I got this idea from Pickles's experience using the spray expanding foam. We are working on a two clown skit and thought about using the foam as part of the skit. We are not sure of the ending, as we felt it needed more. What do you think?
Expanding Foam Skit:
Boss clown directs worker clown to seal a window with spray foam. Boss Clown tells worker clown to be very careful because the foam is very messy and sticks to eveything. We use a window display, like you see in Home Depot, as a prop and add wheels so we can spin it around and hide part of the skit from the audience until we are ready.
The Boss clown informs the worker clown he will be on the other side of the window reading the paper. Boss clown goes to the other side of the window prop, sits on a small chair and pretends to read his paper. When he does this, he changes his hat to one with a large amount of foam(dried) with Velcro the same color as the foam. This clown and the hat change cannot be seen by the audience.
The worker clown messes around with some foam(whipped cream), and eventually starts applying the foam(whipped cream) to the window. This worker clown starts to wonder where his foam is going and turns the window prop around revealing to the audience the Boss clown asleep with the fake foam all over his hat.
The worker clown frantic to get the foam off the Boss clown's hat before the Boss clown wakes up messes around for a while and finally touches the foam on the hat. Since we have applied Velcro to the hat and the worker clown's glove, the glove sticks to the hat.
After several attempts to get his hand free without waking the Boss clown, he fails and the Boss clown wakes. Frantic the Boss clown tries to pull away from the worker clown, but instead he pulls the worker clown's glove, which we sewed ten feet of extra fabric to, out across the stage. The extra fabric has been hidden under the worker clown's sleeve so the audience cannot see it. When pulled, the worker clown's hand slips out of the glove and it gives the appearance the gloved hand has stretched out 10 feet, when in reality it's just the extra fabric pulling from underneath the worker clown's shirt sleeve.
In a panic the worker clown attempts to hold on to something, so he whips out his foam(whipped cream) and sprays the window sill. He grabs the window sill, which we added Velcro to also, and his other gloved hand sticks. The first clown now pulls the worker clown's other gloved hand, to which we also added 10 feet of extra fabric.
At this point the worker clown is pulled off stage, but his gloved hand is still stuck to the window. The illusion is both of worker clown's arms have stretched 10 feet with one still stuck to the window sill.
