Articles About Ventriloquists And Ventriloquism

Posted on March 29, 2009 by Webmaster

With the current popularity of Jeff Dunham and his Comedy Central deal, along with Terry Fator performing at the Mirage in Las Vegas, articles about ventriloquists and ventriloquism seem to be everywhere.

Over the past few days I saw these articles and in case you missed them, thought I would share them with the Ventriloquist Central readers.

 

This is a nice article about Dave Parker of Marquette, MI.

Ventriloquist, dummies entertain at Arenac Eastern

 

Next up is a wonderful article about Edgar Bergen and Charile McCarthy and their radio days:

Contemporary Collectibles: Charlie McCarthy was no dummy

 

Last, but certainly not least is an article and video about a regular contributor to Ventriloquist Central, Val Hilliker and her work with the Virtues Project:

Character Education through ventriloquism

 

I hope you enjoy these articles.

An Incredible Cutting Device

Posted on March 27, 2009 by Webmaster

Johnny Hicks, a McElroy lover, has been working in the shadows on McElroy figures and has been in close connection with Greg Claasen on a project of his own.

In this endeavor he has come to put together a machine which will cut the slot jaw on a figure perfectly and Johnny has given me permission to put this video up on my blog for all to see.

It was originally made for Greg’s eyes only but now everyone can see this unique machine which Johnny has built. I hope you enjoy this and also realize the amount of work that Johnny put into this device.
