Fight Clip Club


Well, it's not really a fight. It's Penn Jillette juggling broken bottles. So we at Bonzuko like Penn & Teller a lot, and we like Discovery Channel's Time Warp a lot. They did another amazing section on this episode wherein they showed the classic cup-and-balls magic trick a few different ways (including clear cups!!!) and it taught everyone a lot about what sleight-of-hand really entails. Anyway...

Enjoy this legerdemain, lovely lurkers.


Thanks to this site for the image.

Trickster Power



I came across this link from good friend Ricky on facebook. This illustrates the very real power of the clown, even in today's society. And think about this--those clowns could have actually gotten hurt. Racist neo-Nazis aren't messing around with their hatred. Anyone know if there's a video of this event out there somewhere? I'd dearly love to see these clowns in action.


Check it out here. ~Jenn

Flight Clip Club


No, it's not a typo. Since I have been working on clowning with the MSCD Stage Movement class, I have been looking at some of the best performances in this field lately. Bill Irwin is the master, of course, but then there's also Rowan Atkinson, especially his "Invisible Drum Kit."

And now my good friend Ricky posted this link in fb: http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=71560884329&h=XaaR7&u=kmj--&ref=mf

It's absolutely exquisite. Enjoy!
