For years everyone has talked about how great the original plastic wood was to work with to create our beloved ventriloquist figures.
Well here is a product that you can use to get the same results. Have fun!!

I am very jealous because my good friend Bob Abdou was able to make a stop at my Mentor’s house Bob Isaacson. This is a great picture~!!

Here’s another of ventriloquist Todd Oliver using one of the dummies from the Ventriloquist Central Collection on his recent visit.
This time he’s using the Frank Marshall figure that was carved for ventriloquist Roy Douglas. Later it was owned by Terry Bennett.
Back in the 1940’s and 1950’s a vent by the name of Bob Brethen wrote some great material and I found this by him and thought I would like to share it because it still fits with ventriloquism today. He said ”
The following are not gags in themselves for the most part, but are comebacks for different situations and may be used by the ventriloquist when the situations arise. The quotes are by the figure:
After the dummy has explained something to the ventriloquist he says” Do you follow me or do I go alone.”
The dummy makes a stupid remark and the vent calls him ignorant: “I’m a dummy what’s your excuse?”
On Monday’s blog, I told you about the recent visit of ventriloquist Todd Oliver to see the Ventriloquist Central Collection.
We have a few videos of his visit and here is the first one. In this video Todd is using the Frank Marshall figure that was once owned by Terry Bennett.
