I would like to thank Toby for the perfect performance at my son's birthday party. The children ranged from age 1-9 and he was perfectly entertaining for all of them. He arrived early to the party, gave special attention not only to my son, the birthday boy, but to every child present and was courteous and professional with all interactions. One little boy who was deathy afraid of clowns prior to the party left saying, "That was a nice clown, I liked him!" Well done Toby! I would recommend you to all of my friends! Sincerely, Trey's mom

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on September 30, 2012•From Fort Myers, FL

Toby gave a performance that made our party extra special. We had a 70th anniversary party for our parents and there were lots of great grandchildren there. Not only did Toby entertain the kids before dinner, but the adults loved watching him too. And then after dinner, long after Toby left, the kids were still playing with all the balloon hats, belts, swords, or whatever Toby had made for them. One little girl was showing everyone her invisible ball inside the paper bag that Toby gave her. Our party was a tremendous success and I have to give Toby all the credit in the world for making it extra special. Toby is a fabulous clown and we are so glad we found him

The Mime and the Magician/Juggler were great! They mingled with the kids, got in pictures and were a joy to have at the party. They really "made" the party from the very beginning - everyone knew they were going to have a good time. The Mime greeted everyone coming in and the magician/juggler (Toby) was excellent keeping the kids occupied, interested and happy. I was very pleased.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on September 28, 2010•From Tampa, FL

Toby did a great job for our 4-year old's birthday party. It was a hot outdoor venue in Tampa and he handled it like a pro. I was really impressed that he did not want a deposit ahead of time. He arrived early, and he greeted each guest personally as they arrived. From there he transitioned nicely to his full act. He was able to keep the parents entertained while simultaneously keeping the 4 year old's captivated. His balloon twisting was a hit, and a good finale. He kept the kids so busy with the stage act that the parents were able to visit and relax amongst themselves, which was really nice! We would recommend him highly. Matt Taylor

Toby Circus Ballantine gave us a great entertainment at our birthday party for our small daughters. There were lots of young children (ages from 2-5) and he knew exactly what to do to make them laugh. We got lots of complainments during his show and people were asking me about his phone number. I would highly recommend Toby Circus Ballantine for any party. He is very professional and does a great job!!! Thank you Toby!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on December 25, 2010•From Naples, FL

Toby did a fantastic job! We had a birthday party for our 5 year old and nearly 40 children were in attendance. Toby was on-time and very organized. He immediately gathered the children and began to interact with each of them. The magic was impressive, the face painting was very artistic, but most of all, his attitude and professionalism warmed the hearts of children and parents alike. We HIGHLY recommend Toby to entertain and will certainly use him again in the future. Thanks Toby!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on November 27, 2009•From Venice, FL

He arrived on time and had bags and bags of props for his act. He was great with the kids, was very funny and very professional. We agreed that he would get a 10 min break between acts up front, he did not even get a chance to take the break and even ended 15 mins past the time we booked, there were no additional charges and he did it all with a smile on his face. I would hire him again. Ballantine is very talented and the kids at my daughters party could not get enough of his balloon animals. He is worth every single penny. You will not be disappointed. Once again, Thank You Ballantine for a great gig!!!!!!!!!!!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on June 13, 2010•From Lithia, FL

Toby was the life of my 6 year old's Birthday party! He was excellent and all the kids really enjoyed him! He stayed until every last child got facepainted even running 20 minutes after! We were a little worried because sometimes kids are scared of clowns but none of the kids at our party were scared at all! We had 2-15 year olds there. It was a 95 degree day here in Florida & that didn't seem to bother Toby either! We just made sure he had lots of water & he did great! I would would hire Toby again so I def. would recommend him!

Toby the Circus Clown was great. My one year old just loved him, as did all the other children and adults. He had neat magic tricks, and great balloon animals. Each child had at least 2 or 3 balloons on by the end. I would definitely use him again in the future.

Toby was very professional. He stayed later than agreed upon and never even charged us extra. What a CLOWN ;) Thank you Toby for making my nephew's 5th B-day memorable!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on November 2, 2009•From Dunedin, FL

I am so happy with Toby the clown. He was right on time & the kids & ADULTS had so much fun. He worked so hard. We could see that he is really really really good at what he does. He did several things, so he was able to keep the kids attention for a long long time (the whole time he was there actually). He is so affordable, best price i found. Everyone keeps calling after the party just to tell us what an amazing time they and their kids had. I can't say enough about how happy we are with Toby. The adults loved him, the kids loved him, we loved him and I can say we will never have a party without hiring him again.

Sweet 16 Party•Reviewed on February 6, 2012•From Englewood, FL

Toby was great with all of the kids at the party, 8-17yrs old. He did face, arm painting, magic and a "fire breathing" show. Everyone enjoyed him. I have to admit I was running around so I didn't get to interact with him much.

Celebration•Reviewed on July 12, 2011•From Palm Harbor, FL

Toby Circus Ballantine looked great for our 4th of July Carnival! He had a great outfit as Uncle Sam and his makeup looked awesome. We were disappointed with the amount of time Toby stayed, however. He was hired for our event for a full 2 hours, with understandable 10 minute breaks throughout the performance, but Toby did not stay the entire time and was absent more than he was expected to be. Also, Toby was hired to do juggling as well as stilt walking, and there was no juggling witnessed by our staff, which also was disappointing. Regardless, Toby looked great and many of our guests got great photos with him though so he did add to success of the event.

Toby was wonderful at my son's 2nd Birthday Party. He entertained the guests of all ages from 2 to adult. I would highly recommend Toby at another event.
