It took me 5 years and the help of a friend to realise the difference between the quality of whistles . Its all to do with cork balls .The quality whistles all use cork .Mines an Acme , and soundfully loud .

My dad is a referee and he uses the ACME THUNDERER. It has a high pitch squeal. Very loud.

I always use something metal , instead of a hat , for the money . I find the sound of clanging coins quite pleasurable , and it seems to have that effect on others too , spurring them into dropping coins themselves .

I prefer the gentle rustling of $20 bills....

Anyone doing shows on hot sunny days , remember to have the sun at your sides .

Any mad bubble enthusiasts out their not using distilled water are doing it all wrong

For the last month , weve been travelling on buses and trains , with all the usual mountain of stuff , but in big plastic boxes , on trolleys . Much more practical , and the bus drivers are much happier with the arrangement

Anyone feeling overly nervous before a show should drink a cup of camomile tea .I always used to motivate myself with a coffee but when nervous the show was shorter .With camomile tea , the shows 3 minutes longer and more relaxed . Coffee and coñac is good after the second or third shows when the confidence is higher .You cant beat a couple of kiwis (fruit)for a big surge of energy either

Renovate or die (at least thats what the Spanish say )

COINS!!! I hide all coins and seed my hat with a $5 bill and two $1 bills. I do not want to people to see or hear coins cuz if they do that's what they put in. I want bills to be put in. I also do not let the hat get too full so the audience doesn't think "with all that money he doesn't need any more."

But a 1 euro coin and a dollar bill have the same value , stupid

Instead of dreaming of the next big trick in order to expand your show , win friends and succede in life , try expanding from the beginning . We put a new tune at the start , do a few stupid things , and when the old first song comes in , hey presto , more people , all waiting happily for the fun to begin .

Stay hydrated. Make an effort to stay hydrated. It pays off. When active I can go through nearly a pint or litre of water an hour and still have little need to urinate. Add some protein to those kiwis and you should experience more endurance.

I guess in a way, we all pee thru our pores!
Meat sweats in the sun.
Meat is life.
We are meat!
