Pete Biro V.I.P. 17792 Posts Posted: Jan 26, 2010 12:44pm       ONE? That's tough. I guess my closer... my Card in Balloon. You can see an abreviated version on my web site www.petebiro.com It was cut way down by the TV editors. Credit for the concept goes to Persi Diaconis, who suggested throwing away the prop tray to hold the balloons and just hold them in your hand. I was asked to do it on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, but my photo assignment schedule overlapped and I never did the show. On a big stage? I'd do the Comedy Perverse Linking Rings or the Ken Brooke routine multiplying bottles, with the legs table. STAY TOONED... @ www.petebiro.com Heres Tony Loyal user Orlando 258 Posts Posted: Jan 26, 2010 1:31pm       I'd heard about your Card in Balloon but this is the first time I've seen it. Fantastic!! Pete Biro V.I.P. 17792 Posts Posted: Jan 26, 2010 1:44pm       Thanks a bunch... I wish the clip wasn't cut short. I haven't used the material, but a friend of mine that wrote for David Letterman, then Jay Leno (when he moved to Califrnia), did a re-write on the gags, bringing some of the refernces up-to-date.
