Other Shows & Acts

Ben Ulin Productions can arrange entertainment from other great entertainers based in Des Moines, Iowa.

Terry the Magic Guy
A great act for company picnics, church events, school shows, and birthday parties. Terry puts on an interactive show that makes stars of your audience. Ask about Terry the Magic Guy's stand-up magic show, strolling act, or balloon animal show.

Jonathan May
Jonathan, aka Mr. Magic, has been performing a magic act since age 5! He has a dynamic and infectious personality, perfect for strolling close-up magic and family oriented stage shows. He's currently working on a clean comedy act as well.

Clowns: Sparkle and Lollipop
Central Iowa's favorite clowns. This duo is perfect for birthday parties and other children's events. They'll have you 'rolling in the aisles' with their clownish magic, juggling, interactive songs, and good old fashion fun. They do not wear full white face make-up (which can be scary to some younger children), their costumes are wonderful, and their dynamic and positive personalities puts a smile on the face of everyone they meet. Ask about their 30 minute stand-up show or their strolling act.
