Wanted to let you all know that I just completed my first instructional DVD. It's called "Let's Get Visual" and features puppets by Axtell Expressions. There are routines, explanations, puppet modifications, props and an inside look at my particular method of making life interesting for kid show and family audiences.
You'll also find the answer to the burning question: "Do two egg bags make an omelette?"
If your interested here's a preview:

When a full-time working pro releases a DVD on which he reveals what makes his shows great, we should all take notice. And I mean all--even non-kid show performers like me. Steve's Let's Get Visual breaks new ground in instructional DVD's by teaching us the elements that make a kids' routine great and demonstrating these elements with videos of his live shows.

Steve doesn't just give you routines to incorporate into your act, though he explains the technical workings of his performances so that you can do just that. He also teaches what he calls the ingredients of "visual gumbo," which are really the elements of the dramatic arc of a show needed to grab and hold kids' interest. There is also a lot to learn just from watching Steve perform. For instance, you will get a lesson in how to treat your audience volunteers just by seeing the huge smile on the face of a boy named Dylan after Steve finishes working with him.

This DVD is more expensive than most vent DVD's, but it's a bargain. You will be tapping into a lifetime of performing experience from one of today's top pros. Priceless.

Oh, and by the way, you'll learn how to stuff 20 hot dogs into a fish.

Steve,
I'm going to piggy-back onto Bob's review. Exceptional DVD. Do you realize that for the past 2 nights I've been up all night completely coming up with new show ideas and puppet routines???? Thanks Steve...Great job on this DVD, well worth every penny plus shipping was lightning fast. Looking forward to seeing you again at Venthaven this year.

Watched the dvd last night, and it is awesome. Bob covered most of the highlights, but there is so much great info on it, I'll be going back to review many times. It's similar to David Kaye's Seriously Silly DVD, where principals are explained, and then shown in performance footage. Thanks for putting this out Steve!

I'm very excited about this! Steve, your youtube videos actually inspired my initial interest in ventriloquism. These days I work almost exclusively with adults but I think your dvd will still inspire me as I think visual creativity can be used in any routine. Do I order directly from you?

I ordered mine. As some people can tell you, I'm a total cheapskate. This means that after much soul searching, I squeezed a few bucks out of my wallet because I REALLY want this one. I think it's going to be a good investment for me. I want my shows to rock so I'm going to the source. I'm looking forward to watching it.

Just watched it and it's brilliant. Every performer should have a copy vent or non vent there are some great ideas on this DVD.
Yes Sarah there is plenty of stuff you could add to an adult act.
