Not a skit book, but a handy book for creating your own props! Transform common people into superheroes, movie stars, witches -- whatever illusion you want to create. Creative costuming is all in the details. In addition to a complete section of costuming, you'll learn how to accessorize your show by modifying existing items: hats and headpieces, masks, wings, jewelry and much more. The props section includes armor, thrones, dinnerware, Native American props and more. Over the years, the author has learned tons of tricks about how anyone can turn leftover clothing into fabulous costumes at a minimum expense. Little or no sewing, but it assumes you know your way to a craft or fabric store.
