A walk event could be a good time to work the $2 self tying shoelace. You're bound to get a "your shoe is untied" eventually. The reset may be a bit tricky in a crowd, but it's not a bad trick and the gimmick isn't uncomfortable once it's been triggered.

What else for walk around...

Jumping rubber bands is an easy trick if you just want to do something quick and easy and don't feel like messing with the sponges. Use a couple different colors of rubber bands for a better effect.

You going to be in full clown? Do any card magic?

Card on ceiling if there is a shelter around is a great effect.

If you don't have time to place an order for the materials needed for card on ceiling - you can do Boomerang Card, which requires nothing but a deck of cards and an amount of control.

Work by yourself or will you have an assistant?

Full clown walk around. Not big into cad magic. My fiancee is going to help me out a little, but I really don't know how good of help she's going to be. LOL

Card on Ceiling

Spectator picks a card, signs it, and returns it to the deck.
You throw the deck up to the ceiling and their chosen card remains stuck to the ceiling as the other cards come back down.

Often they come back down still bound with a rubber band that you have to put on the deck - this is good for you as it minimizes clean-up.

Sometimes the rubberband will release the cards and they come down scattered - this is good for the audience as it makes a better visual. Obviously, you have more clean-up.

The party went AWESOMELY FANTASTIC, (I think I just made up a new exciting pharse) Big turn out for the party, and I can't wait to do the MS fundraiser. I didn't get pics for the B-Day party, but I plan on getting some for the Fundraiser.

OK I've been looking around and I couldn't find it, but when your at a big gig, how do you tell a kid no, i they want another balloon animal, and they've popped it, etc.? I've got stickers, so I can tell who has got a balloon or not. Also, I'm looking to buy the BEST quality balloons, what do you suggest?
