Morphology

ballooner = balloon (semi-transparent) = balloon + er

The word is formed transparently from 'balloon' + '-er', but the entertainer sense is a specialized occupational meaning rather than the most literal one.

Etymology

Ballooner comes from balloon meaning 'large ball' and the ending -er meaning 'a person who does something', so a ballooner can be the entertainer who inflates and twists balloons into dogs and hats — someone who makes fun shapes from air-filled 'balls'.
