For fairs
A stage act, with posted show times.
Three minutes, filmed at the State Fair of Texas. A whole show, unedited, on request.
-
THE FEATS
The way they were done in the 1920s.
Steel bars, horseshoes, decks of cards, and for the finale, bowling balls juggled at Guinness World Record level. Taught by hand, down four generations.
-
THE COMEDY
The crowd is in the shows.
A kid gets called up on stage, and
it becomes the kid’s job to get him through the finish. The volunteers, young or old, come away looking good. -
THE ROOM
60 on a Tuesday, 600 on a Saturday.
Same feats, same effort, same finish. The show a corporate gala flies Mike in for is the show a fair gets at 2 p.m. on a Tuesday.
