Routines, Tips and Ideas for the Dog Arm Puppet
featuring additional material
by Jeremy Le Poidevin
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.
