During the course of the workshop you'll see us share material that we actually use in our shows. This material happens to also be products that we sell. It is NOT our intent that this be a dealer show. Our hope is that you will learn about what we do through these examples and more importantly how and why we do it. We are sincere in this - especially me.

We'll be sharing how everything works as well, another thing that separates what we do from a dealer lecture. This gives you a first hand look at the creative thinking behind how we came up with these routines: the how's, what's and why's.

So those are our goals in showing you some of our routines and the thinking behind them along the way. Should you like some of these routines well enough to add them to your kids and family shows, then we're honored. That's the second reason we created them. If not, then there's plenty that can be learned or reinforced by simply seeing how these routines are scripted and presented, as well as the thinking behind them. We can always find another way to put the kids through college.

- Your family can come with you for FREE! Since Tim and Barry do kid and family shows, some of the material requires them have audience participation. With your registration, your spouse can attend with you along with your well-behaved children. If we don't have any children present, we'll just ask some adults to act like well-behaved children. This is easier for some than for others!

- Bring a notebook and a pen or pencil. There will be a few exercises where you'll need to write down some thoughts. You won't have to share with the group unless you choose do, but you'll want to record your thoughts none the less. You also may hear or see something you want to write down.

- Be ready to THINK. Together we'll be doing some creative thinking exercises. Be prepared to exercise your grey matter. It doesn't hurt to bring your thinking or imagination caps. If you forget yours - or worse - you don't have one, you can borrow one of ours. We always carry an extra!
