this i learned from cellini and sonny holliday.
4 things stop people.
color, sound, movement, and breaking the ceiling.
you should be using all of these to build a crowd or more importantly TO HOLD ONE.
suggestions;
pace the full edge back and forth from one side to the other don't be timid.
put your arms in the air [breaking the ceiling]and yell,"watch this"
use what your wearing as props for movement.
bang a stick on the ground, a drum, a cow bell.
have a sign....wave it around.
pace, rant, and rave.
bang a pot.
be annoying.
if you see some one leaving....START PACING and bang your stick honk your horn and watch them walk right back.
create these nervous habits its more interesting believe me
