Restoring old Dummy Posted by Gail on Oct 24, 2011
I just went to Branson MO to see Jim Barber ventrilloquist, he was really great. When I came home I wanted to find a picture of his baby puppet that was so cute but cannot, then I ran across this video of him restoring an old vent puppet. You can see the inside of the head and the mechanisms, I always wondered how they worked.

Restoring an Old Dummy. This is what my Mom says when she buys my Dad a new sweater or pair of pants.
