We do escapes here, not comedy. You can substitute marriage for escapes there too..... I get told the same thing SOOOOOOO many times!

I think many here will be pleasantly surprised on his views on the Presentation. Magic123

Ok... Many generate comedy but a select few generate tragedy.... or is their tragedy our comedy? Jay Leslie www.TheHouseOfEnchantment.com
Harley Newman Inner circle 5117 Posts	Posted: May 12, 2013 08:50 pm 0 Yes, it is. And the really good performers let each of those elements evolve from the story they're telling. “You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus” -Mark Twain www.bladewalker.com

Many who cannot do things good, ham it up for laughs and this is what kills the effect. The SJ is alive and well in the hand (arms) of those who know how to entertain.

Dick Oslund Inner circle 8357 Posts	Posted: May 13, 2013 12:08 am 0 I made my own strait jacket in the mid '50s when I was in college. My pitch was that I grew up in a small town about a hundred miles from Appleton, Wisconsin. where Houdini had grown up. And, had been able to meet several people who had worked with Houdini. (Well, in show business, a 'little' exaggeration is allowable!). I did not ham it up, I made it look difficult (without exaggeration). It sold well then, and it still sells well, today! (I'm retired, so it doesn't get as much use as it once did.) SNEAKY, UNDERHANDED, DEVIOUS,& SURREPTITIOUS ITINERANT MOUNTEBANK
