trials definitely, that age demographic will like it a lot better than
just regular freestyle tricks.

Or some street, so you don't look like a clown, but you are still doing
tricks and don't need to bring any big props with 😄

I suggest not do do many flips.

Many people wont even notice that you just did a crankflip.

Im not saying not to do them, but just a few good impressive ones. Try
to do more spins, because the audience will be able to tell that you
spinning your uni, and also do flatland tricks, like a lot of Xav and
Loics combos would be good to watch.

Try get some trials stuff in there, some pretty big gaps, and jumping
off the stage is always good.

The main thing about performing is, its not about the skill of the
tricks you are doing, its if the audience is enjoying it and having
fun. If your doing big tricks that are extremely hard, and the audience
doesnt care, its not worth it, but if your doing even the most basic
tricks, but making the audience love it, then your doing it right.

Oh yeah, call up a volunteer and jump over him. =p

Crankflips and super-technical stuff is boring to watch for unicyclists
who aren't street obsessives, I reckon it'd be dull as for someone who
didn't know what was going on.

If you can mount a giraffe, that's a fantastic trick in itself. I've
seen someone stretch out mounting a giraffe into a really good 15
minute show.

If you can mount a giraffe and then juggle 3 things on it, that's super
fantastic. If you get someone up from the audience to throw them to
you, that's even better.

Assuming you have a trials too, jumping over people and jumping off the
stage does always look impressive.

If you're doing a bunch of unicycling stuff, talk to the audience about
what you're doing, and play up how hard it is, maybe even mess up a
couple of times on a big trick like mounting a giraffe to make it look
harder.

I guess this might be dangerous but have a 2nd hand uni. And while on
stage let it catch fire with a push of a button. Or do 360 spins while
at the same time creating a small smoke show from the spinning. My list
goes on and on. hahaha

going along with that, you can take match heads, the just burn them and
the ashes are really good for creating friction smoke (rubbing hands,
snapping fingers) so that might work on your tire or something.

Well, those are some good(and some very over-the-top) tips. Now,
commuting on a 20" unicycle? SOMEONE has to have done it. It's a
parade. 🙂 Anyways, I've read unicycling and juggling isn't too hard.
And that you can suicide mount and ride around, show your pain(I hope
it's not a lot...stretch the truth for them, though!) and show the
difficulty by UPD'ing on the tricks. After an almost perfect ride:

Newspaper photographer: But that's easy!

I dared him to try and mount the unicycle using a _post._

Newspaper photographer(after almost falling and not mounting a few
times): Congratulations, Andrea.

So, I suppose you can have some other people try it. Often people are
twice as amazed than at first when they try it themselves! Also, they
often can't resist. :p So you may someone from the audience attempt to
mount a unicycle. And...I dunno...one-footed idling sticking your foot
out(like on a kick) looks better(on shows) than one-foot idling with
the foot in. Wow, that reminds me of the hokey-pokey(sp?) 😕
Anyways, I have not so much advice to give...I have squeezed the last
of my advice out of me...at least the one I remember right now. Post
how it goes! At least PM it to me... 😉 please?

Non-riders are impressed with anything...so show them what you can do.
These tricks are aways good:
Wheel walk
Hand wheel walk
Stand-up wheel walk
Riding one foot
Spins
One foot idling on side
Jump mount
Be sure to have a Q&A time at the end.
Just have fun with it so they want to learn too!
