dummy making videos

If you watched my latest video you might have noticed when I show Sam the kobo app he says the title of the book I'm reading is Ventriloquism for Fun & Profit. That is the name of the book that taught Terry Fator what he does in Las Vegas every night. I actually did download that book. It was made by one of my favourite ventriloquists Paul Winchell. I downloaded because it tells me two ways to make ventriloquist dummies. The ebook I got off ebay only told me to how to make the head so I've been looking through a few books lately and trying to figure out the best way to make a dummy. Some people think the best way is with a 3D printer or make them out of fiberglass. I can't afford those things and this book gives me an easier way to do it. If I ever get around to buying all the stuff I need to do it I might make a few videos showing how to make one using the techniques from this book that was made in 1928. And also I found out a while ago that the dummytalkers youtube channel that I made fun of in my third video was deleted. Apparently the channel was about to be banned so someone known as fuzzypickle122 deleted it and than said "ventriloquism is a retarded and kiddish talent so stop complaining and grow up". I disagree with that. Just because you decided to quit ventriloquism, fuzzypickle122 doesn't mean you get to decide to shut down the group for everybody else.

I now have the iPad

A few days ago I got my uncle to buy me the ipad. I got the 16gb wifi one. I didn't want to pay for it monthly so I didn't get the 3G one. Unfortunately I found out later that most people reccomend you get the 32gb or 64gb iPad because the 16gb runs out of memory fast. One of the apps I downloaded is the blogger app so I can update this blog from it. I'm using it right now to type this. In my latest video you can see me showing the iPad to Sam. Incase you can't tell, I didn't really break my iPad in it. It's actually a 3D animation of it being thrown.
