Our venue has been rented out for a future, high profile, high cost speaking engagement. We are anticpating low audience turn out.

 

I need to rig something like a snow or balloon drop over the stage. Although this one need to drop shoes. One at a time. It needs to be well hidden, away from  Secret Service and operated by remote for quick egress by the operator. I would also consider some type of shoe-launcher from the rear of the auditorium. Cannot cause any type of injury to the speaker and I would want it to aim just over his head, then to the left, then the right, then randomly around the speaker.

 

Any ideas?

 

(No, none of this is true. And I would try to dig up any professionalism I have if it were. But let a man dream!)
