This could be a whole new, untapped market -- birthday party clowns for adult parties. Heck, why not? I'd love to have a clown at my birthday party. Of course, I am nowhere NEAR 50.

I did a reitrement home b-day party as a volunteer once. i find they won't respond to traditional kid's stuff (ei face paints skits) but they enjoy adult humor, and caricature art. Every one likes balloon animals... exept for maybe hitler.

Get a "Look who's 5!" b-day card at the local card shop and write in a zero next to the 5. Humor that is silly enough for small children, but with double entendre for adults can be used; simply mispronouce some words or use "Spoonerisms" to mix up phrases... A comic named Norm Crosby used that type of humor many years ago; very witty. Bump a nose and post how it went after it goes!

Update: The birthday party for the 50-year-old went really well. I knew as soon as I made my grand entrance playing Happy Birthday on the "kazoo trombone" that I made at Moose Camp, that it was going to be fun. Nobody knew I was coming, so they were quite surprised, and everybody was roaring with laughter. I found the birthday "girl" and presented her with a bouquet of black balloon flowers.
I did a 25-minute magic show that was pretty typical of what I what I do for a typical kid party (Blooming Bouquet, Vanishing Bandanna, Multiplying Tennis Ball, Turn Birthday Girl Into Bunny, Magic Drawing Board, Bake Cake). I was very lucky that the birthday "girl" was a good sport and went along with everything I subjected her to. She wore the crazy "party animal" hat, donned the tiny bakers' outfit, waved all five of the nesting wands simultaneously. When we baked the sponge cake, I had her toss a few ingredients that people need in their birthday cakes as they grow older--prune juice, Geritol (thanks, Sean), and I had her wear the prescription glasses. I also had everybody sing "Hey Good Lookin" (for the birthday girl's listening pleasure) while she stirred the cake batter. (Thanks, Chris). I brought her a pretty elaborate balloon Carmen Miranda hat that I had made in advance, and she wore it most of the night. At one point I saw an elderly man (probably the birthday girl's father) wearing it. Funny. At first just the kids wanted balloon hats, but by the end of the night I was making fishing pole hats and Super Bowl hats for a lot of the adults. Thanks for all your help. Next time I get a request for an adult birthday party, I won't stress out. It was much easier than I thought it would be.

hi pickles, I am also trying to get something to do a grand entrance.. How about using one of those little scooters- push bikes. add a very loud hooter to it and some balloons on the handle bar. unless you can do cart-wheels.. I certainly can not. or let someone push you in in a pram.
