Hi
Friend My name is Mary and I am asked many a time how did I get started or interested in clowning. Well, I guess it started along time ago I have always had the interested in being a clown and would watch them for hours and still do. I had always dressed as a clown as a child for Halloween but never new how to become a clown until one day a friend had invited me to her child's birthday. On the day of the birthday the child became sick and was not able to have his friends over I decided to go over in my dressed as a clown in one of my Halloween outfits and bring over his present. Along the way I stopped for a cake and balloons to much of his parents and his surprise. Well, to make a long story short some of his friends had showed up as well and we had a great time. A year later my young niece had seen some pictures and new it was me in the picture. She had asked why I couldn't be a clown for her party. Well, low and behold off to the local magic (Diamonds Magic Peabody) store I went. When I entered the store I was greeting by Ed Gardner I had asked him if he had any magic that would be easy enough for me to learn. He asked me if I was a new clown in the clown college. Clown College I inquired where do I sign up? From then on is history. I am since a member of Clowns of America International, World Clown Assoc. Society of American Magicians, International Magician Society, As well as I help out with the Society of Young Magicians. I am a Member of Haps Alley an Alley 54 (Salem Ma). I have many different clown characters such as Rainbow, Tilly Lilly, and DR Wee B. Better. I do Jingles the magical elf and Mrs. Claus during the holiday season.
