Blue (or green) screen studio mockups are a big hit. Our local TV weather
people built one for us, with a set of push buttons to give different
backgrounds (sunny beach, snowstorm, hurricane, and weather map). Ours is
blue and we keep a couple of "invisibility cloaks" AKA blue shirts hanging
next to it. You need a camera and a monitor that you can look up at while
you are in studio and then you need a larger monitor for others to see you
on stage. Email me off-list if you want some pictures of our setup.
