As I was loading my van today to do a 1st person historical fur trade presentation, I had an idea to use with my Magic Drawing Board. I could draw a picture of a beaver pelt, the kind that is stretched on a round willow hoop. The pelt could explain how the beaver was caught. Why the fur was wanted and how it was prepared. It could also say that it really preferred to be on the beaver but since that now is impossible it will be pleased to be a fine, expensive fur felt hat.

That's what I love about the Magic Drawing Board. If someone says, "Do you have anything about ______?" you can reply, I draw a picture of _______ on a white board and then the picture starts to talk!

The magic drawing board is the instant theme puppet! The other day I decided to start the show with it as people came over the the children's area of a festival. I put on a song and began to draw a face. Before the song was over the picture came alive and started mouthing the words! So you don't even have to write a new skit for a new theme, if you already know of a song! (Copywrites may apply.)

Right on Tony. I'm thinking about getting Band In A Box to make music and use the pause device from Steve Jones Productions. How do you make your music and control it?
