I think I enjoyed Tony Pezzo's latest video.

But not his clothing.

Nice, the mix with the gameshow is cool!
And I am glad I don't need to wear that..

I heard it's the new WJF uniform
That was great, I completely zoned out and focused on the try, never even noticing the music until the second time I watched it!
If you walk into Walmart wearing your performance costume and nobody stares it is not a costume, just clothes
(by Steve Ragatz?)
Loved the juggling although some of the kick up stuff made me want to call the RSPCA.

I love that quote! Can anyone verify it is indeed (or not) from Ragatz before I jot it down in my notebook and spread it over the world?
I started thinking about this recently when a friend posted a Lido paris video and a costume comment with similar opinion as Ragatz'es was posted...
My most recent act did not have a very special costume, but at least my shoes were an eye catcher...
I'm pretty certain it is from Steve, but it is definitely paraphrased. I think it came from one of his articles in the IJDb compendium but haven't been able to find it again yet...

"If you walk into Walmart wearing your performance costume and nobody stares it is not a costume, just clothes"
Does that also apply if your character/costume is a security guard or cleaner?
I loved the video - overflowing with originality.. as was the juggling.

Of course it does. Context is everything, and costumes are typically (but not always) out of normal context.
If your outfit doesn't immediately make people think "Er, why is that person dressed like that? There must be something going on here" then it's not doing its job. So, if you are dressed as a security guard or cleaner in the cockpit of a race car, or in a triathlon, or performing surgery in theatre, you will evoke this question. Hanging out at Walmart, not so much.

Although if you're dressed as a security guard in full stage makeup (because obviously you've thought of that haven't you?), that will probably raise an eyebrow or two in Walmart.

I suppose, if the makeup didn't do the trick, you could always wear your pink fluffy puppy shoes.

I doubt it, not much does.

I was unaware that he had a new video. So I'm glad I logged in today.
I really enjoyed the cross arm three ball stuff he did and the multiplexing was unreal.
