The Magical Dog Arm Puppet

Here’s new magical fun for children & family audiences — a life-size dog puppet who does magic and comedy! Since I brought my sheep dog home from England three years ago, I have used “Sherlock Bones” in hundreds of children’s shows to excellent results. Kids love this dog! He becomes REAL to them! When he magically finds his favorite food card while blindfolded, he even fools adults! My 52-minute DVD teaches the entire routine, plus shares Jeremy LePoidevin’s British routine & tips as well. Additional material includes David Ginn comedy ideas like Hank in Pocket, Change Bag ideas, mouth tricks and a trip to Dog Obedience School. Get your own dog arm puppet and open a whole new chapter in your performing life! — David Ginn
