Brookdale Gets Therapy Dog Visit....

The Samuel Shulman Institute Nursing home and rehab center at Brookdale University Hospital now has a therapy dog program through the Good Dog Foundation. Otto is it! Today he started with his first therapy visit to meet and greet the residents. We spent an hour taking Otto around the room to be petted by everyone and then handed out his adorable trading cards. He had a great day and enjoyed his work uniform, the orange and blue good dog foundation bandanna,  and the attention he got from everyone (including Izzy the house cat, who came out to see who was visiting his space) We are all very excited to have Otto involved in this great project. As time goes by he is going to make regular visits and in the future he may come on clown rounds with us. We were also asked if we can include the nursing home/rehab center in our clown rounds and we have started looking into scheduling that as well.
Also....The show is coming, the show is coming......Circus Bicuspid Back For Seconds is March 21st 7:30pm at the Producer's Club.....get your tickets now at Brownpapertickets.com

What a week.......

Last weekend was the annual clown Jamboree in Mystic CT. It was a little different this year as there was no skit competition or makeup competition (good job Steve Kissel) but there was a star search evening on Friday. So both Phineas and Pupperdoodle performed. He juggled and she hooped and both won prizes for their performances. The best part of the weekend is meeting up with friends that we only see once a year like the always hysterical Brian Dwyer. We got to host a hospitality suite together where we all jammed on our ukeleles....lots of fun. Pupperdoodle presented Kathy "Tots" Mackey with a check for $350 from money she has raised for Camp Sundown as part of her BatMitzvah Chesed project. She is really a special kid. After lots of fun and clowning and a quick drive home we all passed out from exhaustion.
Then it was back to work.....but Friday came and it was time for the monthly SAM meeting. The after meeting show was a session on improv from Scotty Watson and our own Isaac Rodriguez. What a blast! I haven't had a chance to improv like that since my last NY Goofs class. Phineas joined in and we improved some very funny stuff for everyone.
Then tomorrow I'm performing the Dr. Molar Magic Show at the annual Second District Dental Society Dental Health Day. This year its being held at Aviator sports in Brooklyn. It always turns out to be a fun day and the kids who show up get lots of great info on good oral health care and dental care. Then on Monday Otto aka "Four Paw" makes his first Good Dog Foundation visit at Brookdale Hospital's Samuel Shulman Institute.
And.........the rehearsals have begun! Yes we are in full rehearsal mode for our Show on March 21st at The Producers Club...CIRCUS BICUSPID BACK FOR SECONDS. Tickets are available from BrownPaperTickets.com

With its formation in January of 2005, we were able to help fund the mission of teaching the importance of good oral healthcare habits and the link between oral health and overall health to kids, adults, and everyone in between using educational programs such as The Dr. Molar Magic Show, the Toothzone Carnival Games and healthcare facility visits. The foundation programs are provided for low or no cost, and all the proceeds from the programs and fund raising go back to the foundation for programs. There are no salaried employees, everyone is a volunteer!

Clowning at the Hospital Today

Today I had the privilege of clowning at Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn where we have our Clown Dr program for the Hemetology/Oncology department's xmas party for all their patients in the community. It was attended by over 100 children and their families. At first they asked me to do a magic show but then it was decided that I should do walk around instead. I brought some great walk around comedy and decided to bring the balloon pump and twist a bit as well.  What FUN I had....spinning the plate, doing magic, dancing with the kids and making my usual simple single balloon sculptures. I think the thing that went over best was the three frog monte. This effect was developed by the late great Bob McAllister. In fact he gave me this set just before he came to market with it. Having groups of kids guess which frog will squeek was a blast. The cut and resotred rope went over well in this situation and as always I ended up with the stream of children following me waiting to see the trick again and again.
Just as thing s slowed down a bit, in walks balloon twisting guru Todd Neufeld. I recognized him immediately and introduced myself. Well before I introduced myself I threw my balloon pump into my bag and put my twisting stuff away. I always defer to the expert in the room. Funny thing, and I told this to Todd when we spoke, is that I had just followed him on twitter the day before.
After a few more games of three frog monte and the end of my rope....it was time for me to go.
A wonderful party, all the kids and their families had good food, entertainment and fun.

Phineas Blows them away at Century Association

Last night Phineas was invited to perform at the Century Association in NYC. This invite came from non other than the legendary (in implant dentistry and magic) Dr. Victor Sendax, a good friend and mentor of mine. The Host for the evening was long time Century Association member Dick Cavett. What a thrill to meet Dick Cavett after watching him and listening to him for years. You may not know that Dick is a magician as well, but after he performed a very entertaining rope routine, everyone knew! After Dr. Sendax did his serpent silks and snake basket routine he introduced Phineas. He did his award winning Coney Island Knife Juggling routine, then the great rising card effect. The audience loved it. Next came some mentalism by Peter Cove followed by Dick Cavett's rope routine. An incredible show! Afterwards we spoke with Dick Cavett who exclaimed to Phineas, "stay in show business you were great" and we got a picture of this legend and my son the clown.

Meanwhile back on the other side of town, Pupperdoodle was performing in a ballroom dancing show in preparation for a Ballroom dancing competition next week. We are hoping with all the kid's practice and effort that her team takes the school to the next level. Everyone in this circus works!
that's it for now
