Regarding chainsaws, I tried something that seemed to work pretty well.  I
had my son's Fisher Price (plastic) chainsaw in my juggling bag with the
blade extended.  On the blade I had a real chainsaw cover with "Stihl" (sp?)
on it.  In addition, I had a can of gasoline (empty) nearby.   All during
my performance, people (especially guys) kept asking "When are you going
to do the chainsaw?".  Eventually, as I reached down to grab the chainsaw
for my finale, I started a tape player in my bag which had about 15 seconds of
blank tape followed by the recorded sound of a REAL chainsaw.

I juggled two balls and the plastic chainsaw with the audio background
and they LOVED it.
