Yes, Clowns do all those things here. Juggling, is almost considered a norm among clowns I don't juggle. I am however trying to learn. I do balloon animals, and I also do magic tricks. I look forward to seeing you performance in your production!
Good Luck!

Thank you very much... And what are your opininons about make up..I mean I know there are some special colours that come wormer for the cihldren..like Generally I have never liked the dark blue colour on the face... I prefe a natural soft clown make up..of course the red nose and white gloves.. but I cant show the age on make up...so I have to do the make up in a proffesional point.. Not so difficult to do...and do you lot change your make up or do you find a good one and take it for the rest of your life ? I hope I am not disturbing you with thos equestions...but believe me there are not many people I can get help of ı need you ladies and gentleman thank you again...

Oh and what kind of tricks do make children go "Whoooooooaaa" and will keep them quite..cause the children I play to will be in the age between 6 and 12 and,there will be about 150-450 of them so please HHHEEELLLLPPP MEEE!!!!No panic no panic!! :P :lol:

Hi, Dean

I've been doing this for nearly 30 years and my makeup is always changing,
at least little by little over the years.

Your best guide for makeup is your own face. Don't make your clown mouth
get too wide - stay within the vertical lines you would have at the outside corners
of your eyes.

Remember the purpose for makeup is not to be a mask to hide behind, but a method
to convey your expressions to an audience. Study your face in a mirror and make
faces - smile, laugh, frown, cry -- practice all the emotions. Pay attention to the
"laugh lines" or wrinkles that move with your expressions. For example, in the
forehead there are wrinkles that move with your expressions. If you make your clown
eyebrows higher on your forehead than those wrinkles, they won't move with your
expressions - so use those lines as the limits.

Too much red is typically scary for kids. Over the years the red mouth for
clowns has gotten smaller and smaller. For a white-face clown, these days they
typically only put red on the bottom lip, and leave the top lip white. Otherwise,
the effect from a distance is a huge red area with a black hole in it when you
open your mouth.

The "pips" or red circles would go just to the edge of the creases in your face that
move when you smile or frown - no need to go any wider.

If you are going to be on stage, you might consider outlining your designs with
black pencil or thin black line from a brush.
On the other hand, if you are going to be close-up to the audience, especially
kids (which is what I think you're saying you will do) you might want a softer
look without the outlining.

I'm a tramp clown, so the tips I've given you are only what I've picked up from some
of the classes we give to new clowns.
As a tramp clown, I blend my makeup so there aren't any hard lines to my face
other than my eyebrows.

If you're doing a white-face clown, be sure to pat the white out to make it even
and then do cut-outs with a cotton-tipped swab where your color areas are
going to be. Then powder after the white, and after each color if they are
close to each other.

I don't care for yellows or greens on a face, and prefer the reds, blues and
blacks. However, I've seen an Auguste clown who uses some yellow in the muzzle
area outlining the red area. She blended the colors together and feathered the
look and it was a good-looking effect.

Hope this long-winded post helps some!
