     Hello.  My real name is Tony Hendren and I live in Aumsville, Oregon with my wife of 28 years. I began twisting balloons solely as a ministry, but when the company I worked for closed it's doors, I also began to entertain for financial reasons.  I still love to twist for ministry and other charities and I also perform a gospel magic show with another brother in my church. 

     I started twisting when I met my friend Joshua Bichler 

( aka. Twisty The Great ).  He bumped into my sister-in-laws car and came over to confess his blunder.  As we talked he mentioned that he was a magician and a balloon twister.  I was amazed because I had been kicking the idea of magic around in my head for quite a while as a potential ministry.  I told him I was wanting to learn that stuff, and he said he needed a sound guy.  The deal was made.  He gave me a great DVD by Keith Coast on balloon twisting and I've been addicted ever since.

     I would like to thank all of the twisters out there that have taught me so many techniques and cool designs.  Thanks to Twisty, Keith Coast, Holly George -The Twister Sister, Michael Floyd, Mr.Fudge, Mr. Boma, Unicaw, and many more.

     Also special thanks to my wife and daughters who have been so supportive.  But most of all, thanks to Jesus for leading me into this wonderful ministry and art.
