I hope my post didn't come off the wrong way. Richard, I mean't no disrespect to you in any way.
I love the idea of the Grander Illusion. We're illusionists of the mind. Why not take it to the max... and make a little more $$$ while you're at it. |

No sandsjr, no offense. I was just answering a question.
If that's what makes you more money, more power to you. Peace, Richard |

I prefer the easy on/easy off type show.
Richard's setup seems just about perfect and as streamlined as one can get. Thank you for sharing this! |

Thank you, Tony. As you know, every step of my act, including all the equipment and why I use it, is totally explained in my recent Field Manual. I stand by everything I said.

Richard, what brand and model of traveling bag are you using on stage?
I was searching online last night and there are many different styles and brands. I couldn't figure out which one you are using. |

Steve,
The ones I have been using lately are these: http://www.staples.com/SOLO-Leather-Look......t_555696 They are the right size, seem to hold up well, and yet are not too expensive to replace when they get messed up at gate-checking. The pockets on the inside are perfect for my Ultra Board and Thoughtscan, so I think they would be good for a lot of simliar type slates and pads. |

For whoever is looking for a "Catalog" style case...
Here's one I have to hold all my supplies while on the road. It's bigger than the one from staples though (you may or may not want that). It's a nicely made piece. https://www.overstock.com/Luggage-Bags/M......ailcusts I don't know how much room you need but my show takes up very little space. This case is small but holds all I need for my 50-minute show. Even though it's inexpensive it's held up so far for 50 or 60 shows with no problems. http://www.ebay.com/itm/TZ-ALUMINUM-ATTA......b86c104a |

My show packs into a small catalogue style case as well. It's a wonderful set up. Now if I could only figure out how to get the sound equipment in there...

My two hour theatre show packs down into this: http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y514......hchb.jpg
Actually there's a few cases missing as this was taken during load out. On the one hand it's a lot on, the other it's wom two major awards. None of it is visible on stage (except the Brainmatizer 3000â„¢ seen in the foreground) |

I carry my entire act in a laptop bag with a shoulder strap. When I'm on the roadI have most of my materials packed in my regular suitcases. But a lot of that is extra supplies like envelopes, index cards, a gross of pencils, scissor, glue, paperclips, a ream of paper, markers, etc. The computer comes out of the bag at the hotel. The materials I will actually use in that night's performance go into the computer bag, and off I go to the venue.
Last time I worked the Castle, I noticed that a lot of other guys use this system as well. |

During the month long run at the Edinburgh Festival I use a similar system to Bob.
The props for the show are stored at the venue and everything I need for resets and guest spots on other shows I keep at my digs. You only have a 15min turn around between shows so there is no time to reset at the venue. My resets & the stuff I need to do a 20-30min guest spot at the festival I carry in a A3 portfolio http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0013F85......200_QL40 (A4 pad, jumbo marker, my jumbo version of Silent Treatment) and this bag http://www.truffleshuffle.co.uk/store/ba......579.html for the other props. I use the same portfolio/bag combo when I play comedy clubs or cabaret shows. Obviously neither are present on stage. I find that an A3 pad is the minimum size for revealations if you are playing to more than 50 people. If anyone has a better solution for carrying it around and protecting it from rain than a portfolio I'd welcome the suggestion. What do you guys carry your large pads in? For the stage show they go in a flight case with my table tops but that's too heavy to justify using for a 30-40min headline spot at a comedy club. |
