Making of Jack and The Beanstalk

Who doesn't like a challenge?  Doing balloon artistry, balloon twisting, and and balloon decor across Naples and around Southwest Florida, we have been asked for a lot of amazing creations.  However, this one was truly of storybook proportions.  Recently, we were approached by a convention in the Naples/Fort Myers area that's theme was "Growing Upward".  They wanted a Balloon Super-Structure that was made with this theme in mind, and they already had an idea.  A massive Jack and the Beanstalk.  We were instantly excited as it would be a completely unique structure. After research, drawing out ideas, and planning, we decided on a Jack and the Beanstalk a full 2 and a half stories tall!

The How-to Video of America's Largest Balloon Biplane!

I have been doing balloon art and balloon twisting, as well as magic here in Naples and across Fort Myers and Bonita for over a decade.  However, this creation was one of the largest we have ever done, and it's also getting the most press with over 20 newspapers picking up the story as well as USA today.  The biplane itself was built to scale with the Sopwith Camel F-1 and used over 1500 balloons.  This was not only one of the biggest creations in Naples and Southwest Florida, but one of the largest balloon planes in the world! 

We have been asked to give a video showing how this large sculpture came together and I thought that would be a great idea.  The video shows still shots from beginning to end and also has some video clips in there so you can see just the extreme size of the creation.  You also get to see one of the scary moments of puting everything together!  We almost had a huge setback! 

It's not a bird or Superman, it's a FULL SIZE BIPLANE, made entirely of balloons!

We like to take on big project sometimes, and usually they are in the realm of balloon decor and decorations.  We have decorated for all sorts of parties from weddings to corporate events to birthday parties from Naples to Fort Myers to Indiana.  It takes a good amount of time with people wanting columns, arches, table centerpieces, and always geared for their theme.  However, we have never done a project as big as we did this past week in Fort Myers, Florida. 

World's Largest Balloon Rollercoaster

     Think you've seen balloons?  We love designing our super-sculptures around the country, but it's extra special when we get to use our balloon artistry skills here in the Naples and Fort Myers area.  Our latest creation just raised the bar and created the World's Largest Balloon Rollercoaster clocking in at 3000 balloons and over 110 man hours!  This super-sculpture was on display all week in Fort Myers, Florida.
