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. I had shows in Mexico City, Egypt and Italy since I left back in October. I will talk about my Italian adventures in a different post, but today I want to focus on a strange request for me to do some underwater jump rope during my show in Egypt. October was my 6th trip to perform in Egypt in the last 2 years. I’ve had a lot of fun performing for tens of thousands of people (over 15Read More →

I recommend the Jump Masters program. It was a motivational program where he talked about making good choices and perseverance. Getting things in life isn't always easy, you have to work for them to get your goals. He talked about middle school students knowing what they want to do now in life and working toward that goal. Getting things in life that are simple usually doesn't give you the greatest outcome.
He was very energetic, very active, the kids responded well. During the assembly, they were actively involved, he had lots of different volunteers get up and jump rope with him, he showed them different tricks, talked to them throughout the program and ended with a great finale, a light show.
I think it's one of those assemblies that will stick with the students because it was very interactive and very exciting for them. His message will actually mean something to them instead of someone sitting there talking to them about why they should make good choices. He was able to use his jump roping ability and skill to demonstrate to them that with perseverance this is what you can do.
