My secrets on the Ventriloquist birthday party 🥳🎉 business.

ha! ha! I was in middle school about age 13 making more money doing Ventriloquist shows than my friends working at McDonald’s! WOW! I am a old fart today but I look back at my teenage days and say WTF!..I was a young ghetto boy making real money, with my ventriloquist act name vann duke and Sammy. on these workshop notes I will give you my secrets on my birthday shows success..I get paid to perform different places but the birthday party shows was a cash cow for a little eighth grader living in the ghetto.. sometimes in showbusiness you don’t appreciate the dream such as meeting famous people and traveling places of your wildest dream.. I will start at the beginning, when I first started performing my Ventriloquist act it was for family and friends on holidays..next door to the house I grew up in was a preschool called mr.jackson preschool, I would do story book reading to pre school kids with Sammy..to my unbelief the kids from the next door preschool parents was leaving messages on my mother answering machine asking to book vann duke and Sammy for their children birthday party, the preschool kids would go home and could not stop talking about vann duke and Sammy to their mother and father..I learned how to grow the Ventriloquist birthday party business from doing shows at many other preschools and promoting the show at public library, my library show was free but I used it for promoting, the mr.jackson preschool show I never changed it,it was a hot ticket! The mr.jackson preschool show was storytelling with a wisecrack ventriloquist doll named Sammy..I did the mr.jackson preschool skits at many paying preschools that book vann duke and Sammy..I traveled a lot performing the mr.jackson preschool skit, I name the act the mr.jackson preschool act.. the act was easy for this middle school ghetto ventriloquist because Sammy was just acting a fool and kids loved it.. simple, children story books and a ventriloquist doll,WOW!…. 8th grade in showbusiness, getting paid!! my friends were committing crimes to make money, they seen me doing shows and wish for something that I had,my friends in middle school could not believe how much money I was making with my Ventriloquist shows,my friends said they do a crime to make money then two days later they’re back out on the street doing crime to make money, I tell them one show and I am set for weeks,did you hear me I said one show.. think about it,if I am set with one how set am I with five…it was gravy! for this teenage Ventriloquist living in the ghetto. The library shows were free shows that lead to birthday party shows. I learned how to market the birthday party business in middle school,my main business focus was putting preschools and libraries in a circle and the birthday party in center of the circle, preschools paid good money but the birthday parties were the winning ticket for me….in middle school me and my best friends would eat at McDonald’s fast food restaurants and clown the workers when ordering from the expensive food menu, back in the day McDonald’s had a regular menu and another menu with the high price food, as a young ventriloquist living in the ghetto I was well to do,it was gravy, it was gravy with mashed potatoes and butter! I have given you my successful secret of marketing my birthday party shows with my ventriloquist act…I give this secret away because I am retired from live stage shows. I still think about all that cash in middle school I made with Sammy..all that birthday cake I eat and fruit punch to drink..I am so happy that I didn’t have to commit crimes to make money like my friends in middle school..I am honestly telling you, during middle school one day I walked in to the house coming from school and my mother said “vann! boy! you have ten messages on my answering machine!” of course this eighth grader was wondering what the hell is going on,until my mother begin to play every single one of the messages for me to hear. those ten messages were birthday party shows..wow!! WOW!! remember what I said about one show and I am set for weeks!!!.. even if I had one show I never stop hustling in show business, always turning the one show into another one and another one and another one,why? because I didn’t want to end up like my friends in middle school and highschool.. that is my secret,the drive to succeed not to end up a loser or in jail. here you look for a purpose in your life, like I did as a middle school kid living in a poor neighborhood..as a ventriloquist you need to brainstorm often about your art….take notes of theses secrets,every word in these notes are part of the secret from the beginning to the end.
