It seems that time has come for all of us interested in ventriloquism to finally be able to have our own copy of Bryan Simon’s production called “I’m No Dummy”.

Below is the video I did at the Vent Haven ConVENTion with Marjorie Engesser and Bryan.

Ventriloquist Jay Marshall and His Figures

Posted on January 16, 2010 by Webmaster

OK maybe this one was too easy but identifying the figures may have been a bit hard. The figure on Jay’s right is a Marshall and the figure on his left is a Pinxy. Two great figures used by one of the greats of the past.
