3 Reasons You Should be Talking About Family Show Entertaining
This video isn’t about magic tricks
You are correct that it is not about specific tricks. Instead it focuses on becoming a magician. 🙂
@@ProfessorQB Being a magician can apply to business and a lot of other places in life. Make it look like magic, and make a profit.
I love your videos!❤❤❤
Thank you so much. ❤️ Are you a performer?
Yes, I live in Norway and I am a children's entertainer
@klovnenabby That is wonderful. I am glad you found my channel.
Darcy Lynn Farmer
Darcy Lynn Farmer is great and it is amazing that she is branching out to straight singing. She is entertaining with our without her puppets. 🙂
My favourite has to be Arthur worsley
That is great I find that many Americans are not familiar with the great British ventriloquists. Thank you for reminding us about Arthur Worsley. 🙂
Hey Professor! I love your videos!, I’m a magician from Nigeria, Africa. And applied your tips in many ways in my craft over here. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much. That is so kind of you ❤️
My favorite ventriloquist is Darci Lynne
Darci Lynne is amazing and is not only a talented ventriloquist, she is also an amazing singer. 🙂
Jeff Dunham is my favorite and the best
Jeff Dunham is amazing. A GREAT comic as well as a great ventriloquist!
Thank you for sharing ❤
You are welcome 🙂 I hope this helps people.
Thank you sir for a lot of advice .❤
You are very welcome. I hope I can help the community of performers. 🙂
Jeff dunham
Jeff Dunham is great and one of the highest paid comedy performers
Dont need to talk to alot of dummies already these days
Hehe
I like Reza illusionist
He is so dramatic and entertaining. I can see why Reza is your favorite. 🙂
As a fairly new, stand-up comedian, even though I’m an older guy, I’ve mostly been using the rule of three with serious, serious, and surprise. Serious premise, setting up the surprise punchline.
It works like magic. Also, as you watch and learn from the top stand up comics, notice how they ALL use this. 🙂
I. Fool me once, shame on you. II. Fool me twice, shame on me. III. Fool me thrice, shame on us.
That is another great example. Thank you. 🙂
I. Ed. II. Edd. III. Eddy.
Exactly! 🙂
I. Knock knock. Who’s there? Izmy. Izmy who? It’s me Izmy! II. Knock knock. Who’s there? Knock knock. Who is it? Knock knock. Get out dumbass. III. Knock knock. Okay, Who’s there?! Mr. Wolf. Umm…Mr. Wolf who? (Mr. Wolf destroys door with a chainsaw) Mr. Wolf: Bitch please. And so Mr. Wolf ate the gore and intestines out of Sir Crumpet Tiddlewinks who couldn’t properly answer the damn door, and then he died an honorably gladiator death. This was Morgan Freeman; thank you, goodnight, and believe in rainbows.
Duane and David Lafflin, and yourself.❤ I absolutely love and appreciate all your advice videos. I tried out one of your ideas when I went out doing walk arounds with a fellow clown/friend, and was successful. I had used a borrowed prop (talking tennis ball) but upon discovering the success, I made my own and added it to my available gear. Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting these videos!😊😊
Wow! You just made my day. 🙂 Are you in the Family Show Pro Facebook group? I'd love to hear more about your performing successes. 🙂
I love the makeup, But Why Is the skin red LOL
It is a style called Auguste clown. 🤡
@@ProfessorQB what's that? A augeste clown?
Great question? There are four basic types of clown. 1) Whiteface clown 2)Auguste clown 3) Character clown (like a tramp, hobo or other type) 4) Lite-Makeup clown In this video I am doing the Auguste type of clown. Thank you for your question 🙂
That powder is wheat flour?
No. It is regular Baby Powder. 🙂
@@ProfessorQB Alright man. Great video 👍
Thank you 🙂
Truly thankful 😊. I am new magician and very grateful learning tips from your video.
Thank you for saying so. I hope that you will keep me posted on how your magic career progresses. 🙂
It is delightful to find such a clear makeup tutorial! Too many videos are all about creepy-clown makeup; and I just want to enjoy something whimsical.
Thank you. You made my day. 🙂 What kind of clowning do you do?
If they want something complicated I sure am not going to tell them I do birthday parties. I leave the birthday parties for the others. I just tell them to come back when I don't have a line.
Good point. I love doing Birthday Parties. 🙂
@@ProfessorQB I do maybe 3 birthday parties/year. Only if they are close. It's an opportunity for my daughters to twist and make a few dollars. When I am doing balloons it is almost always festivals and corporate events
When was the last birthday party you did? 🙂
Awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Thank you! That is so kind of you to say 🙂
❤❤❤ nice sir im clown in philippine. i like your clown nose.
Thank you. It is a ProKnows. They have a website and lots of other clown suppliers sell them also. Lots of models (shapes and sizes). What kind are you going to wear?
@@ProfessorQB hm?
I don't sell them and don't have any ties to them. Just do a Google search. 🙂
Ronn Lucas ( Life member of the Academy of Magical Arts)
Ron Lucus is amazing and has done so much to advance the art of ventriloquism. Thank you for mentioning him. 🙂
And some adults get angry if they don't get a ballooon.
That is true. 🙂
Thanks
You are welcome. What kind of balloon twisting do you do? 🙂
Do people still buy DVD'S?
Maybe not as much Most instruction on DVD is now online video courses. 🙂
@@ProfessorQB I guess when I started doing Balloons I bought books, Videos, DVDS, CD. It seemed the more I did Balloons the less I learned from the "Educational Material".
For those who are thinking about taking up the art of Ventriloquism I would start out using a sock on your hand at first to see if you are going to like it and not get discourage and quit, and to those of you who have the determination to put in the hours of practice have fun at learning your craft.
Great advice. What kind of vent do you perform. It's obvious that you're a pro. 🙂
@@ProfessorQB Thanks for the compliment but I am not a performer I have been a fan of the art of Ventriloquism since my childhood and many of the great Ventriloquist I have seen have said at one point in their career to beginners is to start off with a sock on your hand to see is you are going to like it,
Thank you for sharing that advice 🙂
At a young age Darci Lynne has shown what hard work practice and persistence can achieve in life. At a young age Darci Lynne have revitalized the art of ventriloquism and brought it back into mainstream as a major artform! and has inspired countless of people of all age group to either take up the art of ventriloquism or show an interest as a spectator of the art.
She is an amazing talent! 🙂
I have been a fan of the art of Ventriloquism since I was a child. notable Ventriloquist that I like are. Paul Winchell - "Jerry Mahoney", "Knucklehead Smiff Willie Tyler - "Lester" Jay Johnson - "Squeaky", "Bob", "Grits", "Darwin" Shari Lewis - "Lamb Chop", "Charlie Horse", "Hush Puppy" Wayland Flowers - Madame Edgar Bergen - "Charlie McCarthy", "Mortimer Snerd", "Effie Klinker Terry Fator - "Emma Taylor", "Winston the Impersonating Turtle", "Walter T. Airdale Jeff Dunham - "Peanut", "Walter", "Jose Jalapeño", "Bubba J", "Achmed the Dead Terrorist Darci Lynne - "Petunia", "Oscar", "Edna Doorknocker", "Katie", "Okie", "Scarlett", "Ace", "Nigel", "Ivan
That is a GREAT "Who's Who" You really know your ventriloquists. 🙂
@@ProfessorQB Thanks you Professor for your reply to both of my comments. as you know not all Ventriloquists can sing and a good one can make you start to believe that their more then one on stage that their dummies or puppets are real by their puppeteering skills and delivering and timing of their lines between themselves and their dummies/puppets.
That's what makes it so much fun to watch the great ones 🙂
I was thinking of getting a blue wig and give it a sort of spiky style like a wolf cut
That would look great. And I have found that professional stylists love to work with you on clown wigs because it is fun and interesting for them. Will a blue wig go with your makeup? 🙂
@@ProfessorQB styling it with a professional does sound fun, and I think it would fit my makeup pretty well considering its mostly black and white, and my red nose matches with little details in my costume :)
That sounds fun. I'd love to see a photo of your character when you get it all done. 🙂
I was doing balloons before there were single balloon animal balloons! Hanging out in Chicago I saw the creation of the single balloon animal ! The first balloons were Japanese spaghetti balloons. Then 245.! we thought 260s were a miracle. I’ve always bought but the whole balloon community ! I have a completely different way of working. It’s called customer centric. Having nearly 45 years of hospitality and festival experience. I’ve tried all the sites to separate out single balloon animals. I have a notebook over 300 single balloon animals. So at conventions when people say they have 500 balloons, give them my notebook and ask them to show us the 200 that are in there.🤣 I have a video with my technique and philosophy coming out soon from the Filipino Magic, but should be available Worldwide !
What is your single MOST requested balloon?
Lots of good advice here. I use tickets. I have been doing this for several years now. I have a real good idea of how long my line is. I give tickets to everyone in line. I ask the adult how many children they have with them. I then give them that number of tickets. As you know at big events the kids go and play and the adults stand in the line. The kids always arrive to get there Balloons. I always asked the next child what they want while I am making for the children ahead of them. I should start asking the second child what color they want there Balloon figure.
Those are super great ideas. Thank you for sharing them. Where do you get the tickets 🎟️ you use?
@@ProfessorQB just simple "Admit One" tickets I get from Staples. I put them in little stacks of 30, that way I know how many I have given out.
TERRY FATOR!
He is great
