On behalf of Expert Village, I'd like to talk about stilt walking. My name is Paul Anderson from the ABC circus and here we are. Now that you've learned stilts, what can you do with it? I've made a career out of it. I walk stilts in festivals, at malls, promotions, along the side of the road. You'd be surprised how often stilts are used. From the super bowl halftimes to movies even. How do you market yourself? Well, you have your stilts. Now you need a costume. You need someone to make some pants because nobody really wants to see the stilt and give the illusion away. You have some costumes made. I would recommend perhaps Uncle Sam first. Fourth of July is a good time for stilt walkers. How many parades have you seen with an Uncle Sam stilt walker? Uncle Sam wants you to market yourself and do a great job. On behalf of Expert Village, I'd like to say thank you for watching.
Thanks, Paul, I enjoyed watching your vids and I hope you never never return the mundane earth. Keep climbing my friend!
