“What I see behind me is astonishing, it is art and it is fun!”

Thank you Bruce Carr No Ordinary Balloon Man for being great company at HolMat, and for making an amazing balloon sword for Terra. The resemblance to the original game art for it is uncanny!

“I voiced Haku in Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away and I’ve never seen anything quite as magical as this in front of me! Here’s Haku, here’s my character in his awesome dragon form and he’s beautiful! I think Mr. Miyazaki himself would really proud to see his creation like this!”

Michael Rooker, Actor (Yondu-Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 and Vol, 2 and Merle Dixon-Walking Dead)

“This is Yondu-This is a better portral of what I did in the movie, thank you very much!”

"If magic emerges from creating moments of color, wit and happiness, Bruce Carr is truly a magician. Witnessing his dexterity as he creates his extraordinary works of art, along with his kind nature and signature charm, is always a delightful experience."

“If you see these reducliously awesome creations, Bruce Carr is our balloon guy and he made these!”

“The amazing Bruce Carr, balloon artist extraordinaire!”

“Bruce’s ability to make balloons is absolutely astounding! I’ve heard nothing but good things from our attendees being like “OMG we’ve gotta see this balloon guy!” I’ve been seeing them [the balloons] all over the con and they hold up for the entire weekend too! He does amazing work and we’d love to have him back again!”

“I feel so lucky becauseI got to meet Bruce today who does these amazing-look at this balloon art! [Shouts] Sabertooth Tiger Griffin Thunderzord Power!”

“Dear Bruce,
Thank you for your participation at the Grand Brony Gala, August 15-17, 2014. Your participation in the events and creation of the centerpieces for the Gala contributed greatly to the success of the convention. The life-sized pony princesses you created were extraordinary, with so much detail and care put into each creation. Our special guests also greatly appreciated the additional two creations you made of the cartoon characters which they voice.
We certainly hope you will return again next year.”

"I met Mr. Carr randomly one day and he shared his craft with me and I was blown away. However, when I got to see it in person, it is entirely different than seeing it in pictures. I got to attend Con-fuzion 2018 and see his artistry in person when he made a 10ft tall Gimli the Dwarf. It blew my mind and seeing everyone's reactions to it was awesome, including Mr. John Rhys-Davies who played the dwarf in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I truly remember that day and it will stick with me forever. Thank you for sharing your love in balloon form, Bruce and I can't wait till I see your work in person again."

-Emmanuel M.

“He was very life changing to meet for many of students also for the parents and many of the educators.”

“Bruce is an extremely talented artist. I mean just look at the incredible mash-up he created for two of my cartoon characters, MEGAMAN + SILVER SHILL (My Little Pony). Hire him, he’s amazing!”

When I was at the Grand Brony Gala this month I had the pleasure of seeing No Ordinary Balloon Man in action! Not only in designing this amazing display but as he made balloon creations for con goers and children alike.

“(translated with the help of an interpreter) This is really, really amazing, this is the first time I’ve ever seen balloon art this big before! I was actually surprised that it was THIS big!”

“OMG, it’s incredible, its huge! And the detail that is put into it is phenominal, this is great!”

We hired No Ordinary Balloon Man for my Daughters 17th birthday party (she’s been a fan of him for years and years from seeing him at conventions) and he was so easy to book with, he was so amazing, very entertaining, the kids absolutely loved him and definitely worth hiring! We loved every second of having you at her birthday party!

My kids and I met Bruce at a small Con in Montgomery Al and they both decided they wanted some of his art. We enjoyed his interactions with every guest and thought he was amazing. We were probably 5 or sixth in line when he stopped approached me as I was talking to my son , who the crowds were making a little nervous. Bruce recognized my son as being on the Autism spectrum and made a point to come and speak with us to help ease his tension. We think the world of him for that.

Bruce worked the kids tent at our Stroll and Roll fundraiser and was amazing! He was kind and endlessly patient with the kids. He is not just a wonderful balloon artist but a great person. He spreads joy wherever he goes, and it was a pleasure to work with him.

“I’m pleased to say that we had the honor of having Bruce Carr the Ultimate Balloon Man come out and his line lasted for over 3 hours! But there was not one complaint from any family because they were so excited for getting the incredible balloon that was made from him. And all I can say is, if you’re doing an event, he’s the man for your event!”

I saw this dude at ColossalconEast 2019 and he's awesome! I got a balloon version of @c0d3_protogen from him. I think his creations are awesome, unique and adorable!

He’s one of the nicest guys you’ll meet at a con. He’ll definitely put a smile on your face…and that’s even before he starts to work on your requested balloon creations!

“A Balloon Artist Beyond Compare!”

Drew Garabo, Host of 102.5 The Bone

Laughter and smiles filled my classroom when Bruce Carr delighted my 18 students with a visit. His name rings true in that Mr. Carr is No Ordinary Balloon Man, thrilling children, not just with his unique balloon art, but with his singing, dancing, and actively involving every child, making each one feel special. Whether he is constructing balloon animals blindfolded, or making impressions of beloved characters such as Mickey Mouse and SpongeBob, children won’t take their eyes off of Bruce while he performs. I highly recommend, Bruce Carr, for any event where laughter and fun is your goal. He is an extraordinary, magical performer that will enchant people of all ages.

“When I first heard about Bruce, I was basically thinking ‘yeah, okay, I’ve seen balloon art before, what’s the big deal?’ Then I saw what he did, and I was just gobsmacked, just totally amazed. This was a strange and wonderful kind of entertainment far and above so many other things I’d seen. In fact, this happened at a pop-culture convention full of all sorts of wondrous distractions, but Bruce’s Balloon creations were far and away the greatest entertainment on hand. Absolutely stunning!”

– Chris Patton, Voice Actor (Full Metal Alchemist-Greed)

“it was a great pleasure having Bruce at our conference in Orlando Florida earlier this year. He was there at the request of one of the vendors at the show, and I believe provided a great value for the vendor, and entertainment to the attendees of the conference.”

– Chris Hammond, Director of Training, DotNetNuke Corporation

I have had the joy of working with Bruce for the past couple of years and I can say that he is a joy to work with. Bruce is not only great with kids and having fun, but he is a genuinely great person with a good heart. He is an excellent entertainer and has all the qualities to make your next event a blast.

– Johnathon Gerber, Twisted Artz LLC

“At first, I didn’t see Bruce at the show, I just started seeing these balloon items start appearing on and around people at the convention. Within a few hours you could see them in any crowd and people were all talking about them! When I met him, he made a balloon hat for the logo of our company that we wore the rest of the day! I would recommend adding him to any convention or tradeshow booth to get that attention!”

– Ryan Moore, Moore Creative Company

Chili’s Kissimmee is fortunate enough to have balloon artists from Twisted Arts entertain our guests on a daily basis. Through this relationship we have been introduced to Bruce. He is one of the best I have seen! Our guests give him praise on a regular basis and he makes it a pleasure each and every time he is here! I have written Twisted Arts about Bruce on several occasions due to his above and Beyond attitude! It is rare to find someone who truly loves their job and does it incredibly well, Bruce is that person! He is a true joy with tremendous talent!

– Tina Gaby- Managing Partner, Chili’s Kissimmee, Florida

Upon meeting Bruce, I immediately appreciated his delightful personality. He is very comfortable conversing and has mastered superb eye contact. He reflects an incredible level of motivation and eagerness as he interacts. He welcomes opportunity and contributes all of himself to the challenge. Parents enjoy his cheerful personality and the kids would prefer to follow him around the restaurant. Bruce has a gift of customer service. Bruce would be a tremendous asset to any company requiring interaction with people/ customers.
