Here’s a video showing Jay Marshall’s Ken Spencer ventriloquist figure and the rolling eyes mechanism.
I was surprised but I received a few questions from different folks wanting to see and know how Walter Walters Jr. kept his figures hanging on the underside of the performance stand so rather than write to each person I decided to photograph and show how he accomplished this set up.
Attached to the back side of the shoulder board he attached what to me look like ordinary kitchen cabinet handles. The on the performance stand center post he attached U shaped brackets on to which those handles would sit.
I was asked about a picture of Frowning Charlie McCarthy by one of our followers here on Ventriloquist Central and I told him I knew that the frowning Charlie was done for a movie but I could not recall which movie it was.
The next day I had an email from him with all the information so I thought I would share it!!
Ventriloquist Chuck Fields sent us this quick note:
Hi Guys,
I was on WGN Chicago’s Morning News this week promoting my appearance at this weekend’s National Day of Puppetry.
All the best,
Chuck Field
Thanks Chuck for sharing this video.
