Summary: Put together your own act today! This free video gives you tips for how to work with props in your act or show.
"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Pat Louis here in Miami, Florida. I'm going to teach you today how to put together an act. Let's talk about props because they can be an intraquit part of your act especially if you're doing humor. Now this is something I used for my Elvis props, I use a pair of glasses and of course my scarf. At the end of my act I'll just pull this off and say that the women always want pieces of my scarf. So I always have a few here and cowboy hats are good. Now if you're not doing humor, you may doing something that requires let's say you're a female and you want something to do that has a classy type of thing. You might want to throw a bow on lots of different types of things. You can find these at the custom shops or Goodwill stores or any of those places. The cost is very minimal and even if you have to pay a few bucks, this hat has been with me for 25 years so I got a lot of action out of it. This is my Johnny Cash hat by the way."
