From Webster's 1828 dictionary:
GASTRILOQUIST (n.) An old-fashioned word for a ventriloquist, or as Webster explains, "one who so modified his voice that it seems to come from another person or place." |

I always thought that a gastriloquist was someone who could fart in a crowd and then successfully have everyone believing it was someone else.
You know the type. P.S. No, it wasn't me. :-0
