Brady Neher- Turning people into caricatures of themselves-2 hours

See Brady in his first teaching workshop!  Using the big eyes that I like to do, these can be done in 5 to 8 minutes, depending on how much detail you want to add, and how fast you can paint.  As I said, I like to take my time. These are good at festivals when you are being paid by the face and not by the hour.

The Great Zucchini- Performing for 3 and 4 Year Olds-2 hours

The Great Zucchini will show you how to not try to fool a 3 year old, but win their trust so that they are laughing with you in less than 5 seconds. How to keep the kids enthralled, with tricks you might already be doing, but haven't quite seen the difference that a 4 year old has a completely different sense of humor than everyone else. I will show you that preschoolers have awesome attention spans if you do things they are into. I will teach you how to have small kids remember your name, brand yourself, and the kids will be talking about you all year. Remember, I no longer advertise. Belly laughing fun is a ball for young kids, and your show can be just that. I've been doing this along time and I can't wait to speak at my first conference.  VOTED "BEST LECTURE OF KIDVENTION"
