PIE FIGHT BREAKS RECORD!!!!!

Phineas and I flew to Dallas TX to be a part of Guiness and Ringling Brothers history. Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus hosted the Biggest Pie Fight on Earth! The old record was 684 people and we beat it with 714 people having a pie fight for one minute straight. It was to usher in this year's International Clown Week.  (find out more www.coai.org) We found out about it online and then found out that it was also to raise funds to support two great clown programs in the Dallas area. One of them was the Funnyatric Clown Care Unit. Three clowns in this group are special to us, Tiffany and Dick Monday, the founders of the NY Goofs (that's where I went to clown school) and Eric Binkowski who was a classmate of mine in year one of clown school. So it was great to see them and help their programs.
We also got to hang around with the clowns from the Fully Charged Show's Clown alley. They even honored us by throwing an extra pie at Phineas to recognize his coming all the way from NY for this event.
We got an interview from a local radio station, and have shown up on a number of Dallas local events web sites.
What a great and fast trip. Arrived in Dallas at 2AM Tuesday morning and got back home at 1AM Thursday. Boy that was a whirlwind tour of Dallas. I want to thank the Ringling Brothers Circus for this event. I know its just another brilliant PR event for them but those of us who were in the pie throwing battle zone had an incredible time.

check out some of these links to the photos online of us and the rest of the event.

103rd Salute to Magic a rousing success!!

Congratulations to Richie Magic, The Great Throwdini and their production team on a wonderfully fun, magical, comedy filled evening.
The Society of American Magician's Parent Assembly #1's, annual Salute to Magic happened last night at Theater 80 on St. Mark's Place in NYC and the show was great. Illusions, comedy, incredible magic, and the presentation to my friend and mentor Victor Sendax the award for Magician of The Year for his contribution to the PA#1 and magic over the years. Bravo Victor!
Richie Magic, the Assembly's President Elect with our Treasurer The Great Throwdini produced the show late in the game this year and managed to pull together a well rounded fast paced evening of entertainment that left the with sore hands from all the clapping....Here is the line up: MC Todd Robbins of Coney Island Side show fame (I am a huge fan of this guy), The cutting edge magic, manipulation and dove work by Elliot Zimit, The Great Throwdini amazed the room with skill and precision (and the double veiled wheel of death was a spine tingler!), Ventriloquist John Pizzi kept the laughs coming from his gallery of puppet characters, and finally the very entertaining Lyn Dillies who performed Grand Illusion that had everyone in awe. And the applause continued. The final curtain call included the SYM (Society of Young Magicians) members who performed close up magic for the audience during intermission...very talented kids. I'm going to say it again...every act was perfect, we were a lucky audience....
After the show Phineas and I asked Richie Magic to introduce us to Todd Robbins. As I said earlier we are both big fans of his work over the years and it was cool to meet him and thank him.
A great evening of Magical theater put together by some of my favorite people in the business....Thanks!

Bark for Life a rousing success....

What a great turnout for the 2012 American Cancer Society Bark for Life Dog walk at Riverside Park in NYC. Phineas, Pupperdoodle and I walked behind Four Paw and he did GREAT! He walked all morning and for a puppy with such short legs he was a trooper. Showing up in full clown was lots of fun and generated lots of looks and photo opps for everyone. What's better than a picture of your dog with our family of clowns. We were interviewed by a few reporters including a video interview for NY1 News, so keep your eyes peeled for all the media ( I hope it doesn't all end up on the cutting room floor).
Now remember what's behind all of this...team CIRCUS BICUSPID raised $264 in donations and some additional on site donations for the American Cancer Society! We are very proud of our puppy and all the good work he is doing....he's a star. I posted some photos on Twitter during the walk and I'll post some photos here when we get them all together. So check back soon...subscribe to the blog...experience the blog......heck even buy advertising on the blog!

Busy busy busy....

Well I haven't posted in a few weeks just because we have been very busy with work and performing...its great. This past Sunday I performed the Dr. Molar Magic Show for the  in Brooklyn. Just a few blocks from Coney Island which means.....Nathan's Hot Dogs and Fries for lunch! Score.
The show was a hit, in spite of a few AV issues at the start, and the audience laughed and clapped throughout. Nothing gives me more pleasure when I walk out in front of the audience and a bunch of kids yell, " look its the clown", someday maybe I'll come into my office and all the patients in the waiting room will yell," hey look its the dentist!"....maybe not.

This Sunday we are off the Margaret Tietz Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Queens to perform at their family day, when all the grand kids come to visit. Phineas and I will be juggling, doing walk around magic and will be in charged of general stupidity and Pupperdoodle will have her temporary and glitter tattoo booth set up. It promises to be lots of fun

Phineas and I have enrolled in the NY Downtown Clown's Slapstick DOJO again, so now for the next 5 weeks on Wednesday night we will review how to slap each other silly and fall all over ourselves safely while the audience laughs their heads off......great fun, BYOM (that's bring your own Motrin for us over 40 clowns)


Any for all Magic Fans out there, the Parent Assembly of the Society of American Magician's Annual Salute to Magic Show will be Tuesday night May 21st. If you're interested, check out the website, www.SAMPA#1.com for ticket and show info. this year they are honoring my friend and Mentor Dr. Vic Sendax as Magician of the Year, I'm really looking forward to the show.

Hoopin' it up on 14th street

Last night I took Pupperdoodle into the city to go to Groove Hoops. My friend from NY Goofs clown college Stephan runs a weekly drop in class at the 14th Street Y with his performance hoop troupe. She had a blast and learned some cool new moves including a great maneuver where you jump through the hoop as you are spinning it across your body, looks awesome. I'm sure that one gets into her new routines.
Before class we walked around the area which is full of thrift and vintage clothes stores. Phineas found some good costume pieces for some new tings he has been working on.

We've started the fundraising for the annual American Cancer Society's Bark For Life Dog Walk.
Team CIRCUS BICUSPID led by Otto "Four Paw" will walk this year on May 6th at Riverside Park.
We sent out a mass email to start getting donations. We are looking for lots of small donations to show that even small contributions can easily add up. Check out our team page and please consider a small donation.

What a blast.......Circus Bicuspid Back for Seconds

The show was great! Phineas Pupperdoodle and I had soooo much fun on stage. The audience had a great time and there were many laughs and happily lots of applause. And now for one of my favorite parts......the passing routine was perfect!!! I didn't drop a single club. Thanks to the Producer's Club for the great service being very accommodating to us. Taking a small theatrical circus to an off Broadway theater is a lot of work but at the same time a big thrill. I also want to thank all our supporters who came out to see the show. The Kitchen Goddess took some great video and the Great Throwdini took lots and lots of photos. I'm working on editing everything to put up for the world to see on our web site so check out the blog and twitter for the updates.
So now that our circus is over we are headed to see Ringling Brothers Dragons at the Nassau Coliseum tomorrow night.
BTW Phineas had a great show at Dixon Place on Monday at the NY Downtown Revue.....
 Watch for the videos....keep 'em clean!

Another great Sunday and next week is almost here!

This past Sunday we had a great time performing at the annual Diabetes Research Institute's Carnival for A Cure at the Metropolitan Pavilion in NYC. Phineas and I spent the day juggling and clowning with all the folks who came to play the games and eat the food at this incredible fund raising event.
Honestly since we've been rehearsing for our show I've gotten much better with the club passing so we did a lot of passing at the carnival and we looked goooood. (I'm very proud of myself for learning this skill)
Next week is going to be a busy one. Monday Phineas performs at the NY Downtown Clown Revue at Dixon Place , Wednesday is CIRCUS BICUSPID BACK FOR SECONDS and next Friday we have tickets to Ringling Brothers Dragons at the Nassau Coliseum....we love the circus, ours or someone else's.
Check out our facebook page to see our latest video commercial for the show and the link to BrownPaperTickets to get your seats....they are going fast!
