Hello tricksters....
I am new to clowning and am after some advice.

How do I make my red nose connect to my joke ears? I want to be able to squeese my nose and inflate my ears.

Hope you can help.

Run the air tubes up the back of your costume and possibly, under your wig, and connect them to the ears.. Run the opposite end of the tubes to a Y connector and connect the single tube to a blood pressure cuff bulb, hidden in your pocket.
Let the child "Beep" your nose and then squeeze the bulb :D I hope this helps. I think it would be easier than trying to run the tubes from your nose to your ears.


Welcome to the board, BTW!

The only way I can think of to actually have the lines go from nose to ears would involve plasticine and latex....and that introduces a WHOLE NEW list of issues like making it look natural (or as natural as possible for a clown), Make up coverages...ect...

I like Scruffy's suggestion, as it also allows for other applications as well.
