Tito Wanlu,I would suggest the breakapart skelton.He is easier to manipulate and it's very magical to see him come apart and joining himself together again.
You can use it for ministry(ezekiel's bones) and for family shows as well.
It's also very easy to find songs for it.

My 11 yr old son is having a great time with the new marionette...

Give him a few more weeks and I'll post a new video with better manipulation

Hi Wanlu,I hope you are having fun entertaining the people with yr new Juggler and the Mummy.
I started off my puppeteering career with the juggler and he's always my opening act.Since than I've made only three and one of them is in yr hands.
Have fun!!
Frankie

Contact the Bob Baker Marionette Theatre in Los Angeles. They make and sell marionettes. They have a website with marionettes for sale online. Good luck!

I hope to see and try Wanlu's marionettes from Frankie one of this days.

Looks Great!
Ivan has got moves!

Thanks Eddie

He needs to practice daily...specially with the mummy and juggler marionettes.

Loved the reaction when Elvis turned to shake his fanny at the kids ! You could hear them laughing.

It amazes me when you post these videos of the elaborate parties at the venues you work ! There is nothing like these where I live. Must be glorious getting to perform where birthdays are that big an event....

Mark,
Here in the Philippines, particularly in Manila, children's birthday parties are a big deal for parents--especially at age 1 and 7. Parents really plan and spend much just to be able to give their kid a special day.

That's why we usually have "elaborate" parties here, as you said.

It must be marvelous ! We have party-type restaurants here, like Chuck E Cheeses, but they have never been very accomodating with the local entertainers. They like to do everything in house to make more profit. There is a privately owned theme park here where I live, and they are the same way. They frown on local entertainers coming in for parties. They want the parents to pony up more cash for other options they offer, rather than bringing in entertainment.

I hope those birthday venues are a trend that catches on here in the states, as they look like a birthday magician's dream venue ! I can't get over the size of the crowds on those videos....

Kiddie parties here are big. People spend a lot of money in decorartions and entertainment

This one was held in a big stadium
