He might make me disappear!

There was a little girl tonight, somewhat afraid of me. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes they mistake me for a clown - I usually show them my feet are too small and everything is good. But this girl wanted to hide behind mom as I performed my dancing cane. We tried to cox her out, but she said she was "afraid I might make her disappear" - it was a cute moment.

A guy dropped something in my tip jar ... as he was bending down, he looked up and said "thank you for making my child smile". I normally don't pay the jar much mind, but I noticed he dropped a $10 bill into it, a rare occurrence indeed! I guess he didn't realize his child made me smile, I felt like I should be paying him.

We are dropping the new rope tricks out of the routine so we can tweak them some more. On the other hand, we are well pleased with the new dancing hanky routine and put it into the rotation - we do it mostly in the daylight instead of the dancing cane. And we are bringing in the new trick with the cup and the ball, and I must say it is a great trick indeed and I am very pleased with the reactions we are getting! Still a little awkward with the use of the spectator but the pieces are falling into place and there will be a YouTube video before the summer is over. : )

It has been a little windy, for those that are not familiar with the ocean breezes here is an example of how strong they can be. This is a suitcase table, pretty heavy. I'm surprised that a gust of wind was able to drop it:
