Mr. Damon is the first known published author in the art of twisting animal shapes using one balloon.

Most things in this book may be seen as obsolete or common knowledge to today's balloon entertainer\/sculptors, but the student of this art is best served by understanding from where his or her craft began.

Pair any trope with an effect of your choice, and the result will be your own, original routine, guaranteed to leave audiences in hysterics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the twenty-nine tropes, Be More Funny includes twenty-nine fully-scripted and hilarious routines, each one honed in comedy clubs, festivals, variety shows, conventions, and other performance venues for years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoutine highlights include:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Lemon Party.\" The magician attempts to make a vanished bill reappear inside a lemon, but the results are completely unexpected and hilarious.

Christopher brings the Borrowed and Destroyed plot into the modern day by bashing a borrowed vaporizer to pieces during a misguided card trick, much to the chagrin of the volunteer and the hysterics of the audience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\nAlong the way, Christopher also shares forty-two \"Card Force and Reveal\" ideas to demonstrate the versatility of each trope on the list.
