Default trick ideas?

hey,

i can unicycle, i can juggle (sorta). i can almost do both at same time lol.
i can make ballon animals and things. i can tell jokes.

any other ideas of clownish things i can do? im going to attempt pyro when i get a little better at juggling. i think pyro on a unicycle would look pritty good. a little dangours with kids around though but none the less a good skill to learn.

Seems that you've got a good start at the skills. Unicycling, juggling,Pyro, What about stilts? Magic is a great thing to take up. I would go to a reputable trick shop, and explain to him what you want to do.
Honestly, I wish I could do more of the physical stuff, being a thirtysomething arthritic, makes it a bit difficult. Since you have the ability to do the physical. Keep doing it. It's hard to find someone willing to do the physical comedy. If you have acrobtic/ gymnastic type skill, learn to do the falls, and stunts.

stilts a grate idea why didnt i ever think of it .

any Scruffy there is no limiet to what a person can do. i have a twisted bone in my one leg and hips higher than the other. and also i had an ingery to my back a few years ago. it cracked my t12 vertabray. it hurts my back like hell when sitting down sometimes. i though i would never stand a chance of unicycleing coz my sence of balence was teribble and i couldnt sit down long and all the stuff with legs. i proved myself wrong though. i learnt to stand up on unicycle and peddle when back hurt. i also learnt to lean to one side on it so i didnt go all over the place because of my legs and hips learnt how to do it in 1 mounth.

give it a go its just a bit of fun.

Instead of Pyro have you had a look at poi or diablo?

These are both available in great colours and with lights inside. The light ones look just as great as any pyro effect (as does any LED juggling equipment), but there is not the risk that you have with fire.

Whenever we have a venue that does not accept fire at all (hotel, historic building etc.) we always use light pois as an alternative.

Just a thought!
