I never had to perform a trick to get my treats -- sounds like a fun tradition, though. I did discover one year, when I had a costume "malfunction" and had to run home to have mom fix it, that when I went back out on my own, people gave me MORE candy. I guess they felt sorry for poor little old me out there Trick or Treating all by myself. I hit the candy jackpot that year. :-)
BTW Curtis, what's your sister Cammie up to these days? I worked with her many lifetimes ago when we were both Ayurvedic techs in pink cotton uniforms. Very sweet and gracious woman.
