BRIAN POTVIN IS THE BALLUSIONIST
A former MMA fighter and theater major, Brian Potvin has taken his creativity and determination to new levels with the help of balloons. As the Ballusionist, Brian now performs on TV, at posh parties, art events and corporate celebrations creating unbelievable works of balloon sculpture.
In 2003, divided by his passions, Brian began working as a clown at parties to help pay the bills. He immediately saw the opportunity that was ignored by his competitors. As a clown, he had the chance to reinvent himself constantly, to create, to work with people and to expand his knowledge of the arts; all while having a blast. In a few years, he found that he could create anything he wanted with balloons. He also found his voice in creating the balloons — making jokes, amping up the party and creating a whirlwind of wonder.
The makeup came off and he started spending hours twisting latex to make the things he loved, like movie and comic characters, as well as anything he could imagine. Since then, he’s had the chance to share his balloon creations on TV shows around the world with hundreds of celebrities including Gwen Stefani, Dean Kane, Sascha Baron Cohen and David Arquett.
Blanca Mendoza is a CBA. She loves creating quality, unique & spectacular custom designs for all types of events. She has been in the balloon industry for over 20 years. Her company, LA Balloon Events is base in Los Angeles, CA. Her creativity begins from a simple vision to making it a reality using different colors, shapes and sizes to create a wow factor in every event. She is excited to return to the Bling Bling Jam
Teaching for the first time at the Bling Bling Jam 2023! Balloon Josh is an award winning balloon artist from Houston, TX. He has been twisting balloons for over 31 years, and is best known for his quick, creative line work, his fast balloon dresses, and his viral TikTok videos.
Chilean self-taught twister with 22 years of experience in the world of balloons, he started as a street artist, then in the hotel industry he worked as an entertainer and clown, he has been invited to teach in Paraguay, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Nicaragua and Colombia, country invited by the company Sempertex. I think my main joy is working to entertain children, it is a challenge to meet their expectations, but they are the most impressed and of course grateful when I model figures for them.

Mysterious, hauntingly original, and completely innovative- these words best describe the Gothic Magic of Vlad. While some magicians create a show, Vlad created a genre of magic. This charmingly dark and slightly twisted style known as Gothic Magic stems from the heart of the classic horror genre. Combining this style with amazing stories, Vlad creates a performance that’s like “watching Stephen King live”. Take a step inside and give into your fears. Vlad has been entertaining audiences for over 30 yrs.
