Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on December 13, 2009•From Thornton, CO
This was the most amazing, original thing I could have done for my son's 5th birthday. Mark came, set up, started promptly and kept the kids completely mesmerized for an ENTIRE HOUR. At five the children still believe there is magic in the world and Marks magic talking board proved what they knew to be true. He has an adorable bit with a chimp that needs it's diapy changed, drinks from a bottle then he moves to his puppet stage and does "Jack and the Beanstalk". There is lots of audience participation. The stage has lights, sound and SMOKE! Kudus to somebody that obviously loves what they do. I am proud to support a small business of such calibre.

Mark Hellerstein is extremely talented and has perfected the art of ventriloquism. His act is engaging, clever, and intelligently executed. Participation with the audience is a heightened plus that will leave you laughing. He has a fast tempo act that keeps the audience on their feet. We thoroughly enjoyed his entire show and would readily hire him again!

Mark (Adventure in Vetriloquism) was amazing! His performance had the children (Grades K-5+) engaged as well as the parents. He truly and genuinely loves performing and you can see that in his performance. Thank you, Mark, for coming to Legacy Elementary, putting a smile on everyone’s face, giving the kids’ imaginations a boost, and being willing to answer questions. We would LOVE to have you come back!

Thank you so much for the wonderful performance. I have been a Director of Early Education for over fifteen years. Every year we are looking for fun and talented performers to share with our families and children. Mark's performance was delightful and as one of our pre-school children said... "He got all our giggles out".
Thank you!!! I look forward to utlizing your skills again. I would highly recommend not only Adventures in Ventriloquism, but Gig Masters.
Respectfully,

Mark was friendly to work with and while planning my event always responded right back to me by email and phone. He was very upbeat! He recognized my mother right away for her birthday, and got the audience involved in the performance. He was careful with his content for the audience he was performing for and a clean act. His puppets were in wonderful condition and very attractive. He was a fantastic ventriloquist, fun acts, good timing. Our audience age range was from 6 months old to 95 years old, and he seemed to entertain them all. I also thought his price was very reasonable! Last he was set up and ready to go right on time! Thanks Mark!

What an awesome performer! I had 6-yr old girls watching the show and they were all mesmerized for 45 minutes. Now, that's really good if you're tying to organize a party for 20 kids! He keeps it entertaining by changing up his acts, he does marionettes, different hand puppets, and an amazing "magic" board. There is never a dull moment. It certainly made my daughter's birthday party special and very very unique. Thanks Mark!

This was our 3rd time having Mark back for one of our girls’ birthday parties. Both the younger and older programs are amazing. Like no other in-home entertainment I have ever seen. He is truly talented, very professional, and original. Adults genuinely enjoy the shows also. His price is so reasonable. The kids absolutely love his shows.

Mark did a fantastic job at my 6-year old Aubrey's birthday party. His material was geared perfectly for the 5 and 6 year olds in attendance, and Mark is great at setting up the routine so that the kids are engaged and participating the whole time. I got so many compliments on the show from the parents at the party, and the kids really had fun.

We had my son's 6th birthday party at the studio and all the kids had a great time. The show was funny and the kids loved that they got to participate. The backdrop, lighting and sound system at the studio really enhanced the show and the kids enjoyed the puppet making afterwards.

What a fantastic show! I hired Adventures in Ventriloquism for my daughter's 5th birthday party. There were over 25 children between the ages of 3 and 6, along with another 20 or so parents. Preschool age can be a tough group to entertain and keep engaged. Mark did an amazing job of entertaining both children and the adults. Smart, witty, humorous and fun. His show had it all along with some very good educational content - a nice plus! I would highly recommend Mark Hellerstein and Adventures in Ventriloquism for your next event. A+!!

I recently hired Mark to perform at a community picnic. Mark was wonderful to work with. During each step of the way he responded quickly to questions and emails. He was very professional and accommodating to our setup and audience. We enjoyed the show very much and would recommend it to any family/kid type event. Hiring Mark was very stress-free, and if you do the same, you will have nothing to worry about, and can count on a wonderful entertaining event.

Mark arrived well ahead of schedule, set up his attractive stage efficiently, was kind and very accomodating of our requests, and did a wonderful job with the kids. The kids loved the show, and so did the teachers, principal, school board member, and newspaper reporter. He performed above and beyond my expectations, and our group felt that it was money well spent! Thanks, Mark!

Very professional, prompt, engaging with the kids. Would have liked a program more birthday party, than library performance oriented. Kids enjoyed it immensely.
