Balloons?!?!?...

What is our fascination with balloons? Whether it is a really great twisted sculpture or a simple air or helium filled balloon most of us can’t help but smile when seeing balloons. They always make our day just a little be brighter. Is it the vibrant colors? The cool creation? Or maybe it is the endless possibilities.

I like to think it is the fact that we know balloons are only there for a moment. We know that soon they will be gone and must be enjoyed in the moment. Balloons are a great reminder that not everything lasts forever and we should take the time to enjoy them while we have the opportunity.

Whatever the reason, Higher Hope is thrilled to offer balloon art, entertainment, and decorations for a variety of events. Whether it is a birthday party, wedding, library, school, church, bar/bat mitzvah, or a corporate event I am pleased to offer fun, elegant, and unique balloon designs.

When you think of balloon art you probably think of dogs and swords. Well friend, my goal is to change your perception of what a balloon artist can do. When it comes to twisted art I am pleased to be one of the top artists available in the entire industry. The sculptures are impressive, but so is the entertainment value. I offer games, storytelling, and even educational classes with – or without - balloon props.

Twisted Sculptures

I have been twisting balloons for the last six years and am proud to be a full time balloon artist. I make elaborate sculptures and I have even created large scale sculptures for competitions and for world record attempts. I love when parents biggest challenge of the evening is figuring out how to fit a really cool balloon sculpture into the car (don't worry just ask and I'll make cute and tiny as well).

Games

I love playing and creating party games using balloons. These games are designed for party goers of all ages. Just because you’re a parent doesn’t mean you get to sit on the sidelines!

Storytelling and Shows

For millennia storytelling has been a respected art form and in many cultures the only real way truth was passed down. I am very proud to call myself a balloon storyteller. I take traditional storytelling and give it a little “twist.” By creating props and costumes out of balloons I give a whole new visual realm to the world my stories create. Using stories I have created shows about cultures, secret agents, Christmas, history, science, and I continuously work on creating new stories. These shows are great for libraries, schools, daycares, and even birthday parties. Are you covering a specific topic? We can discuss ways I can tailor my show to blend into your theme.

Balloon Twisting Classes

I have this crazy notion that every child should know how to twist basic balloon animals. Just as every child colors, paints, or draws they should experience the wonderful art of balloons. Your club, group, class, or party can learn the basics of balloon twisting in a 90 minute class. You’ll learn five basic balloon creations: dog, sword, giraffe, bear, and swan. Have fun creating these marvelous balloons for all your children, friends, and family. Also great for mission teams needing to break the language barrier. Balloons, like love, cross all challenges.

Educational Art Classes

If you have not yet noticed I have a passion for things balloon related. I mentioned earlier about my storytelling shows for schools and other events. One possible option is not to bring the balloons at all. I am also a trained speaker working with programs like Toastmasters to bring my audiences fun and entertaining speeches. While I give motivational speeches and sermons (I’m a licensed Baptist minister as well) across the country I also give speeches about balloons and my business. This is a really good option for career fairs and days at schools as well as at nursing homes. The young and old have a fascination with balloons and find it really interesting how a person like me makes a living playing with balloons.

Balloon Decorations

Not only does Higher Hope entertain and twist with balloons, but I am also a proud balloon decorator. You may only think of balloon decor as arches and columns, but because of my skill with balloon animals and twisted sculptures I able to combine what many consider two separate art forms to create elaborate designs to making any event fun, elegant, beautiful, and unique.

Community Involvement in Lewisville, TX - North Dallas Balloon Artist

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 21 Jun 2013 21:37:00 +0000

Lately I've been working on becoming more involved in the community in Lewisville and around the DFW metroplex. As an entertainer I get asked all the time to donate services. I love doing so, but it is almost always at peak times when I must be performing elsewhere. I admit that it got a bit frustrating having to turn so many people down. Well I'm attempting to change that and start working closely with the Lewisville Chamber of Commerce on some ideas and plans to assist others in my community using my talents.

One way is that tomorrow afternoon I'll be at the Wal-Mart in Highland Village tomorrow for their vendor fair. I don't think I'll be doing individual sculptures but I will probably be doing some balloon shows from time to time as I meet folks in the community. The event runs from 12-4 and proceeds go to the Children's Miracle Network. If you come out please stop by and say hello!

A New Family Night Performance

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 17:39:00 +0000

For the last few months the Freebirds World Burritos in Lewisville, TX has enjoyed having me in on the third Tuesday of the month (that is tomorrow night) for their family night when kids eat free.

Well since Freebirds is one of my favorite places to eat and the customers enjoy it so I've expanded to the Freebirds in Denton, TX as well. I'll be going from table to table making large balloon costumes and balloon animals for kids and adults. So come on by and give me something creative. If I can't make it the first time I'll study it and learn how to make it the second.

Just remember. No cats allowed! :)

Hope to see you tonight!

Aren't crazy balloon hats fun? Come get yours!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 08:42:00 +0000

Today people from the internet all over the world gathered together for Global Reddit Meetup Day. For some reason Dallas didn't have one, but my friends in Denton did. We had a blast at the picnic and then a few games at a friends house. The r/Denton people are really great fun and everyone is super friendly. I enjoy these guys because it is such a wide variety of people with different thought processes but we are brought together by our own geekiness.

Anyway, I didn't really make balloons for the event but I did create a balloon crown for Kaitlin who was kind enough to organize the event.

Geek of a Week Balloon Art

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 23:55:00 +0000

The last few weeks have been really busy. I've spent more time away from home than I have in years.

A couple of the reasons are that I was able to attend a couple of conventions I've been looking forward to for a while.

The first was Dallas Comic-Con. This was a lot of fun. Each day I wore a different Marvel Avengers (Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, and Captain America) superhero balloon costume.

I even won Honorable Mention in the costume contest for my The Inflatable Hulk costume.

Dallas Comic-Con was a blast and I even made some great new friends. I love hanging with nerds and geeks especially the creative types.

Two weeks after Comic-Con I attended A-Kon 24. That is the second largest and longest running anime convention in America. I'm not really into anime, but I do appreciate the art and many attendees have

similar interests like being big Doctor Who fans (or Whovians).

There were actually a lot more cosplayers at A-Kon that at Comic-Con. I create several different sculptures for costumes. The Bronies loved me because I made a ride-in Rainbow Dash from My Little Ponies.

I also created a rocket launcher for a girl cosplaying Soldier from Team Fortress 2 (TF2).

And finally I ended A-Kon by making a Yoda balloon from Star Wars for a friend to take home to their son.

He even had his own lightsaber.

It really was a fun month. I can't believe how blessed I am to do what I love. I can't wait for the next opportunity.

If you weed a balloon artist or decorator for your next event then please be sure to give me a call.

I won Honorable Mention at Dallas Comic-Con

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 20 May 2013 22:27:00 +0000

I had a great time at Dallas Comic-Con this weekend. I went as three different Avengers superheroes from the Marvel Universe. I had Thor, The Inflatable Hulk, and Captain America Balloon Costumes.

On Saturday I entered the comic con costume contest as "The Inflatable Hulk" (a play on The Incredible Hulk). I was so surprised by the audience reaction and I had a blast. I won the Honorable Mention prize, but since there wasn't a second or third place prize I'll just claim second place. :)

A really cool custom Dalek from Doctor Who won the contest. It really deserved that win. It was incredible.

The whole convention was amazing and I can't wait for A-kon in two weeks and WhoFest in November.

I really love what I do and when I can do it geeky then it is even better.

If you want a fun balloon costume, geek balloon decor, or event entertainment then give me a call at 314-346-2241.

Catholic Balloon Rosary - DFW Balloon Decorations

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 02 May 2013 18:55:00 +0000

I created another first yesterday. I was asked by a son to create a large Catholic rosary to be released in honor of the one year anniversary of his mother's passing.

I've always said good balloon sculptures should be emotional. They don't just need to be happy or silly, but they can bring about something deeper as well.

Religious symbolism is important to so many people and expresses their relationships, not only with God, but with one another as well.

Whatever you're looking to celebrate or honor give Higher Hope Balloons a call and I look forward to creating the perfect idea for you.

Imagine a World Without Balloons

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 21:32:00 +0000

A democrat from Georgia recently gave speech on the floor of Congress about why the government needs to end the sequester's effects on helium. He stated "Imagine a world without balloons" and went on to talk about how sad it would be if we didn't have balloons for children's birthday parties.

Well, for those of you that are concerned I want to give you a bit of hope. While many balloon artist do work primarily with helium, some of us that been at work diligently creating other fantastic balloon decoration designs that are stand alone. We certainly would love to have every resource available it is my belief that with a little effort we can overcome anything, including a helium shortage.

So if you're looking for exciting and creative balloon decor please make sure to give me a call at 314-346-2241.

Superhero Birthday Party!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 01:11:00 +0000

I received a call yesterday and it kinda got me excited! The lady called to book me for her son's super hero birthday party. Now, I do a lot of different themed parties. I've done clowns, Elmo, circus, SpongeBob, Dora the Explorer, Princess, Cowboy, Pirate, and a ton of other themed parties, but it has been years since I've gotten to do a super hero party.

The best part is that the kid is a big Superman fan. I'm a total geek and I can't wait for the new "Man of Steel" movie to come out. I've been reading comics for 20 years now and yes, you are allowed to mock my nerdiness. So I'm busy working on some balloon designs. Here are some I've used in the past:

As you can I tried to represent the DC Comics and Marvel Universe. I'm a big Avengers fan as well. I can't wait for this party!

Whatever your birthday party theme give me a call and I guarantee I will come up with some awesome creations just for you!

Daycare shows

noreply@blogger.com (Jason Vaughn) — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 23:06:00 +0000

To child care providers,

One of the most important things to all of us are our children. Therefore you who have a great honor of caring for precious little one should be honored.

I am also honored to have worked with many of you in caring, teaching, and entertaining these children.

But for those of you that do not know me let me introduce myself. My name is Jason Vaughn and I'm a professional balloon artist entertainer.

I have entertained in many daycares around the country and seen thousands of kids. So if you're looking for great entertainment for your facility please consider Higher Hope Entertainment.

I have several different shows that I offer. In these shows I will take balloons and create props and costumes with them to tell fun and exciting stories.

Classic Story and Song Show

For this show I combine classic fairy tales and children's music. Whether it be the itsy bitsy spider or the three little pigs your kids will have a great time. The show is very interactive and parents would enjoy visiting for this as well.

Reading Show

For this show I take stories from around the world that teach us about the culture. The show is also geared toward teaching children to enjoy books and reading. This interactive show is like a thrilling adventure for all ages.

Learn to Twist

One other option is to have a class in which your children five and up learn how to make their own balloon animals. They will learn how to make a balloon dog and a balloon sword. This will take your kids into a whole new world of artistic endeavors.

Birthday Parties!

noreply@blogger.com (Jason Vaughn) — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 22:49:00 +0000

So you're trying to decide on what kind of entertainer to have for your child's next birthday party. The choices are outrageous. Do you go with a clown, magician, facepainter, or God forbid a mime?

Well may I recommend something you haven't considered? A Balloon Entertainer?

No, I don't mean someone that makes dogs and swords. I mean someone who creates elaborate sculptures, masks, and costumes out of balloons. Someone who not only creates balloons, but also creates. And most importantly someone who not only creates balloons, but also creates memories that you, the birthday child, and all the party's guest will always remember.

Higher Hope also offers stage shows based on classic stories, secret agents, cultures around the world, or holiday stories. Your guests will laugh and possibly learn through these interactive presentations.

So visit the websites above and book your party today.

Sincerely and twistedly,

Jason Vaughn,

Balloon Artist, Dallas / Fort Worth

Giant Birthday Party Cake! - By Steve Jones

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 03:51:00 +0000

He also built an amazing Angry Birds Balloon Game!

You should go to his facebook page and "like" it to see it in action!

I've learned a ton from Steve over the years and loved being a part of the FLOAT Convention staff which Steve organizes. I can't wait for it to come to St. Louis next January!

I'm so excited! I just finished an amazing day at T-Jam on the Road here in St. Louis. The amazing Guido Verhoef taught and he is truly a genius.

The folks at T Myers Magic did an amazing job organizing and hosting this class and Betallic was so gracious to sponsor it.

I learned so much and I can't wait to take it to my clients.

Oh yea, I also won 2nd place in the sculpture competition and that is pretty exciting as well!

The Unpoppables on TLC

noreply@blogger.com (Jason Vaughn) — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 01:13:00 +0000

Recognition for all the balloon artist community's hard work is starting to pay off! Part of that recognition is coming in the form of a brand new television show called "The Unpoppables" featuring three amazing balloon twisters.

The leader of this group seems to be Addi Somekh who is best known for traveling the world creating balloon hats and documenting his work. Next up is Brian Asman a great guy all around and creator of some of my favorite techniques. Then rounding off the team is the lovely Katie Laibstain a bundle of energy who I think hugs everyone she meets.

I've had the privilege or meeting Katie and spent a week in Jersey with Brian, but I've yet to meet Addi though I've respected his work for years.

The make-up of the show seems to be similar to another favorite show of mine on TLC, Cake Boss. It looks like the team will be followed around as they're hired for one or two events to create large and exquisite balloon art.

I'm really hopeful the show does well and that it gets people thinking of what can really be done with balloons. I can't say I can do everything the same way as these three, but with practice I can definitely service my customer's needs.

So go check out "The Unpoppables" here. And be sure to watch the premiere on TLC on Monday February 7 at 8 PM EST.

And if you're looking for balloon art whether small or large give me a call now to discuss your ideas and events.

How To Make your Children's Church Event Unforgettable With a Fun, Unique, Gospel-Centered Performance

noreply@blogger.com (Jason Vaughn) — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 23:46:00 +0000

"How To Make your Children's Church Event Unforgettable With a Fun, Unique, Gospel-Centered Performance"

Eight years ago while on a mission trip with my Christian college I was introduced to the art of balloon twisting combined with Bible storytelling. Immediately I was entranced by this entertainment medium and before I knew it I was a professional balloon artist. Since that time I've had the privilege of performing hundreds of shows to both Christian and secular audiences using balloon costumes and props.

I've delivered many messages over the years in my show, but none are as important as the gospel of Jesus Christ, which I gladly present in “The Prince That No One Wanted.” This show is perfect for family events, VBS, Upwards, and a host of other venues. Thank you for taking the time to see why it is perfect for your event.

No Mindless Entertainment Here!

Everyone loves entertainment! Whether it is in the form of movies, television, books, concerts, ect. we are addicted to fun. While that is fine one things Christians should avoid is an excess of mindless entertainment.

For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. (Rom 8:7-8)

God's Word tells us to avoid setting our mind on the things of the flesh and much of our entertainment is very worldly, but with my gospel allegory your audience's mind will be engages just as much as their funny-bone.

Loads of laughs and joy

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. (Jud 1:24-25)

In the presence of our king there is immense joy! Joy is so precious to the Christian. It is not based in our circumstances, but in our King! That is why I love performing “The Prince that No One Wanted” gospel allegory. It allows me to combine both laughter due to humor with the joy that comes from the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Sound Historical Christian Theology

But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. (Tit 2:1)

There are many places calling themselves churches today that do anything but teach the Word of God. When your audience sees and understands “The Prince that No One Wanted” they will be taught only that which stands in line with historical Christian doctrine. I'm a licensed Southern Baptist minister and trained in ministry at a Southern Baptist university. While I've had the opportunity to work in numerous denominations the primary message and doctrine remains that salvation of sins only comes by repentance and faith in Jesus Christ the second person of the Godhead, who was born of a virgin, is fully God and man, lived a perfect life, died on a cross taking the sins of His people and rose again three days later to reign as King eternal. For more on my teaching and theology please do not hesitate to ask.

Creativity To Spark The Imagination

As the Temple of God was being built in the Old Testament the readers are told that God had gifted certain artists to work for His glory on the Temple. I believe that God still grants people gifts and talents to people for the same purpose of glorifying Him today.

As your audience sees elaborate balloon creations made into props and costumes and used in the sharing of the gospel many will be inspired to develop their own talents to the glory of God and the expansion of His kingdom.

No “Cartoon Jesus” Allowed

Many dear saints with good intentions have used a variety of modern media to create cartoon or “Child friendly” versions of Jesus. While this may do some good I fear that it can often do more harm and make many wonder if Jesus is any more real than certain overweight men in red suits.

For this reason, instead of telling about the life of Christ with balloons and possibly adding to the challenge, I decided to go the way of John Bunyan and his classic “Pilgrim's Progress” and share the gospel in an allegory. This allows your audience to hear the the glory of the gospel message without fear of confusing Christ with fiction. After the allegory there is an explanation and gospel call to repentance and faith. A time of question and answer is available if desired as well.

Book “The Prince That No One Wanted” Balloon Show Today!

If this is something that your group needs to hear then please pick up the phone and call now! (314) 346-2241

Well the time has come. It has been one week since I filmed the segment for Show Me St. Louis on KSDK

And if you book before Valentine's you get 25% all premium twister bookings no matter what!

St. Louis Children's Entertainer Risks Business to Save His Life

St. Louis Children's Entertainer Risks Business to Save His Life

Fenton, MO January 7, 2010 – Local balloon twister and entertainer, Jason Vaughn of Higher Hope Balloons, has decided to put his entire business on the line to save his own life. The overweight artist, who last weighed in at 330 pounds, is offering every customer that books his Balloon Story Show on or before Valentine's Day the show absolutely free if he fails to weigh in below 300 pounds by June 1, 2010.

“I've always been a big guy, but I think it is time to take drastic actions. I can't afford a gym or trainer to motivate me, but I can create a great deal of pressure on myself. I'm losing something this year and it'll be weight or money. I'm striving for weight,” said Vaughn.

The decision came to him one night while watching Biggest Loser. He realized that beyond health a great motivator for the contestants was cash prizes. Even though Vaughn had auditioned he was not accepted on the show, but he realized he could create his own prize.

“After years of thinking about it I think it is time to put my money where my gut is,” said Vaughn.

As a balloon artist and story teller much of his income is from shows at libraries, child care facilities, churches and schools so this really is a big risk if he fails to lose the weight.

After word spread about this crazy marketing campaign the balloon twister even had a local gym, Anytime Fitness of Fenton, come along side him to support his efforts.

Vaughn plans to keep his customers and fans updated on his progress on his facbook page, http://facebook.com/HigherHopeBalloons, and noted that while expects most of his customers to wish him success, he wouldn't be surprised if a few sent a few cookie care packages either.

I'm very grateful for this wonderful referral from my friend at Chick-Fil-A in St. Louis, MO. I truly love owrking for great restaurants such as Chick-Fil-A.

Jason Vaughn of Higher Hope Balloons participated in several of our Chick-fil-A at West County Center Family Night events. He made extravagant and interesting balloon art for children of all ages. He was great with the children and always came up with unique ideas for balloons. We enjoyed having him as part of our Family Night programs and would be happy to recommend his services.

Thank you,

I received this great letter and permission to share it from Jennifer over at Gateway. I'm always so pleased to hear that my clients are happy and had a great time.

Dear Jason:

Thank you so much for the outstanding job you did at our 2010 Children’s Holiday Party.

Everyone enjoyed the balloons and had a great time. I truly appreciate you accommodating all of the children’s requests for different balloons. I don’t think there were any requests that went unfulfilled.

I would certainly recommend you to anyone asking and hope to use your services again in the future. I received many compliments regarding your service and have distributed your business cards out amongst the employees here.

Again, thank you for helping to make our Holiday Party a success.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Robbins
