the Ventriloquist character sad song brings the Ventriloquist to actual tears... The sad story the Ventriloquist character tells the Ventriloquist brings the Ventriloquist to real tears. _____________________________________________ When I performed my storyteller Ventriloquist act at the public library when I was young and creative, I would use a trick or a gimmick for up close audiences, yes it's a illusion when being created but it's a trick or gimmick when in process.
