Hi, my name is Ed Popielarczyk. I am a comedy magician and balloon sculptor. What started out as hobby many years ago turned into my profession. I have been performing for over twenty five years!

Ed Popielarczyk is a professional magician, balloon twister, entertainer. Ed takes a lot of pride in bringing smiles to his friend's faces. Whether he is performing a magic show or making a balloon creation, he is entertaining. The magic in what he does is not making a big duck riding a motorcycle out of balloons or fooling someone during a magic show, but the laughter that it brings. That is the TRUE MAGIC!!

Ed's Philosophy

Ed's philosophy on performing magic is to entertain first and to amaze second. As long as everyone is laughing and having a great time he has met his goal and yours!

From Balloons...

Ed's Balloon sculpting has been the hit of many events. His amazing balloon sculptures and his special way of interacting with each child (and adult!) make it a special experience.

...And Workshops...

Ed also teaches balloon sculpting workshops for kids. Balloon safety, the different balloons that can be used, how to tie a knot in the balloon, and how to make assorted balloon animals. For repeat participants Ed teaches more advanced sculptures such as airplanes, hats, flowers, and much, much MORE!!!

...To Magic

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION is a MUST in my show because the kids help to make the magic happen! I get everyone involved by wiggling fingers, making magical waves with their hands, or yelling magic words.

...and Teaching.

I also teach magic workshops for kids. In my magic workshop EVERYONE RECEIVES A MAGIC WAND, DIPLOMA, and MAGIC TRICKS to take home. We talk about presentation as well as the mechanics of each trick. My magic workshops are for first graders - teenagers.
