Alex Corby

I do balloon twisting for children and adults alike. See your whole party become flooded with a menagerie of fun animals, hats, swords, and flowers. I make it my business to be as entertaining and personable for everyone while twisting these creations and to make sure everyone enjoys the process. Not only do I specialize in balloon sculptures for kids' birthday parties, but I also offer balloon decoration for a variety of events. I've made arches and large scale sculptures galore for parties, fundraisers, and other commemorations. All my balloons are qualatex brand and I'm always up for designing something new and unique. Whatever the occasion, my balloons are sure to make any event and unforgettable one.

Aside from balloon twisting I also offer a variety of other entertainments for all occasions.

FACE-PAINTING: I have dozens of face-paint designs for both girls and boys. Be it Spider-men, princesses, fairies, pirates, butterflies, etc. I only use snazaroo paints which are both non-toxic and easily washable. A fantastic way to bring your party alive with a bit of color.

MAGIC AND CIRCUS SHOWS: My magic shows are colorful, interactive, and hilarious to amaze and spark your child's imagination. Generally my magic shows run about 15-20 minutes and a lot of attention is given to the birthday child throughout as well as his guests.
My circus shows and acts are suitable for any age group 2-200. I'm a working juggler, acrobat, unicyclist, glass-walker, and diabolo artist. All acts are guaranteed to impress. Perfect for corporate events and roving entertainment.

STILT-WALKING: Parades, parties, mardi-gras, all of these events benefit from a man in a top-hat 9 feet tall! I have stilts from 2-5 feet and costumes to match. I also have jumping stilts, commonly known as power-risers.

FIRE-SPINNING: One of my absolute specialties and favorite acts to perform. I spin poi, staffs, and juggle all on fire (the props, not me). Best performed outdoors, but indoor performances can work as well. This is an experience for any event that will never fail to impress and astound. I am insured through Performers of the U.S. and am proud to say have never caused an accident to person or property. Feel free to e-mail me for more details.

• He was very accommodating talented and professional. He related the the crowd and gave them what they were looking for. -- Farley B, Asbury Park, NJ, 10/2/2011
• He was entertaining a very rowdy crowd of 13 boys, aged 5-7. He maintained his character well. His tricks are the standard, but he was very professional and easy going with the kids. My son and his friends had a great time. I already have recommended Alex to the parents of our guests. -- Tatiana H, Oakland, CA, 12/3/2011
• Alex was a fabulous addition to our party. He customized a costume to suit our theme and kept about 40 kids giggling and in awe of his magic show. He then dazzled us all with his creative (and speedy!) face painting skills. Thanks for making our daughters 4th birthday so special! -- Laura T, Richmond, CA, 1/15/2012
• My one year old was instantly fascinated-couldn't take his eyes off of Alex - when he performed some magic for him one on one. But the 2yr olds through adults truly enjoyed the performance. His magic was fun, his juggling was funny, and his balloons were fabulous! He really had us all clapping with how cool they were! He treated each child like he was there just for them when he was making the balloons. I really liked that! Alex answered all my back and forth emails timely, was at the venue 10 minutes before he was supposed to be, and had many of my relatives asking me where I found him. I'll definitely recommend him again! Thanks for making Ricky's bday fun! -- Adelizza D, Newark, CA, 1/28/2012
• Alex was great! We had an event with over 150 people, and he was able to handle the crowd with ease. All of the kids loved him, and everyone seemed to leave with a balloon animal (or sword, or hat). Thank you Alex for making our event awesome! -- Jennifer B, San Jose, CA, 4/7/2012
• Alex did an excellent job! He was very professional with calling me the day before to confirm and then, showing up on time to the event. He was a hit with all of the families! Since this was an event to support families who have a child with hydrocephalus, it was a real treat for them to see the creations that Alex can make. I would definitely recommend Alex to anyone and will hire him again for any future events. Thank you! -- Robyn D, Oakland, CA, 5/12/2012
