The Trick I Use to Calm Stage Fright — and Get Bookings
Kids freeze on stage. They fidget, wander, forget what to do.
Here’s how I fix that — and it books me more shows.
I put one of my collectible business cards on the stage.
When I call them up, I point and say,
“Stand right on that card and face the audience.”
Boom — confidence. Control. No confusion.
After they help, I say,
“That card’s yours to keep — and I’ll sign it after the show.”
Now every kid wants to be picked.
And birthday moms? They love seeing kids line up after the show to meet me.
It’s simple. It works. And it gets me gigs.
