write a review! It was my pleasure working with you.
We used Paul for my daughter's 3rd birthday party and he was amazing! He came to the party to do face painting for the kids and also make balloon animals. Everyone including the adults was so impressed by his work! We would definitely use Paul again!
Very friendly and good with the kids! The balloon twisting was awesome and all the kids really got into the magic show. Highly recommended!
Paul's Magic provided an wonderful hour long program which captivated our 80 summer camp children ranging in age from one years old through 5th grade for the entire time. Paul was able to adapt his program to fit into our weekly theme of Christ's Little Acorns Got Talent. He talked with the children about what talents were, how everyones' talents are unique and special and that you need to practice to become good at your talent. The program was age appropriate and involved child participation for many of the tricks. He also showed them a trick that they were able to take home with them to wow their friends. His magic was entertaining both for the children and our staff. We highly recommend using him and plan to have him come back in the future.
We booked Paul to make balloons for our customers at a automotive event . He was quick to respond to my questions, arrived in advance of the time we booked him, was captivating and personable with both children and adults and made great balloons for our guests. I would use him again without hesitation.
Thank you Paul for sharing your artistic talent and great personality with us!

We had a lot of fun during my son's birthday party. Paul put up a great show and did not dissapoint. He is a very nice person as well. Highly recommended.
Paul came out to do a show for my granddaughters 5th birthday on September 24. I am so pleased with the outcome of his whole visit. Paul is very talented with his work and the kids loved him as well as the adults. Very kind, curitious and thankful. We hope to run into another show somewhere again. Price is very reasonable as well and so worth to see my princess smiling. I couldn't of asked for a better day. Thank you Paul Spring.
We hired Paul for my daughter's 4th Birthday party. He was on time, set everything up pretty quickly and got started right away. He did face painting, balloon twisting and magic show. Thanks to him, we had the kids glued to the seats for an hour during the magic show. Even the adults participated in the magic show. My daughter loved it. I would definitely recommend him.
I had the pleasure of booking Paul for a combination 3 year old birthday/high school graduation party. It was a tall order to appeal to all of those age groups but Paul more than met our expecations! He was engaging, talented and entertaining. He seemed to really desire to make the experience the best for us that he could and most of all to ENJOY what he does, which was infectious. He was extremely professional and friendly which made the entire experience even more pleasant. Highly recommend him for any age group, as the adults enjoyed it just as much as the kids!
Response from Birthday Party Rockstar, Paul Spring:
Wendy, thanks for the kind review. It was my absolute pleasure to perform for your family. :)
Paul performed his magic show for my 5-year-old son and his pack of friends. The kids were absolutely thrilled by Paul's tricks, charmed by his humor, and very eager to volunteer to join the show. He and his sister also provided face-painting after the show, the quality of which was far beyond what I was expecting. I would absolutely hire Paul again and recommend him highly if you're looking for magic or face painting.
Paul and his partner put up an excellent show for my daughters birthday. The kids really enjoyed the magic show. Thanks to Paul.
We had a great experience with him esoecially because he is bilingual which i did not expect but i am glad he came because most of my family speaks spanish and they were anle to understand and enjoy better
I hired Paul to entertain at my son's first birthday party, and I could not have been happier!! The guests (lots of 4-year-olds, my older son's friends) absolutely loved the face painting, balloons and magic show! Paul even inspired a couple kids to put on their own magic show when they got home. :) A big thank you to Paul for helping make the party so special! He is very easy to work with, responds quickly to emails, and knows exactly how to entertain a room full of kids! I highly recommend Paul for your next party!
On behalf of the JW Home Improvement Team, we thank Paul for sharing his incredible talents with us. Our office party was a great success with having him as part of our venue. Great attitude, amazing art, and will definitely have him back for future events! Thanks again!
Paul was great at our son's 3rd birthday party. Before he even showed up, he always followed up with my phone calls and showed follow through from start to finish. As people were finishing lunch, he began with his balloon twisting which the kids couldn't get enough of. He made everything from dinosaurs to swords to doggies. Then he performed his magic show. He was thoroughly entertaining to the kids and grown ups. We liked how he even had the grown ups participate in the show too. Paul is laid back and has a wonderful sense of humor. He is talented, and everyone was very impressed. We highly recommend Paul Spring.
I have hired paul for my daughters 2 birthday parties and he is wonderful!!. He kept the children very entertained with faced painting, balloons, and kept everybody mind blown with his magic. He is a great performer and such a nice person. I defibately would reccomend him and will most definately have him at my daughters 3rd birthday.
I hired Paul to be the magician for my son's 5th Birthday party. I can not express how completely THRILLED, HAPPY & AMAZED I am at him and his performance. The kids absolutely loved him and talked about the magic tricks long after the show was over. Paul is a wonderful magician, has a great sense of humor and is brilliant when it comes to entertaining children (and adults!) with the best entertainment of all, magic! Don't look any further! Paul is your guy! I promise you will be satisfied! I will definitely be hiring Paul to return for my oldest son's birthday party next year and will be recommending him to friends and family!
Paul was great! He came early and even brought his wife and son to help out! We had 2hrs doing face painting and balloons and he did an awesome job managing his time and making sure everyone was happy! One of my favorite things was Paul took the initiative to help me wrangle the crowd to sing happy birthday when I needed help! He made such a great impression with our guests, one of the parents got his info and plan to hire him for one of their parties. Paul was definitely worth hiring!
First time using this website to find an entertainer. Paul was aswsome with the kids! Even the grown ups got to take
Part in the act. Overall all my guests that were entertained. After the show all my family members and friends asked for

Only the best service I can provide, your event is my priority.
To book your event I take $100 deposit for most gigs, we can do via PayPal or right here in gigsalad.

The birthday boy or birthday girl will be a Rockstar for a day!
