Hand Puppets
What is the difference between a normal hand puppet and a ventriloquist’s dummy?
I am selling a gorgeous monkey puppet on eBay just now and describing it as ventriloquist’s dummy too – just wanted to make sure I wasn’t breaking the trade descriptions act or anything. The monkey is 3ft tall and hangs around your neck – you move it’s mouth via a concealed opening under his jumper at the back – so I think it could be used for ventriloquism – what do you think? Thanks janiceelizabeth
You are describing it correctly. Because you can operate its mouth from within plus the operator (ventriloquist) is visible to the public, there you go. It is for a ventriloquist.
If the mouth wasn’t operate from within but for any other external method or the operator was not visible, then it would be an ordinary puppet.
