Family / Childrens performance (Geared from 3-12)

My high energy performances include Juggling, Unicycling, Age appropriate Magic and Slapstick Comedy which keeps the audience laughing from start to finish!
My act is unique, fun and everyone participates.
Included in the family show is a levitation illusion where a child will float about 3 feet in the air.

This performance is usually 1 hour in length.

Go Green a performance showing importance of helping the environment.
Just Say No To Drugs - This performance gives a poitive message to students on ways drugs can effect us and our families.

Corporate Events (Mature 14 - Adult)
Adult performances are about 45 minutes in length the magic is more sophisticated, The show has a number of volunteers assisting from the audience and includes a staight jacket escape. I use choreographed music with some effects, I set up a 12 foot backdrop 2 large banners and I even bring lighting for use in venues that dont have a stage.

Personnel

Paul "Clumsy" Antonio: performer

Influences

I loved Laurel and hardy, I also used to watch Harold Lloyd, a great British comedian Tommy cooper, and of course Charlie chaplin.
Did i mention I started performing when I was 9.

What to Expect

Typical Gig Duration: 60 - 600 minutes

Sound sytem and Lighting are used where required. I am 100% self contained.

My Family stage performance is extremely fast paced, it involves magic to music in the beginning, followed by slapstick comedy. Audience participation follows when a number of children come and help with various props. The ever loved unicycle routine comes next, and boy does that get the kids excited and shouting at me!! Where do 5 year olds learn how to ride unicycles anyway ??? Juggling is added just to show off a few great tricks.
The Finale of the performance is when I take a child from the audience and using the theme from Disney aladdin I make the child Float about 3 feet in the air.

The Teen - Adult Performance
This is also a full variety show, I usually perform as Paul Antonio, wearing slightly different stagewear, I perform a number of stunts including completely mind boggling magic, various comedy routines, a straight jacket escape and of course my famous unicycle and juggling routine. This act is geared towards older and mature audiences however the humor is still 100% good CLEAN FUN.

Walkabout Entertainment
This is used for larger events and festivals, I bring my stilts which puts me high over the crowd and can be seen from a distance, I also incorporate juggling various items and can offer unicycling and fire juggling / fire eating where required (fire extinguisher is brought and an area is usually roped off for additonal safety).

I am fully insured but dont panic no claims to date!

Stage/Setup Requirements:
I am fully self contained, just a socket to plug into
I have a battery operated system which can be utilized also

Additional Notes:
I bring a full portable backdrop to all performances it can be as short as 6 feet or as long as 12 feet.
My sound system for music is all battery so no need to plug in however if there is a socket nearby I will use it.
For larger events which require voice amplification I have my personal Shure radio mic which needs to be powered by electricity.
If you have a socket to the right of the stage that is always a bonus!
