How many clowns do we have here? I'm a member of COAI in good standing and have to wonder just how many joeys are in the magical side of the house.

So I ask, "Who here wears the nose?"

Hey Rob

I'm a magical Clown from England. I'm a long term proud member of Clowns International.

I sometimes get the feeling that 'legit' magicians don't look too kindly at us lowly clowns but I've seen little evidence of that in this place.

The trouble with being a clown is that no one takes you seriously!!! :shrug:

Anyway, you're not on your own here and maybe we'll find out about a few more Joeys amongst us. :nod:

The great part is, if you do happen to make a mistake. It's a lot easier to:

1. SMILE!
2. Make it a joke
3. Hide your face (behind make-up that is)
4. Blame the invisible guy and get away with it.

My magic may not always work right, but God willing, I'll always work my magic.

I am really glad to see other magic clowns here - I love working with children, and love the fact that the magic is not the be all and end all, just part of a larger relationship with the audience. It's also a lot more fun, although I do believe kids are the toughest audience, and quickest to let you know if they think you are not on the (or their) level.

I am sometimes known as The Nearly Normal Clown.

I rarely wear make up even when hired out
as a Nearly Normal Mime.

Back in the early 80's (prior to the Blue Boys) I came up with "Green Face" for an annual Zuchinni Festival.

My warm up for school shows is very Clown like, I produce balloon clown lips, sunglasses, hat and cane,
and have a few minute struggle getting out of my regular shows into my oversized and very
colorful slippers.

I prefer them over clown shoes because kids
can relate to them, and IMHO just as funny.

I brought a fairly newbie magician to one of my Nearly Normal Library Programs.

After the program, he quipped, "so basically simply, you just act the fool."

I replied Yes but not simply!

I mainly work as a clown. Here in Taiwan, clowns are very well liked by most people. I've been into magic for about 4 years now. Some work is paid and some is on a volunteer basis.
As a family we do shows together as clowns and do family style comedy magic. I've got five kids. We also do balloon sculpting as well, which is very popular here.

IMHO the real magic is in connecting with your guest/audience.

My schtick is being known as a nearly normal
clown. I sometimes wear the nose, but rarely the makeup. I prefer wearing oversized slippers in wild colors, instead of the more
"traditional" clown shoes.

I use balloons for a hat and oversized
"clown lips."

Two of my comedy/entertainer heroes were/are
Red Skelton and of course Emmett Kelly.

Keep 'em smiling.

Anyone out there go for any other emotion than laughter and comedy?

Red has always been a favorite of mine I have both his radio shows and TV shows.

I realize he did much more then that.

I am glad that he was able to fair the medium transition.

I also appreciate Tom Mullica for his rendition of Red. May the comedy never die.

My parents are Christian Clowns they mix both comedy with a serious segment in their show that uses the no float/float balloon routine. It is very powerful and dry eyes are few.

I also know of a silent hobo & Auguste team that the hobo does serious work and the Auguste does the schtick.

I love watching the old masters on tape and listening to their bits.

I am re-reading the Physical Comedy Handbook which has a lot of great ideas for one, two or three person bits.

Regarding Emotions Rob,

I loved your comment! It made me think.

Perhaps if we use the equation:

Comedy = Tragedy + Time

then all is indeed comedy.

When I worked as a counselor at Kansas's oldest Bed and Breakfast, (AKA Lansing Correctional Facility) I had a lot of fun during shows that a Deputy Warden was sitting in the audience.

I am grateful that he had a good sense of humor.

The director always introduced me as the Clown Prince of the Therapeutic Community, when tours came through. (It was a year long
cognitive change and drug treatment program.)

One great moment was when I had the men in the Max Yard playing an impromptu game of Harris Sez. (My Nearly Normal Version of Simon Sez)

Thanks to each and everyone of you.

The Banana Man was very popular on TV when I was a kid. I always remember him coming on stage in a clown car sort of (hard to remember that long ago) and constantly yelling out "BANANAS". With all the reruns on TV nowadays, it would be nice to see some clips of old shows and performers like this. Closest I've seen is partial clips of Ed Sullivan.

Guess you better put my name in the pot. I haven't done much clowning lately, but I am a professionally trained Clown. (not to be confused with a professional Clown, but I was "TRAINED" by professional clowns.) Since I have 4 children I have passed on to them the clowning techniques I have learned. My daughters (one at a time) and I are working on an act together, I am an Auguste named
Aballoonie and the daughter (which ever one
can do it at the time) is named Annabelle
together we call the act "Abe-N-Anna" for
short. (say it quick you'll get it.)

When I/we do go out now it's to the Hospital to do rounds as Dr I.B. Wacky and Dr. I. M. Uquack, or to Childrens Church as whatever we feel like.

I love clowning, and am trying to get back into it more, because my kids are becoming more interested in volunteer work, and I want to help.

Looks like we need our own section/pages here somewhere.

I am new to clowning but I have seriously got the bug! My clown name is Lulu the Clown rather than Loopy Lu, but I like it anyway!

I have been a magician for a few years now, mainly doing stage and children's shows, all of which I enjoyed but I think it is time for a change. I have been practicing lots of clown skills and I am really looking forward to getting a unicycle!

As I said, I have been a magician for quite a while so I am going to involve that with my clowning. I also do fire eating, whilst I don't think that it is appropriate to mix that with clowning, I am finding that my clown skills are helping with it. I have started juggling my torches now! I also want to combine this with unicycling but all in good time!

On special occasions I dress up as "Tears" (hobo, tramp clown), the Clown. I do magic, and your basic balloon animal. I primarily work as a street performer and the times I do bring Tears out the kids seem to love him a lot.

Seriously, I have nothing but respect for anyone who can pull off proper clowning! I've seen too many cases of people thinking; "I've got the make up, I've got the funny clothes, I'm a clown!" And they're not.

I had a restaurant job for a month or so before management decided a waitress (whom they were already paying) dressed as a clown would be fine. She wasn't. I actually suggested a book for her at the library but her attitude was; "I get paid the same minimum wage whether I just stand here, smile and hand out balloons or whether I actually make an effort to be good!

We don't have a lot of "make up" clowns here, in Indonesia. Most of them use clown masks. But I use make up and I think I'm an Auguste. I try to learn clown make up from USA books. And I hope you can help me too.

My clown name is Bubu (boo-boo). But I realized, when I went to USA, that Bubu means hurt for USA kids. Should I change my clown name? What do you think?

Hello clowns,
The Circus Inferno Show from NYC performed at our Center for the Arts today. Preshow, my sons juggled, while I gave lessons. We set up a display table of juggling gear. We promoted our up coming Juggling Festival. We were then given very good seats and were told they were starting in the audience near us and sure enough my boys were covered with popcorn. The show is very good a LOT of slap stick I'll bet they are sore after the show! The show is all physical comedy and pyro timed very well with sound effects and music.

Giday to you all. Please count me in.

Troppo Bob comes in 2 styles.

Most of the time he is performing at venues where the primary audience is children and on most occassions is booked as Troppo Bob the magical Clown with painted face and colorfull overalls and baseball cap with propellor on top. This Troppo Bob is into entertaining with juggling, ventriloquism, clown oriented magical routines, performing animals and ballon sculptures.

At other times he presents in black clothing with a sports jacket and is introduced as Troppo Bob the Magician. This bloke looks more serious but that clown is still eager to make a contribution.

I will come back to this paddock and check out the other topics.

I'm a clown!

I saw this post a while ago but wanted to wait until I got my picture up. I've performed juggling, stilt walking and balloon animals for years. I joined a balloon twisting company several months ago to suppliment my income. The manager said that several of the balloon artists had also started doing some table magic. I had done some prop magic for years but had never messed with slight of hand magic. I started out by dusting off my old sponge balls and getting a few videos. I've had the most amazing time since then learning new things.

Spazzo The Clown was born back in 1980. It happened by 'accident', but the ride has always been fun. My agent needed a clown, so Brad the Magic Clown came about. When I got tired of working for folks who were ignorant, I designed my own costume, aksed a friend's mother to make it, then told the agent (family) where to get off, and Spazzo was born. He has performed on three continents, most notably gaining some small amount of local exposure in Northern Japan, while living there in the late 1990's.

He doesn't come out to play so much these days, as JesterMan has become my main character. He is just about as silly, but without the running children. I miss the pictures taken on the highway from people in the car next to 'me' (Spazzo), but I believe that I am using the same heart for both characters.

The shift has been primarily a logistical one, as I grow into a full-time entertainer. I can shift from 'less colorful' magician, to JesterMan, and then into Santa, Easter Bunny, or back to less colorful magi much faster than I can if Spazzo's show is in the middle, with the added time to get into, and out of character.

Still, there are some things that happen to 'you' as a clown that even being a modern jester doesn't give you... like being (almost) without color/race, being neither male nor female (in some viewer's minds, even though I have a mustache under the white), and the occasional hug from someone who's heart was touched by the clown. :jesterhat:

Hi, I am not totally sure I can be considered a clown or a magician yet but I am really working at it. When my son played on his first soccer team he was 4yo. There was one time when a 4yo took off running in the wrong direction. The referee turned him around, patted him on the head, and the little boy ran in the direction of the ball. That is what I feel like some times. It may be in the wrong direction but I am running. Hopefully I have enough people around me to turn me in the right direction.

When I first joined I seen some people had their picture with their posts. I clicked a few buttons but did not see how to add it. So I assumed it was for members who had 50 or more posts. But I have seen new people with pictures. So I am going to click some different buttons and see what happens.

Hi...in the mix as a 'past' clown...not that I 'past', just the activity.
Started out, doing Dr. I...a magical sad clown for parties in the early 60's.

Bet I'm the only clown here that worked a Nude Ice Show! hahaha...that character was 'Frostbite' and did not appear nekkid! (only a couple of the girl skaters did)
Ricky Dunn was also in that show! (bet he wouldn't have admited it. :)

In later years, Frostbite did some juggling and some other bits with giant props...ie: A Giant Camera and Giagantic Razor that I built was a fun walk around.
Frostbite was not only Sad but rather perplexed and always Silent.
If my scanner worked, I'd have a picture up.

Anyway...just thought I'd put in my 2 cents.

Hi Folks, One of you said something to the effect are clowns lower class magicians? I don't believe there is such a thing as a "lower class" magician. There are just different styles of presentations. It's the audience's reaction that counts. To Promise The Clown I say "Hang in there." I'm struggling with what I want to do and you seem to be so far ahead of me. If you are entertaining people and they enjoy what you are doing then you are going in the right direction.

Hi,

Twenty years ago I used to be a musical clown as "Monsieur Loyal" and performed (the serious clown) for an entire season in the "Magicomic circus".
It was a choice, because I consider that to be an "Auguste" you must have great qualities that I did not recognized in me. It demand to be deeply clown "in your soul". I have a real respect for "Auguste" clowns;

and not only when they do po�tic or sentimental shows !
I find them GREAT when they make me laught and apreciate at that moment their GREAT talent.

Please for my little contribution, consider me as one of yours.

Hi everyone! I recognise several names from other forums.

I Tip Top Tom the clown. I'm also a member of World Clowns International but haven't been able to attend the conventions yet. (This year's is in Illinois, which is a bit far from Australia). I also have to drive my kids to school every day. I've learned mostly through studying the art of clowning at home as well as doing my own improvisation on the streets.

About 18 months ago I was talking about my job with a guest in our home and she said she'd heard about this clown who was doin silly stuff in St Kilda crossing the road and stopping right in the middle as soon as the pedestrian light turned red, and the cars drivers were honking at him, but he was pointing at the lights saying, "but it's red!"

I had to admit that it was me, putting myself through some vigorous training.

http://www.bring-a-smile.com/pix.htm has some more photos of me as a clown.

Greetings,

Please add me to the list of clowns. Though I am in semi retirement from the clowning I still perform ventriloqism and magic fairly regularly.

For over 25 years I clowned with my wife and then added my kids when they became good enough to perform. We toured as The Kids-Celebration Circus for 12 years internationally about 42 weeks a year doing 5 evening shows a week (ministry) and 3-4 educational school shows a week as well...add a few fairs, festivals and special events and teaching and performing at a few clown conventions a year and we were pretty busy.

In 1996 we left the road (we are Salvation Army Officers) and started being pastors instead. I still do ventriloquism and magic whenever I can.

So pleased to find this amazing site!

Blessings

Hello everyone. I am not a clown nor do I play one anywhere (some might roll their eyes and say "wanna bet?!"). Just wanted to mention that a single page of this forum has to be the most colorful at the Caf�! Never seen so much color in avatars to the left. It's like a parade in here! :) Gotta love it. (Circus music in background and reaching for another twist of cotton candy)

Interestingly enough, the first creature I ever saw perform magic was a clown. My later heros (a travelling magician who's name I forgot, Doug Henning, and Shimada) inspired me to pursue my love for stage manipulation, which unlike anything else in my life has been all consuming obsession.

As a child, it was a clown who first made me say "How'd he do that?!". If you must know, he put two sponge balls in my hand, had me repeat the magic words, and from my hand poured what seemed like dozens of sponge balls. The quirkiness and ongoing surprises had us entertained for a solid hour and we loved it.

Thanks and on with the show!

Hi, I perform as Clown Kiko. Doing juggling and magic, acting and balloon modeling.
I do use a little make-up but not much (little red circle on the nose, a sun and little above the eyes). I do not really look like a "classic kind of clown".

As a clown I only perform for children. Just out of interest I was wondering how many of you perform as a clown for adults?

Message:

Posted by: Dusty the magic clown (May 15, 2006 8:38am)

A few points,

First, I am no longer a Shrine clown. I still volunteer as a clown. (All money goes to a charity.) My question related to this is, where can I get insurance at a reasonable price? It is not economically feasible for me to join COAI or similar groups as well as pay for insurance right now.

Second, welcome to all fellow clowns. It is good for us to unite and share our knowledge and personal experiences to better the art of clowning.

Finally, I feel that magic is a great art and that there are not enough people willing to train others in it properly. This is why some of us are better than others. I myself struggle because I cannot learn magic from books and I prefer to have someone watch my rountine and make appropriate suggestions to improve.
Along those lines, if this or past generations do not teach it to future younger generations such as myself, the art will be lost and forgotten and that will be a truly sad day. I have asked many magicians to teach me and they claim that they do not teach. As for magic schools or academies, they are to far and expensive for someone who volunteers a great deal of his tyime for the benefit of others.
I have a question to all of you, Why do we want magic to be so exclusive that we cant pass it on unless you are willing to spend a lot of money on learning materials which I cannot learn from and I cannot afford to go to the magic academy and learn. But I love magic, but because I haven't gone to a school, some consider me inferior. Why?

I do what I do with my Father to make sick children and all children young and old smile again and forget their worries and pains even if it is for a few seconds or minutes.

Also, I feel that all performers are vital in the art of magic including but not limited to: stage performers, parlor performers, Close up magicians, street magicians, buskers, clowns and other magicians clowns or performers that combine magic in their act because they do what they do to entertain others. Not just for money or or persoanl glory because many magicians do not have a tv show and beautiful asistants to distract our audince so lets all band together and promote magic to responsible young magicians to make them more advanced in the art of magic so that they may pass it along to future genrations and keep other people entertained. It is easy to criticize magicians, or anyone for that matter, but it is far more complicated to create a viable solution.

Yours in magic,

DUSTY

Hi guys.

I�ve been on the forum for a few weeks but not checked out this alley before (did you see what I did there? Alley as in clown alley � sorry I'm English and just find it funny that the Americans have clown alleys - being clubs that meet in buildings not alley ways � you know jokes really are NOT funny if you have to explain them �� but you may have been amused had you seen me sweating and my panicked facial expressions as I tied to explain my �top notch joke� to you all.)

OK let�s get balk on track. I have not made time to read all the posts in this thread yet (I've been up since 11 and on the web for most of that � so not getting a lot of work done).

My name is Dave Matkin. Although I sometimes go by the alter ego of �SPARKY�. I have been into clowning for about 10 years. I love playing the fool. But have not done much for a few years now. I have club foot and this has relapsed (again!) and meant I needed MORE surgery. I am still �recovering� from my last op 1 � years ago. But I hope to be doing some more clowning in the coming year. I can�t wear my braces with my clown shoes so I tend to stick to magic and escapology at the moment.

I first performed as a clown when I was at school � red nose day � my costume was dire I made the wig myself and everyone laughed at me. SO that was quite successful for a first outing. I got more involved in clowning after I did a summer camp in America in 1997. I met, my now close friend, �Luck� (aka Keith crabs) who had been a professional clown ad magician for a few years. I learnt a lot from him and started to take make up a lot more seriously. Then in something like 2000 I met KOOKIE the clown (lives in Devizes ?SPELLING? near Swindon in the UK � some of you may know him he is FANTASTIC and can get 30 minutes+ of routing out of a bag of stuffed toys! � Catch phrase �Roodey Poodey� (phonetically spelt). He taught me more about make up and helped me decide on a wig and stuff. I went yellow as it fitted my clown BUT yellow sucks in the summer � thunder bugs! HE was great! I learnt a lot from him and was really proud to meet him and learn from him.

I now have a well developed clown face and a certain character that works really well for �SPARKY� � he�s kind of cheeky, thinks he�s funny and always messing about with people in ANY way he can!. He sometimes does magic � but as he is cheeky likes the sucker endings � he likes getting one over on people (but in a fun way � people know he cheats!)

My name originates from the summer camp I was on. During colour war (I guess that should be color war as it was America?) I rigged up lighting fro the shows they were putting on. Using the remains of 1950s wiring from a derelict play house that was on the camp. SO they called me SPARKY (as in an electrician) after that. The name stuck and I use it for my clown character. Unfortunately South Park came along! Oh well!

Well that�s me. Well SPARKY me anyway. Like I said I am also into magic and escapology � juggling, fore breathing, blockhead and all things circus (except ring mastering  ) .

Well guys it�s nice to meet you I will come back soon and visit. Feel free to email me if you want a chat � not that you will learn anything from me!

Also I am doing a charity skydive and escape and fire juggling (show type thing) on the 9th September I need sponsorship to do the jump so if you have a few � $ or even � or � to spear please let me know and I�ll tell you how you can sponsor me over the internet!

Hi folks,

I have been a full-time professional clown for 9 years. I went to "balloon-aversity" and clown college along with years of balloon conventions and mooseburger clown camp.

For the last year I've also added to the list of offerings a magician show.

There is quite a bit of difference in the presentations of clown show vs. magician show. I wouldn't want to perform my magic show for an audience under 10 years old. My clown show is perfect for the age group 4,5,6 and 7.

Even after being a clown for 9 years, I still get butterflies before every magic show. I'm beginning to enjoy magic shows even more now, primarily due to not having to get into so much make-up ahead of time.

Hello from Greece!

I' m a European Auguste Clown and I live in Patras, Greece.

I perform for kids for about a year and I do a little bit of everything ( Ball - Ring Juggling, Magic, Balloon Animals etc. )

Most of my magic tricks are easy and require the basic skill ( eg: vanishing - appearing silks, coloring books, change bags etc. ) and I think they are ok for a common kids show.

These days, I started looking for tricks that are more complicated and exciting for kids ( and for adults too ).I found many of them but I can't decide which one is for me.

I am in a total confusion! <:O)

I wish I find my magical way!

But, where do I start?

There is a clown in your named ProfessorQB. He is a great clown. Give him a call for support.

Dynamike,

I don't know if I'd trust that Professor QB guy. You gotta watch him. Why, I know what I would do. If I were anywhere in the Tyler or East Texas area I would hire him for a birthday party or if I had a church event anywhere else in the world I'd call him and book him for a gig just to make sure. :0)
