Twist Entertainers is a New York City based entertainment company providing some of the best balloon artists in NYC to events and venues such as birthdays, festivals, carnivals, fairs, school functions, restaurants, corporate events, weddings, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, and more! Founder and Director Rami Shafi has been twisting balloons for over 10 years after learning the skill at 17 in order to twist for his little sister's birthday party.
In 2013 he moved to New York with only $50 in his pocket and began twisting balloons for tips in Times Square every day until he saved up enough to get off his friend's couch and move in to his own place. Two years later, Twist Entertainers was born and since then Rami has trained a team of fellow actors and performers how to twist balloons and bring a simple yet memorable joy into people's lives.

Excellent! My company hired Twist for employee event and everyone had so much fun. It was totally unexpected and a unique fun addition to the party. First of all, they must be the most artistic and sophisticated balloon artists out there - I just have not seen work like this. So yeah their balloon m creations are works of art - but even more importantly - they were super personable and entertaining and were a draw on their own. It really jazzed up the party and brought out everyone’s inner child. The founder Rami Shafi is a really warm person and he put everyone at ease - and he was a pleasure

I recently hired Twist Entertainers for my birthday/holiday party, which was a mix of adults and some of their kids.
Rami was absolutely awesome— easy interaction with both the adults and kids, great personality and amazingly talented in balloon twisting- his fast fingers created a balloon shape for every guest at my party, they all loved him!!
Rami was professional, on time, charged a very reasonable rate, and is a very charming guy to boot. I would highly recommend him and Twist for any party, kids or adults. Five stars!!!!
