Why Choose Higher Hope Balloons?

Balloons?!?!?...

What is our fascination with balloons? Whether it is a really great twisted sculpture or a simple air or helium filled balloon most of us can’t help but smile when seeing balloons. They always make our day just a little be brighter. Is it the vibrant colors? The cool creation? Or maybe it is the endless possibilities.

I like to think it is the fact that we know balloons are only there for a moment. We know that soon they will be gone and must be enjoyed in the moment. Balloons are a great reminder that not everything lasts forever and we should take the time to enjoy them while we have the opportunity.

Whatever the reason, Higher Hope is thrilled to offer balloon art, entertainment, and decorations for a variety of events. Whether it is a birthday party, wedding, library, school, church, bar/bat mitzvah, or a corporate event I am pleased to offer fun, elegant, and unique balloon designs.

When you think of balloon art you probably think of dogs and swords. Well friend, my goal is to change your perception of what a balloon artist can do. When it comes to twisted art I am pleased to be one of the top artists available in the entire industry. The sculptures are impressive, but so is the entertainment value. I offer games, storytelling, and even educational classes with – or without - balloon props.

Twisted Sculptures

I have been twisting balloons for the last six years and am proud to be a full time balloon artist. I make elaborate sculptures and I have even created large scale sculptures for competitions and for world record attempts. I love when parents biggest challenge of the evening is figuring out how to fit a really cool balloon sculpture into the car (don't worry just ask and I'll make cute and tiny as well).

Games

I love playing and creating party games using balloons. These games are designed for party goers of all ages. Just because you’re a parent doesn’t mean you get to sit on the sidelines!

Storytelling and Shows

For millennia storytelling has been a respected art form and in many cultures the only real way truth was passed down. I am very proud to call myself a balloon storyteller. I take traditional storytelling and give it a little “twist.” By creating props and costumes out of balloons I give a whole new visual realm to the world my stories create. Using stories I have created shows about cultures, secret agents, Christmas, history, science, and I continuously work on creating new stories. These shows are great for libraries, schools, daycares, and even birthday parties. Are you covering a specific topic? We can discuss ways I can tailor my show to blend into your theme.

Balloon Twisting Classes

I have this crazy notion that every child should know how to twist basic balloon animals. Just as every child colors, paints, or draws they should experience the wonderful art of balloons. Your club, group, class, or party can learn the basics of balloon twisting in a 90 minute class. You’ll learn five basic balloon creations: dog, sword, giraffe, bear, and swan. Have fun creating these marvelous balloons for all your children, friends, and family. Also great for mission teams needing to break the language barrier. Balloons, like love, cross all challenges.

Educational Art Classes

If you have not yet noticed I have a passion for things balloon related. I mentioned earlier about my storytelling shows for schools and other events. One possible option is not to bring the balloons at all. I am also a trained speaker working with programs like Toastmasters to bring my audiences fun and entertaining speeches. While I give motivational speeches and sermons (I’m a licensed Baptist minister as well) across the country I also give speeches about balloons and my business. This is a really good option for career fairs and days at schools as well as at nursing homes. The young and old have a fascination with balloons and find it really interesting how a person like me makes a living playing with balloons.

Balloon Decorations

Not only does Higher Hope entertain and twist with balloons, but I am also a proud balloon decorator. You may only think of balloon decor as arches and columns, but because of my skill with balloon animals and twisted sculptures I able to combine what many consider two separate art forms to create elaborate designs to making any event fun, elegant, beautiful, and unique.

Superhero Birthday Party!

[RSSĀ VALIDĀ ?]

I received a call yesterday and it kinda got me excited! The lady called to book me for her son's super hero birthday party. Now, I do a lot of different themed parties. I've done clownsElmo, circus, SpongeBob, Dora the Explorer, Princess, Cowboy, Pirate, and a ton of other themed parties, but it has been years since I've gotten to do a super hero party.

The best part is that the kid is a big Superman fan. I'm a total geek and I can't wait for the new "Man of Steel" movie to come out. I've been reading comics for 20 years now and yes, you are allowed to mock my nerdiness. So I'm busy working on some balloon designs. Here are some I've used in the past:










As you can I tried to represent the DC Comics and Marvel Universe. I'm a big Avengers fan as well. I can't wait for this party!

Whatever your birthday party theme give me a call and I guarantee I will come up with some awesome creations just for you!

T-Jam on the Road

[RSS VALID ?]

I'm so excited! I just finished an amazing day at T-Jam on the Road here in St. Louis. The amazing Guido Verhoef taught and he is truly a genius.

The folks at T Myers Magic did an amazing job organizing and hosting this class and Betallic was so gracious to sponsor it.

I learned so much and I can't wait to take it to my clients.

Oh yea, I also won 2nd place in the sculpture competition and that is pretty exciting as well!

Hope to see you at an event soon!

A great New Year!

I am very excited about 2008! It will bring great new things for Higher Hope Entertainment.

The first new thing is this new website and blog! That is right I finally decided to get a new site, but thanks to the great advice from The Think Big Revolution.

This blog will be a great resource for everyone. I will be posting blogs on party planning, games, and great family activities. So be sure to subscribe to the feed and check back regularly for exciting information.

The second big change is that I will be moving to the St. Louis / Arnold, MO area in January. Yes, I'm truly privileged to be the the cities newest family performer and balloon artist. So if you work at or have contacts with restaurants, parks, new store openings, day cares, nursing homes, or any other events where I can help bring people a little closer together with my performances.

In the new year I will also be serving the professional balloon twister community by offering a bi-weekly conference call and podcast. Check it out at ballooncast.org

And finally I am very happy to offer some phenomenal new products. If you're tired of searching for gifts check out HigherHopeMarketing.com to check out some great gift albums for all budgets.

2008 will truly be a blessed year and I hope it offers many opportunities for all of us.
