The show is strictly for kids, and those who are "still kids at heart," magical balloon artists Windy and Sunny declare and they discover repeatedly that there's an ample supply of kids hidden inside grownup bodies.

Even more than being free of what Windy calls "the nine to five routine," the two performers may also find international fame in the Guiness Book of World Records. Windy believes he's the fastest animal balloon artist in the world.

During a show in Jacksonville on May 31, 1975, he set what he believes to be three world records in making balloon animals. He took just four seconds to create one, and continued to make 311 in one hour, and then 1,100 in four hours. Those feats, Windy believes, should put his name in artist, the person to make the most animals in an hour and the, person, to make the most in four hours. "Of course, we're trying to get people to challenge those records now," he says with a nonchalant shrug.
