Mr Shaballoons makes kids happy with his balloon creations


A row of balloon princesses, the work of Shahfri Muhamad Yusoff a.k.a. Mr Shaballoons.

It all started with a birthday party. Shahfri Muhamad Yusoff, a Malaysian living in Australia, had a housemate who had worked as a clown and street performer back in Malaysia.

One day, there was a birthday party at their house. His friend asked Shahfri for some help with the decorations, and ended up teaching him a little about balloon twisting, or the art of making balloons into amusing shapes for entertainment.
