whip cracking in Arizona

Here's a video that was taken at the Arizona Renaissance Festival this past weekend. It's not a super great quality video, but it shows what I've been doing with my whip performing.

The fire whips are always neat to see and hear, too bad it wasn't at a later time when there wouldn't have been so much light.

Adam, you were born to perform! That is an excellent show
you put together. Oh, and you're an ok whip artist too :mrgreen:

Seriously, every minute you put into practicing your routines
and coming up with fresh material shows in that clip.

Good job and hope you make it to the Northeast in your
travels!

Thanks for the comments guys!

I know that the ideal time for firewhips is at night, but it still impresses a crowd in the daytime.

Will,

With the dialog, the biggest challenge was figuring out what to say, and how to transition smoothly from trick to trick. Also, I've been wanting to get up to Bothell to see David for some time now. I hope this year I can make it happen. Sorry to hear about his short-term memory not being what it used to be.

Adam -

Thanks for your kindness re David. He has a sense of humor about it, my mom is the one who worries.. but we are all coping pretty well I think.

Your act all came off as well improvised!

We'd love to see you so always feel welcome. We should be able to get Louie and others together and maybe do some sort of get together... Keep your eye open for gigs in Seattle too, we have a pretty lively burlesque / circus theatre scene up here:

Adam your act gets better, and better and better.... :D

Glad to see you make it back to the fair. I had the honor of seeing him last year and I will be seeing him next weekend! I was supposed to bring my 12' Morgan to you last year and never had the chance. I hope to do so this year.

Keep on crackin'
