Personally i buy from Graham, you will see that his prices are competitive but also good service and fresh balloons and most importantly you dont have to speak with him :D  :D  :D

Hi balloonies,

Thanks for those who have emailed. A few of you have asked me a question relating to your skill level and being new to twisting or never done balloons outside of your bedroom.
In answer to this,there is work for everyone at all levels.Some people are looking for fancy others balloon entertainment and some want basic balloons for 30 kids in an hour so don`t be shy and have some fun:)
Hope that clarifies your emails

Quote from: "davemacdon"I don't think he was busking. I believe the local council was paying his wages? He was smartly dressed, colourful clothes. And was worried about getting a parking ticket! He knows of colonel custard who works in and around my part of the country, and knew other balloon entertainers from Oxford.

Rapunzel looks awesome, nice work and thanks for sharing

So who was the twister??
In my opinion you can earn very well as a balloon entertainer but that depends on your hourly rate and how many gigs/hours you can get.
I would be surprised if busking can bring this revenue in Poole!!
Perhaps someone on this forum :lol: is more expert in ths area...

That's so silly....
I personally do this as my career or job(well if u call going out and having fun a job!!) so you have a smaller window of time where you can make your money.
Perhaps they misheard them and thought,like u Graham that it was 300 for the afternoon!

If I got out twisting I have two rates,one for day and hourly rate.
I offer the odd special price for last minute mid week but I think if you are a discounter
Entertainer it won't take long before you devalue your services and people will expect to pay cheaper prices.

I have to deal with these cheap entertainers in  my local area but it's not a like for like service.

Quote from: "Roger"I don't think you can get them in the UK any more.
if you find them let me know I use to use loads of them.

Hi Roger,

I have just spoken to Pioneer Uk and they have 70 pieces in stock of red sparkle ribbon.

I just emailed Graham for a price and to see if he can get them for me:)

I will PM you if Graham can help

Hiya,

does anyone know who supplies in the uk the sparkle led ribbon or something similar.

I want to light up, bling and sparkle a huge plane.

Or perhaps you have other ideas

Thanks
