In an online group for male illusionists (the Male Illusionist Exchange – MIX – on Facebook) there was a post a while back about making sure one’s costume is neat and “odor free” before performing. So true. I’m going to take it to the next level, since costumes are the window to the soul. Or something. Just go with it.
If the entertainer is the gift, then the costume is the wrapping. You always see the wrapping first and you always judge a book by its cover, at least to start. The second you step on stage the first thing people see is what you’re wearing. Make it count! But there are a few things to keep in mind when figuring out what you’re going to wear for a number.
