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.

Egyptian Underwater Jump Rope Show

What a whirlwind it has been traveling around the world for the past 2 months! Yesterday included 30 hours of travel back to my camper from Italy.

With over 30 years of working in elementary schools, both public and private, overseas and in the United States, I can say that when I think of a great performance for kids, I think of Peter. He's dynamic, creative, energetic, and varied in his skills with the jump ropes, juggling materials, and unicycle. We have three guidelines (be responsible, make smart choices, and be a great friend) which I asked Per to promote, and he blended these beautifully into his performance.
We've had Peter perform twice, and when the children heard he was coming back, they were elated! I know budgets are tight, and we have to choose carefully, but I can assure you that Peter's fee is money well spent due to his showmanship, his talent, and the power of his message. He's an inspiration to everyone in the audience, regardless of age!
