Well I can't juggle (yet) but I use 'sticks'. Sometimes called devil sticks,
flower sticks, or crystal sticks. I also eat and breath fire. And to top it
all off I'm learning stage combat. What next ?

I play a variety of instruments, from bass guitar at a pro level to good
garage band on guitar, drums, etc.
My new project is trying to form a punk drum corps, which will use trendy
"tribal" drums but work in odd time signatures and have some drum corp style
interleaving of parts.

re #3: Eat and breath fire, that would be neat-o. Is there a way you can
explain it? I think i know what the devil sticks are, is it 2 you hold in
your hands then a 3rd you bounce between them? i've seen them before, they're
kinda neat. Anyone know any simple magic tricks they'd be willing to share?

Well fire eating/breathing is considered (by some) to be a 'magic trick'.
Of course that being the case I can't give away the secret of how it's done.

I play a number of instruments, including the piano, guitar, organ, tuba,
voice, and recorder.
My speciality in piano is Romantic Era pieces. I am still trying to learn
concepts of improv, but I don't play enough to get really good at it.
My specialities in guitar are classical and folk style.
My specialities in voice are sound effects, imitations, impersonations, and
popular singing.
I prefer the tenor recorder.
I also dabble in a little stand-up comedy, but it needs a lot of work. Timing
is good, material needs some help. The key, as I understand it, is learning
your audience and crafting the jokes to relate to them.
I also act, although I haven't studied method.
I would very much love to learn how to stage dance..
Oh-- I've also been said to have a radio voice, which helps with storytelling,
narration, and poetry reading. And yes, I write poetry.
