I am a professional children's entertainer, many years ago I bought a vent puppet and in the privicy of my own bedroom, spent may hours talking to it, it never talked back to me so I put him away to take out on a rainy day.
I was given this book as a present and after a lot of study with it, I now use my puppet in my act, and he has taken on a life of his own. This book is packed full of good ideas, sample scripts and of course, the rudimentary basics of ventriloquism.
When ever somebody asks me how to learn to be a ventriloquist, this is one of the two books I recomend!

I can only assume the other reviews were written by people trying to sell the book.I gave it one star because that is the lowest rating possible.
The book can be summed up as follows;
Stand in front of a mirror and practice speaking without moving your lips and buy a doll to match that voice.
There you go Ive saved you the purchase price and a little over an hour of your life(The time it takes to read it).
The book is printed in large font to flesh it out as in normal font it would have been a pamphlet.
Legend?????More like a bad joke.
He even wastes your time with a chapter on shadow puppets.

The book I purchased was not only exactly what I wanted, but the description was "spot on" ! The service was exemplary, and, being disabled, being able to purchase exactly what I wanted from the comfort of my own home was a bonus. Full marks all round ! :-)
