Willy Monroe

“Willy Monroe has won more awards for his balloon acts than any other artist in history”

Willy Monroe

Willy Monroe of Madrid, Spain, is known worldwide for his creativity with balloons, magic, and performance. He frequently performs at festivals, conventions, and galas. Willy uniquely  integrates elements of magic, yo-yo, mime, and juggling into his balloon acts and the results are captivating.  To enhance the audience experience, Willy, though fluent in English and Spanish, typically performs (nearly) silently, using music to focus his audience’s attention on marvels before them. “On the stage, you can transmit emotions with any prop, and balloons are one of the best because as they change shape, new ideas come to life. When you inflate a balloon, it’s a snake. If you twist, you have a guitar. But if you twist again, you have a swan. The emotions for the audience go from a snake to a swan with a lot of images in between. Now, if the performance is with the correct music, a costume, a nice smile, then the balloon magic works again!”

Here in the United States, Willy frequently performs at the Magic Castle in LA, as well as Monday Night Magic in NYC. Please contact us to bring Willy Monroe to your event as well.

All of his performances are captivating, Willy’s love for performing shows in all his routines.
