    I was doing balloons before there were single balloon animal balloons! Hanging out in Chicago I saw the creation of the single balloon animal ! The first balloons were Japanese spaghetti balloons. Then 245.! we thought 260s were a miracle. I’ve always bought but the whole balloon community ! I have a completely different way of working. It’s called customer centric. Having nearly 45 years of hospitality and festival experience. I’ve tried all the sites to separate out single balloon animals. I have a notebook over 300 single balloon animals. So at conventions when people say they have 500 balloons, give them my notebook and ask them to show us the 200 that are in there.🤣 I have a video with my technique and philosophy coming out soon from the Filipino Magic, but should be available Worldwide !
