Welcome to Season 6 chapter 117 of the Kids Entertainer Hub! Mark Fuller from Texas is our guest in this spectacular show. Today we talked about Mark’s journey and how he transitioned from being a full-time bus driver to a full-time kids entertainer.

Here are some of the important notes from this episode:

Mark Fuller is a 60 year old kids entertainer, balloon twister from Texas. – Mark started 25 years ago as a volunteer for his Church ministry to raise money
– He did that for 15 years but it was on and off and then he moved to a different place
– About 10 yrs ago he moved to Texas and decided to go in deeply into balloons
– While he was doing balloons he was also a bus driver
– He loves being around kids and loves teaching them
– In November 2018, his son Sam Fuller told him about the Balloon Artists Podcast and it opened a whole new world to him
– Back in April something happened that made him go full-time on being an entertainer
– He started doing balloon storytelling even in linework
– Now that he’s no longer driving the bus, he’s got time to practice and focus on the things for stuff like marketing
– Since he went full time, he feels healthier, more organized, well rested and lost weight
– Mark is now looking forward to going to his first convention
– “Magic like balloons… if you don’t practice you don’t get it down real quick and smooth” – Mark
