• He was professional and he tells you what you can expect by having him as entertainment and what you need to do depending on the size of your party. His price was comparable to any other type of (children) entertainment. He provided envelopes for the drawings, so instead of goodie bags, we put a label on the envelope saying "Thank you for coming to..." It's a great souvenir for the kids and parents instead of toys/candies that end up in the garbage anyways-So not only was he great entertainment to watch/but he provided the souvenirs as well. -- Evelyn G, Jacksonville, FL, 1/3/2009
