Re: [Middlebridge] event/demo

Hi Berwyn.

The best demo's I have experienced were done for show. Audience (sp?)
involvement is best. The best time to show them what we "do" is when
they come back for a second look. Don"t waste too much time on the
people who are not very interested. Leave them with a good taste,
explain in more detail only to those who are interested.

Usually, folks create a scenario that they play out. This can often
mean that they really fight but they often know what the outcome of
that fight will be. Some have had the fighters fight for a young lady
in the crowd having arranged for someone to give the youngster a favor
that she can present to the fighter. We often do this when we are
playing it to children.

I have also seen someone demonstrate what is a good blow and what is
not by throwing blows against another who dies dramtically when
killed, and strikes back when he is not.

But play your demo's for laughs and fun!
