Anything you can do to "get" Past President Richard D. would work, too. :P

Giovanni Zoppe does this bit in his circus where he balances a bag of popcorn on his chin, then applauds (causing the popcorn to fly all over). That sort of a blowoff of "the flying popcorn brothers" might work, with whatever other precursor leading up to it. If you're ushering people in, then perhaps a sort of Bustor Keaton-esque (or maybe Jerry Lewis "Bellboy") old movie scheme could work for your characters.

Do you know Timothy Tegge?

I met him at the convention in Chicago. (Where's he's from, incidently.) Can't say I know him particularly well, however. He does have a new show, Mystification, with his wife going now.
