Ventriloquist Central is the brainchild of Dan Willinger and Steve Hurst. Dan is a ventriloquism enthusiast and ventriloquist figure collector. He has been collecting for over 25 years. He created the Ventriloquist Central Collection. It now has over 100 ventriloquist figures and over 50 of them are Frank Marshall figures. Steve is a ventriloquist as well as builder of ventriloquist figures. He also has a background in sales, marketing, building websites and computers. Because they both love the art of ventriloquism, the website Ventriloquist Central was born. For more information about the website, go to: http://www.ventriloquistcentral.com

Great videos Dan! In response to Randy’s earlier questions , for a full size figure , between 6&1/4 & 7 inches from the top of the head to the chin is a good size. As far as wood goes , feel free to try different woods , but when it comes time to gouge out the head, you will appreciate the softness of basswood . Plus it has a nice even grain that some other woods don’t have. I hope this helps .
