Includes a basic instructional pamphlet "The Seven Simple Steps To Ventriloquism." PLEASE NOTE: The mouth on this doll is operated via a string affixed to the back of the dolls head. Hold the head with one hand and pull the string with your other. If you prefer a dummy that allows for one hand operation and lets you to put your hand in the back and turn the head please take a look at the Lester Standard Upgrade Ventriloquist Dummy.
Willie Tylers rambunctious buddy Lester has become so real to his audiences that when Willie is spotted without him, fans have been known to ask if Lester is ill. With his impish grin and twinkling brown eyes, Goldbergers Lester Ventriloquist Doll looks remarkably well--and perfectly ready to cause some mischief. Hes dressed in a white turtleneck with a tan corduroy vest and plaid flannel trousers. With his matching plaid cap, round wire-rimmed glasses, and unruly hair, Lester looks like an icon of the early 1970s. Hes a fairly lightweight fellow, with a stuffed body and vinyl hands and head. A hidden string pull at the back of his neck works his jaw; it seemed stiff, but its tendency to pull his head back was easily worked out with some practice at positioning the doll. Lester comes with a set of simple instructions for beginning ventriloquists (youll quickly gain an appreciation for the work the pros put into making it look so natural). Hed be a great gift for your favorite show biz buff or would-be ventriloquist. --Julie Ubben
