Fritz was a delightful older gentleman who accommodated our scheduling needs perfectly. He was not the best ventriloquist but perhaps is great at the other things he advertises.

Family Reunion•Reviewed on December 5, 2011•From Saint Paul, MN

Fritz came well prepared with balloons for balloon sculpting and face painting. Fritz began with the balloon sculpting. With the constant line of young kids (accompanied by parents) he made ballon figures for 1 1/2 hours. By that time, our event was winding down and there was no need for Fritz to do any face painting. With our event I really did not have time to watch much of his interaction with the children. However, from other volunteers helping with our event, I heard that he was quite grumpy with the children if they chose something not on his list. Parents with the children reported this to some or the volunteers. We probably will not use him again.

Fritz Herring arrived on time. The entertainment was great. The children had a fun time and they got to be a part of the act also.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 28, 2008•From Edina, MN

Fritz was wonderful at our 60th birthday party for my wife and myself. Along with Fritz, we hired an acousic guitar player-great combination. We had a party for approximately 35 people, ranging in age from 2 to 90! He arrived in a bright blue jumpsuit, thank goodness, not a clownsuit, with the front filled with pockets full of balloons. He went to work right away making all sorts of balloon hats, what an icebreaker for a party! You can not imagine how cute it was to see my mom and dad in balloon Viking hats. The pictures are hilarious. Strongly recommend him, and the use of Gigmasters.

Awards Night Party•Reviewed on April 29, 2008•From Minneapolis, MN

Fritz was very accommodating and had a very good command of his audience. He gave the Cub Scouts magic entertainment for half an hour that was appropriate for their age. I believe the Scouts enjoyed themselves.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on April 26, 2008•From Hanover, MN

While Fritz was very accommodating, pleasant and professional (including nice birthday song at the end) - his magic and balloon artist skills were not very strong. I was hoping for a highly creative and exciting illusionist that would move through a lot of tricks in a short time. In contrast, the very simple tricks (cutting rope, cutting paper, pencils piercing cup) took a long time to setup, had no flare and did not WOW the young audience. In addition, the act lasted less than an hour (50minutes) and had several awkward pauses. Overall, the experience fell short of expectations.

Frtiz was really very good. He was on time and addressed the guest of honor and the party goers very well. I would recommend him to a more mature age group.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 18, 2008•From Mayer, MN

The birthday boy really enojoyed his act. Although- some of his 'tricks' were a little old and usually seen everywhere else, nothing outragerously new. I would recommend that in the future ballons being done at the very end. When you do that in the middle kids tend to loose their concentration for the rest of the show when they now have balloons to entertain them!

I can appreciate Sara Hanson's comments but feel I should add some feedback to her comments. There are literally thousands of magic routines and, although some of them are "old" they are still good and you are never certain if the kids in the present show have seen them. The comment that kids seem to lose their concentration is exactly why I stop about 50% through the magic part because of a slight downturn in concentration and bring about an "Uplift" and change of pace with ballooning. I let them play with their balloons for a moment and then return with some more magic to finish off the show. This usually works well but some people may misread the meaning.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 20, 2007•From Rochester, MN

I didnt think that he was as kid friendly as he could have been, the kids had fun but he was a little rude at times and didnt have enough ballons for everyone to make a ballon. I also paid for facepainting and he didnt have that kit with either. He would have been better for a older age group.

Hi, I definitely want to respond to this assessment. First of all, I was told by Gigmasters that this gig was in Rochester for a certain time but later just before the gig, I found out it was 45 miles SW from Rochester making it double the driving fee and making me late for another Clown gig I had previously booked in a SW suburb of Mpls. There was no mention of "Face painting" in the gig. Only a request for an hour and a half of Clown work. I did have balloons along to addd to the clown work and I did not - repeat, did not - run out of balloons. I had balloon creations for every kid in the party and handed them all out to them. I was not told about the face-p

Corporate Function•Reviewed on May 10, 2007•From Minnetonka, MN

Our group had fun learning about their handwriting and what it revealed about them. The time went by very quickly. I wish I had prepared better by having an overhead of samples which would have made the presentation a little more professional. Thanks again.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 3, 2007•From Minneapolis, MN

Had to negotiate change of time for appearence (on his part) which was distressing at the time. It did work out with adjustment on both of our parts. He was excellent at incorporating personal information and relationship to the kids - ability to appeal to ages 4 - 90. His singing and balloon creations were an added plus.
