Egyptian Revival – The Return of the 6 Foot Balloon

On: December 3, 2017

During my Egypt trip, they asked if I could do something different during my show. This being my 6th trip in 2 years meant they had seen all my stuff. Now we needed something new…It was time for the revival of the 6 foot balloon! The what? Years back, and I mean like 20, I was the 2nd (or 3rd) person in the USA to learn how to perform with a giant 6 foot balloon. The basic premise was to climb inside it and then back out.

We asked Peter Nestler to come and present an assembly to our pre-K - 6 on January 22nd. We are starting our Jump Rope for Heart that we do every year and I thought this would be a good tie-in with Peter being a World Champion rope jumper. Anyway, we asked Peter to come and he presented just a phenomenal 45 minute presentation where he showed some of the skills that he has, he involved several of our students during 2 different times throughout the performance. His message was nice and clear and to the point. Where kids and people always want to be champions at something, the first thing you need to do is get smart, learn all you can about the skill that you want to become very good at and then you just need to get going, and that is practice, practice, practice.
His message was that it takes continual practice, but it doesn't need to be for long period of time throughout the day to get better at a skill. I would highly recommend Peter to come to any school, his enthusiasm was fantastic and he really involved the students. Not only did they get the message, but they were able to participate and be entertained at the same time.
