hi all
i have been here for bout six months, and finally decided to do an intro.
hi, im pete, petey, pineapple pete and various other things. born 5 / 4 / 89. living in melbourne.
I do alot of poi, bit of staff, bit of doubles, cross staff and fire eating. i want to learn rope dart, flynt got me hooked, and im tryin to self teach 3 section staff.
I like: fire, magic, juggling and all things musical
dislikes: seafood *ick*
ive been doing magic for a bit over a year now. i do alot of sleight of hand card magic, aswell as coins and anything else i can get my hands on.
in my spare time i like to do escapology. I can pick my way out of a pair of US police handcuffs in under 10 seconds, and get out of a straight jacket underwater
thanks for reading me,
cheers, pete

wooo!! i did my first actual performance in a club last night. it was the biggest rush ive ever had, i got a heap of applause too. it was an espionage themed night... so i was in a suit, cigar in mouth just for giggles.
still waiting on my new gear, there was a delay because they were out of my size straight jacket, but it should be here before next weekend
cheers, pete

Trying to think up another escape for you, but so far it's a bit of a blank. I'm kind of thinking cage and tiger, but not sure you've got the props..
How's things sir?

thanks ry, any help is muchly appreciated. a cage / cell could actually be a nice idea. a tiger though may be quite difficult.
things are going good. had a sleepover with the flyntress on the weekend, go to catch up with all the leaning housers, so it was great to have a chill out. am starting to work my new toys into some new acts im designing, aswell as planning a new fire orb routine, like nothing seen before.
Im thinking of going for a walk through the bourke street mall in full shackles, handing out flyers or something, might post a few small posters here and there too.
whats new with you sir?
cheers, pete

A new fire orb routine like never seen before?? Sounds interesting! I'm thinking invisible thread has something to do with it
Actually, I'm kind of thinking of something involving flash paper and a fire orb. And a dove! Might be getting a bit ambitious..
Not much too new on this end.. I've got Mr. Biggins over from Adelaide for a day or two? And he's in your bed hehe. Well not at the moment.. he's gone off to work, but will prolly be back just in time for juggle. Hoping to learn some short doubles from him hopefully
Tigerbalm?

flynt: na, it appears i dont have any shampoo.
kitty: yup, miles ahead of you... have already worked out how im going to make an escape almost exactly the same as that one, but its done in full view of the audience
sooOOoo... when did you say youre coming to melbourne?
ry: yeh, ive been putting a fair bit of thought towards it, probably will treat it as an invisible thread routine, but hotter. may even add part of 'the hummingbird' routine into it too
hmm, a flash paper production could be nice, turning the fireball into something else could be quite nice too, ill have to ponder this.
hehe, tigerbalm.. i should get around to buying some.
cheers, pete

I suck at handstands.
I'm good at handsprings.
I have some form of deformity in my shoulders that alows me to NOT dislocate my shoulder in a situation where it would usually O.o
Acrobalance is fun. I'm a base, thats a good thing.
