After the show, many groups tried to do this on their own.

Great crowd helps make a great show

Spectacular energy; enjoyable, fun, supportive group.

After doing hundreds of shows, you start to get a feel for audiences. Anytime that a group of people get together, there is an energy specific to that group. Sometimes a group can be relaxed and fun, others can be uptight and challenging. Some audiences are nice to each other and support one other. They enjoy watching anyone on stage. The opposite is an audience that is negative and will sabotage each other to get up on stage.

As an entertainer, you have to understand your audience and be able to adapt accordingly. It is a subtle dance that a performer must do with the audience.

We had a great show last night and it is a thrill to perform when electricity is in the air.

We will go to all ends of the earth to gather interesting items for our show. Here we are in Paradox. We picked up some conundrums, mysteries, and mental illusions.

I was bartering for some interesting mental ambiguities. The shop owner was a clever fox and was not going to let these mind benders go cheap. I believe we picked up some very fascinating items that you will enjoy in our upcoming shows. Ohh, and Katalina picked up a jar of garlic pickles.

Entertainment Trade Show Style

Friday, April 10th, 2009

Katalina and I have performed at many trade shows where the focus of the job is to drive traffic to the booth, entertain them, and then hand them off to a motivated company representative. This experience came in very handy for this show.

We were scheduled to perform our 75 minute stage Mind Tripping Show, but the event coordinator had to change the entire style of the event, due to unforeseen circumstances. Because of the dynamic environment we had to switch gears and perform “trade show style”.

Drawing on our trade show experience, we were able to bring crowds to our booth and create a carnival atmosphere. The event coordinator was thankful that we were able to adapt so readily to the situation. She marveled at the amount of people that were constantly congregated around our booth.

The advantage of trade show style is that it allows for many people to participate in the entertainment. Even if they only have 10 minutes, they can enjoy some fun, freaky Mind Tripping and then continue on with the rest of their schedule.

It worked out very well. The crowd loved it, the director loved it, and we had a blast.

UMES

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

Earlier this week we performed at UMES, an Historically Black College and University or HBCU.

We have performed at many HBCU’s and always have a blast.

The crowd was loud and everyone wanted to get on stage, but at the same time, the students were very emotive, interactive, and fully engaged in the show.
