[Missy]

Hi everyone!

I'm Missy. My family and I are thinking into breaking into the entertainment business. We currently belong to S.A.M. and have been concentrating on magic, but I would like to add clowning to our list. My daughter and I would play the role of the clowns and we are currently in the process of trying to develop our characters. We are also trying to work-up some skits together. Eventually, we would like to get into clown magic! I am working on learning balloon animals, but my daughter (12) is already a great little balloon twister. She got into it awhile ago and has been doing it like gangbusters ever since!

Eventually, the whole family would like to do birthday parties. All of us would be involved. Dad wants to be a "regular" magician. My daughter and I would like to be clowns that do magic. We all want to do the balloon twisting.

Now, we just need to learn the basics and the business side of the entertainment business. So, I am really hoping I can learn more information here.

Oh, I guess I should say one thing. Or perhaps I should say, "ask". Is anyone else here quite shy? I am. But, I can be really silly around kids and I think that by "clowning" it will help me to overcome my shyness. Especially, in costume. Just wanted to know if anyone else was in the same boat?

Thanks everyone. Can't wait to learn from you!!
