article: Dressing up is a great way to put yourself in a silly mood. Look for bright colors, loud patterns, and funky shapes. Feel free to mismatch patterns (it’s trendy now) or even wear your clothes backwards!    For women, consider a vintage dress with striped socks, plenty of jewelry, and a huge hairbow. Men can try a comically oversized bowtie with a suit in an unusual color and two different shoes. To create a really silly look, draw your lipstick outside of your lips, paint on bright rouge, and create a dramatic eye with bright eyeshadow and lots of mascara. You can even put glitter on your cheeks or draw on a fake beauty mark. You’re being silly, so rules don’t apply!  For a more socially-acceptable look that will still inspire you to be confident, choose a bright lipstick or exaggerated glittery eyeshadow. Try using hairspray to get your hair to stand straight up, create braids all around your head, or make your hair as messy as you can. If you have thicker hair you can also create an afro by back-brushing your hair until it’s piled up on your head. Don’t worry, you don’t have to commit to anything. Hair chalk, colored hairspray, and hair mascara can put a burst of color into your hair will all usually come out within a couple of washes.  If you don’t want to use temporary hair dye, look for a brightly colored wig, or one with a silly cut, like a “mullet” cut that is shorter in the front and longer in the back. Visit a second-hand store or a specialty shop and look for the most outlandish accessories you can find - think a tie decorated in flamingos or costume jewelry that is obviously fake. If you don’t want to spend any money, try making your own accessories. Pin a small stuffed animal to a headband, make a necklace out of soda can tabs and string, or wear a pool float around your waist for the day.

Carry yourself with poise and confidence when you address the judges. Make a short pitch to an interviewer after your number is called."
article: Open casting calls happen about 5 times a year at different locations throughout the U.S. Keep an eye on that schedule from the beginning of the year to find the best date and location for you. Each listing includes an address and an event schedule.  The casting call schedule is posted at https://abc.go.com/shows/shark-tank/open-call. In 2019, for instance, casting calls happened in Washington, California, Tennessee, Nebraska, Arkansas, and New York. These locations change from year to year. You need to bring a completed application with you to the open audition. The application is similar to the online application but longer. It asks various questions about you and your business or product. Hand the application to the casting team as soon as you arrive at the venue.  Print out the application by visiting https://abc.go.com/shows/shark-tank/applications. Some example questions include “What are the biggest hurdles you have had to face?” and “What will you do with the investment money?” If you are applying with a team of collaborators, each person needs to fill out their own application. The casting crew hands out wristbands when the venue opens. Everyone who shows up in time gets a wristband, although this doesn’t necessarily guarantee you get an audition. The wristbands are all numbered. People with low-numbered wristbands get to audition first.  The crew typically hands out wristbands from 9 to 11 AM, but check the schedule for any changes.  The casting team generally attempts to get through all applicants that arrive at the venue, but keep in mind that this can change at any time. Your application only gets reviewed if you go through the audition process at the open interview unless you submit a separate application online. Be as bold and enthusiastic as you can be. Portray yourself as someone who works hard but knows they belong on TV. Carry yourself in a positive way, such as by standing up straight, looking the judges in the eye, and practicing good conversational skills. Try to stand out, but don’t go overboard with trying to outdo the other potential contestants.  Being a confident entrepreneur means showing poise and answering questions about your business or product with ease while still smiling. Speak in a firm but consistent tone. To stand out among everyone else, know your pitch idea well and show how much it means to you. Bring along a good prototype or other presentation material. You do not need to dress up or do something wild to succeed. If your business is in the idea phase, a great pitch is your best resource. Bring in props like posters showing your idea and how it will function when you finish with it. When you get called, you have about 60 seconds to pitch your idea to a member of the casting team. Focus the pitch on selling your “dream” and showcasing your motivation. Remember, this is a TV show, so the producers look for both great products and great personalities.  If you have a product prototype to show off, bring it with you. You can also bring in computers, props, and other equipment. Give the crew as much of a hands-on preview of your business as possible. Facts and figures are okay to include if they are relevant. However, keep your pitch short and to the point. The boring financial stuff is better left to your paper application.

Turn off the fan and spray diluted rubbing alcohol onto the screen. Place a white towel on the ground and wet it with the alcohol mixture. Remove the screen and allow the mosquitos to fall onto the towel."

Purchase a high-velocity fan from a hardware store and place it in the area where you would like to catch mosquitos. While you can use a box fan, high-velocity fans are more effective because they move a larger volume of air, meaning they will potentially catch more mosquitos. You may need to use an extension cord if you would like to place your fan outside to catch mosquitos. Find a screen with mesh that is too small for a mosquito to pass through and cut it to match the size of your fan. Wrap the edges of the screen around the front of the fan tightly so that they overlap on all sides with the fan's metal frame. Place strong magnets around the frame to firmly fix the mesh in place. If your fan does not have a flat metal frame, you can also use plastic zip ties to secure the mesh to the front of the fan. Turn the fan on and watch it draw in the air. As the fan sucks in air to blow out the front, it will also draw in any nearby mosquitos, trapping them in the mesh screen. Allow the fan to run continuously until you have caught the desired number of mosquitos. Most industrial, high-velocity fans are designed to run continuously so they are safe to leave on for long periods of time. This typically will not damage the fan’s motor. Mix equal parts rubbing alcohol and water then place it in a spray bottle. Spray the rubbing alcohol mixture onto the screen where the mosquitos are caught. The rubbing alcohol will kill the mosquitos. Make sure not to spray the fan’s motor, which is in the center. Just aim for the parts of the screen around the motor. Spray a white towel or paper towels with the diluted alcohol so that it will become a tacky surface. Place the towel directly in front of the fan. The white color is important if you’d like to be able to tell how many mosquitos you have caught. Take off the magnets or any zip ties to remove the screen from the front of the fan. Gently tap the back of the screen with your hand so that the dead mosquitos fall onto your alcohol-soaked towel. Any mosquitos that may still be partially alive will die once they meet the alcohol on the towel.  You can either dispose of the mosquitos in the trash or dump them in the yard. The rubbing alcohol will eventually evaporate so you can also consider leaving the mosquitos out for frogs or lizards to eat. Repeat the process of running the fan and cleaning the screen as many times as necessary.
