Friday night I did a show for a local group. I was about a third of the way in when I got a signal to cut short. Their presentations and speakers ran long and they had to be out by 9:30.
So I cut my act short and did not get to Silk 2 egg as planned. When I changed back stage I forgot to take the EGG out of my pocket. The jacket went into the garment bag w/ everything else and tossed into the truck. Needless to say, the egg broke. I dropped the jacket off at my favorite dry cleaners and they said they would take care of it. Of course they know why I have several tuxes and have found things in the pockets in the past. They did tell me they were glad that I told them about this rather than letting them find out on their own. Moral of story: Always Check Your Pockets when taking off costume!!!!

That egg in the jacket made him scramble.

Another tip, don't snap your fingers while holding a palmed egg in the same hand. Went right up my nose.

Well I top that story:
Last year's talent show for school the egg to silk was my opener (what was I thinking?) Anyway, the night show was fine, but the day show (in front of the entire school) I had an eggspereince. I bent over to pick a dropped prop up, and about a second later felt a wet spot on my leg, and I knew I hadn't peed myself. Yes, the egg cracked. It smelled, it was obvious and it was awful. What did I do? I went on with the show not mentioning it. THen went off stage and laughed... the best gift is to laugh at yourself. |

You guys are dangerous with a smooth round egg. Imagine the danger a sharp instrument would be!

Lucy thinks she may be the leader of the pack on this. Since Christmas, she has broken three real eggs in her pocket.
