Hey guys..thanks for the kind words and yes, Waylon Flowers was a terrific puppeteer. We have his "Madam" puppet in the Vent Haven Museum (at least one of his copies..). Kids are sometimes told by adults "This guy is a ventriloquist..so watch his lips to make sure they don't move!" (very similiar to the intro magicians get when the adults say "Watch carefully, this guy may make you disappear!")..so they often watch your lips just for a minute or two..and by that time they are "into" the puppet and don't watch any more. This is a good discussion...I love vents and puppeteers alike.

For those who want to improve their vent techniques, I recommend the "Maher Home Course of Ventriloquism". Mark Wade's "Successful Ventriloquism" (video/DVD) is included with the course. This was the turning point for me, I quickly developed much better technique whilst studying the course.

Thanks, Harris and Potty! I'm glad I had a small part in your success. Vent is a great art, either singularly or combined with magic (or other allied arts). BTW..my wife, Jody, and I are off to Tokyo, Japan this week to do a lecture and show for the JVA (Japanese Ventriloquists' Association ). They are bringing in a Japanese elementary school for me to perform for. Afterward I'll do a show de-briefing lecture on what I just did to the JVA. I'm excited about this!
Also..I will be honored with the "JVA Contributor's Award" for my book "Kidshow Ventriloquism". There is a Japanese edition of the book and it was a best seller for the Japanese vents. Mark Wade http://www.kidshowvent.com |
