“What is your biggest challenge keeping the kids engaged and also what do you do to get the adults involved in whatever you do?”
Keeping the children engaged. Paying attention to them is the very best thing you can do for a kid.
For a parent. Giving the kids an amazing experience will make the parents happy. Understanding the adults experience will help you to be engaged with them.

Is changing your name important? Many entertainers use a codename or a stage name for a show. If it explains your personality and it brings smile to people’s faces then your name is cool. However, there are some important things to consider in choosing a name.
1) It is important that your website name matches your stage name.
2) Check with muggles because they respond differently.
3) We have 9 pages with all sorts of names that you can download.
4) Also make sure that no other entertainer is using the same name.
Hot Topic: Working for Tips. Is that cool or not cool?
For Annie, If you’re seriously busking and if in your area there’s a lot of buskers then that’s okay!
For Zivi, if you’re that brave and that talented to do busking – it’s cool to work for tips.
