Hello,
Here's an idea I had today. When you get to a good spot for a photo in your show you bring out a sign saying "kodak moment". "Hold on, before you take your pictures can I just point out that some would use this opportunity for a bit of cheeky self-promotion. Not Me. snap away" When you say "snap away" another sign drops from behind the "kodak moment" sign with your web address and phone number on it. It's for the adults really but might be a fun bit at family shows. what do you think? George |

You should have never shared that on the Café! Immediately make them and call Hocus-Pocus before someone else does! It's a great idea.

George,
I was thinking more of your idea and wondered if I could have permission to use it in the US? I know lots of guys will steal it, but I thought I would ask first, and if denied, then I would steal it. (just kidding) Please let us know.

Cheers folks. I thought it was quite a nice idea, myself. Though any potential probs with it much appreciated.
If you want to give it go yourselves, work away. I'll try it too. I don't think it's a very commercial idea as the sign is quite personal and every one has printers but if anyone doea start selling it I think I deserve a freebie George |

Great minds think alike.I have been doing this for the past few years. My routine is different though and I use a clapper board. This way I can turn it around as they take the pic and it has my website url on it etc. Works great.
I wait till I see aperson with a camera and scream, "WAIT!!!!" lol Then followed by... "Um taken photos is totallyok. The only problem is that Timmy and I are going to be moving around a lot during this routine. We have a reputation to uphold. If you take the pic then, Timmy and I will look like this (make the funniest face and pose ever). Now I am sure Timmy wants everyone to remember him as being the super cool kid that he is. SOOOOO I fixed this problem. Timmy strike your coolpose." Kid takes apose and I bring out clapper board as I state, "Kodak moment take 6" I then turn the clapper board around and it has my information on it. gets loads of laughs and I always have it in my table. The clapper board I use has a dry erase area toplace in anything. I also have found chaper ones where you can add in anything you want just by using letters (stickers) from a office supply store.

Tommy: Thank you. I have used it for years and it just is always set up in my table. It makes for a great and comical moment for the audience and can acyt as a running gag as well.
