More stuff....

Presentation, Presentation, Presentation!!!

Remember that HOW you present something is the bit.

Stretch out the effect by using bits of "business" along the
way.

If you bring up a child assistant, ask them their name, then
say "good. I thought you forgot." Or "that's the right name
to pick!" Or something equally silly.

You can make a full production out of one balloon by stretching
it, and having it snap back and hit you in the face. (Actually,
keep the fingers open on the hand with the nozzle in your mouth
and it should hit your fingers.) The rest is acting!

Or, start to inflate a balloon at the wrong end. When the kids
holler turn it around, you turn it all the way around back to where
you started and try again. When they holler "the other way"
turn it all the way around the other way. Etc.

Learn to think like a clown -- not like a normal person would.
