[Jolly Well]

The weekend of December 21, I'm going to be stiltwalking (as Abe Lincoln) for the promotion of National Treasure. Struggling with walk-around ideas as the atmosphere will change thoughout the evening.

During the earlier shows, I'm planning on doing some quick balloons and/or magic - as there will likely be a younger audience around then. Later te crowds get more adult - plus - some local historical groups may be coming as well (sons & daughters of confederacy, and their union counterparts, etc). So... I want to be respectful, as some of them take their outtings really seriously; but still be entertaining and give theater patrons their money's worth.

So far, Im thinking of doing some american flag silk tricks (vanishes, blendo, etc). I'm also going to be helping with a history trivia game, and saw a post somewhere about using a change bag - something along the lines of an adult v/s child in a trivia game; and making sue the adults get the near impossible questions via use of the change bag. At this point I'll take any "historical" ideas...

Other than those few gags, and some patter I'm working out - I'm coming up empty. Walk-around will 5 or so hours on Friday, and virtually all day saturday with breaks coming when patrons are in the actual movie - so it's going to be alot of time for entertainment.

So.... any suggestions?
