I would like to share this puppet script with you, a nice story about a dog and elephant and their friendship. Hope you would like it :)

Characters:

• Narrator
• Dog
• Elephant
• Elephant-Keeper
• King
• Minister

SCRIPT:

Narrator: Once upon a time, there was a royal elephant that lived in the premises of the king’s palace. The elephant was very dear to the king, so he was cared, well-fed and well-treated. There was a Dog who used to live in the neighborhood of the Elephant shed. He was very weak and skinny. He was always fascinated by the smell of the rich sweet rice being fed to the royal elephant.

Dog: Wow, I love that rich aroma of the rice. I can not resist that smell! I will get into the Elephant´s Shed and eat the sweet rice that falls from the Elephant´s mouth.

Narrator: And so he did.

Dog: I will start coming daily to eat the rice. Anyway, the elephant hasn´t even notice me, because he´s so busy enjoying his delicious food.

Narrator: The Dog became bigger and stronger by eating such rich food. He came under the notice of the Elephant.

Elephant: Who are you? How long have you been here?

Dog: Hmmmm I just got here.

Elephant: I can share my food with you. Would you like some?

Dog: Sure, why not! It looks delicious.

Elephant: It is, wait till you taste this sweet rice. Mmmm it´s so good.

Dog: I can see that.

Narrator: Soon, both of them also started sharing time with each other and soon, they made good friends.

Elephant: Come here everyday to eat, you are my best friend. And you can also stay here to sleep.

Dog: Thank you, I accept your invitation. You are also my best friend.

Narrator: So, they ate together, slept together and played together. They became great friends and didn’t want to get separated from each other. Then one day, a man saw the Dog and asked the Elephant-keeper.

Man: I want to buy this Dog. What price do you want for the Dog?

Elephant-keeper: The dog is not mine, but I will sell it to you.

Man: It´s a deal.

Narrator: The man took the dog to his home village, which was quite far away.

Elephant: I am very sad, my dear friend is gone. I miss him so much. I don´t want to eat anymore. I don´t want to do anything.

Narrator: The Elephant-keeper reported this to the King, but he didn’t say anything about the Dog.

King: I´ll see what I can do. Minister! Come this instant.

Minister: Yes, my king. What can I do for you?

King: Go to the Elephant shed and find out the reason for the Elephant’s condition.

Minister: Right this instant, my king.

Narrator: The intelligent minister went to the Elephant shed and found the Elephant very sad. He looked the Elephant all over and asked the Elephant-keeper.

Minister: There is nothing wrong with this Elephant’s body, then why does he look so sad? I think he is sad possibly due to the loss of a dear friend. Do you know if this Elephant shared a close friendship with anyone?

The Elephant-keeper: There was a Dog who used to eat, sleep and play with the Elephant. He has been taken by a stranger three days ago.

Minister: Where is the Dog?

Elephant-keeper: I don’t know.

Narrator: The minister went back to the King and said.

Minister: Your majesty, in my opinion, the royal Elephant is not sick, but he is lonesome without his dear friend, the Dog.

King: You’re right, friendship is one of the most wonderful things of life. Do you know where that Dog is?

Minister: Elephant-keeper has informed that a stranger took him away and he didn’t know about his whereabouts.

King: How can we bring back my Elephant’s friend and make him happy again?

Minister: Your Majesty, make a declaration, that whoever has the dog that used to live at the royal Elephant’s shed will be penalized.

Narrator: The King did the same and the man who took the dog, instantly turned him loose when he heard the proclamation. When the Dog got free, he ran back as fast as he could to reach the Elephant’s shed.

Elephant: Oh I am so delighted to see you!

Dog: Me too. I missed you so much. You are my only friend.

Narrator: The elephant picked his friend with his trunk and made him sit on his head. The Dog waved his tail, while the Elephant’s eyes sparkled with happiness.

King: I am glad to see that the Elephant is happy once again. Minister, you will be rewarded for your wise judgment.

Narrator: And both, the Elephant and the Dog lived happily thereafter.

Hi, Hope you all had a great weekend. Today I would like to share another puppet script with you, it involved a Dragon, King, his daughter and a peasant boy. This script can be used with a variety of puppets, you can use the dragon latex puppet from all pro puppets in this script.


Characters:

• Narrator
• Phillip
• Mary
• King
• Village Mayor

Dragon from the old castle

SCRIPT:

Narrator: Once upon a time a long time ago in a land far, far away, a small village had finished the harvest and began to celebrate. Thanks to the abundant harvest there was much food and drink. There was music and dancing. A boy named Phillip was the strongest and most handsome in the village and the girls stood in line to dance with him. But late in the evening, a new girlcaught his eye.

Phillip: (to audience) Who is she?

Narrator: But nobody recognized her. But that didn’t stop Phillip He asked her to dance. She was as smitten with him as he was with her.

Phillip: What’s your name?

Mary: I am Mary.

Phillip: You’re not from around here, are you?

Mary: No.

Phillip: Where are you from?

Mary: From somewhere else.

Narrator: They danced every dance without resting for the rest of the night. And they fell in love. Suddenly, there was a loud thundering of horses’ hoofs outside.

Mary: (nervous) I must leave.

Phillip: No, stay. The music is still playing! Let’s dance!

Narrator: Suddenly, all the doors in the room were kicked open at once and soldiers with swords and spears rushed toward Phillip and Mary. Then, everyone in the room bowed down.

Phillip: What’s going on?

King: Take your hands off my daughter!

Narrator: The soldiers pulled Phillip away from Mary and threw him to the floor, then they pointed their swords and spears at his face.

Mary: (crying) Father, please, don’t hurt him!

Narrator: Phillip was confused.

Phillip: The king is your father?!

Narrator: The king didn’t let Mary answer. He pointed his finger at Phillip’s nose and shouted.

King: You stay away from my daughter!

Phillip: But… I want to marry her!

King: (laughing) You think I would let a peasant boy, a farmer, marry my daughter?!

Phillip: Why not?… I love her and she loves me.

King: Silly boy! A princess can’t marry a common person. A princess may only marry a nobleman or a knight or a rich man!

Narrator: Then the king grabbed Mary by the arm and pulled her toward the door.

Phillip: (shouting) Your majesty, if I become rich, may I have your daughter’s hand in marriage?

Narrator: The king stopped and turned. He stroked his chin and smiled and said.

King: I tell you what. There are millions of dollars worth of gold and jewels in the treasury at the old castle. If you go there and return the crown jewels to me, you may keep the rest of the gold and jewels and you may marry my daughter.

Phillip: That’s what I’ll do then! King: (laughing) We’ll see, we’ll see!

Narrator: Then the king and the princess left with the soldiers and rode away. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. All eyes turned toward Phillip.

Phillip: Why is everybody looking at me?

Village Mayor: Do you realize what you just said?

Phillip: What? Village Mayor: You just told the king you would go to the old palace and bring back the royal treasure.

Phillip: Sounds easy to me.

Village Mayor: Do you know why the king abandoned the old palace?

Phillip: Why? Village Mayor: Because a dragon built his nest there!

Phillip: A dragon?! Why would the king send me after the royal treasure if he knew there was a dragon living there?!

Village Mayor: Because he doesn’t want you to marry his daughter. He wants the dragon to breathe fire upon you!

Narrator: Phillip stood up, dusted himself off and walked toward the door.

Phillip: I don’t care, I love Mary. And I’m going to do everything I can to marry her, even if it kills me!

Narrator: The next day Phillip started out toward the old palace. Then, he found out that just getting there was no easy trip. It was a hundred miles away, over snow covered mountains and dangerous rivers.

Phillip: (talking to himself) I have to go on, even if I didn´t bring winter clothes.

Narrator: So, by the time he climbed to the top of the snow covered mountains he was freezing to death. As he began climbing down the other side of the mountain, he fell and his body rolled and rolled and rolled down the mountain. But he didn’t feel a thing. He was knocked out by the fall. He didn’t wake up until he rolled into an ice cold river.

Phillip: Ouch! I am too weak and cold to swim. I have to just let the roaring water sweep my body along.

Narrator: When Phillip was sure he would drown or freeze to death, the icy river emptied into an even faster moving river.

Phillip: Oh no! I lost the sword I brought to slay the dragon. Now I will be defenseless against the dragon. But at least this river had warmer water.

Narrator: After a few minutes, Phillip’s body warmed up andhe was able to swim and stay afloat. He swam to the other sideof the river and hauled himself out of the water.

Phillip: Now I see the high stone walls of the castle.

Narrator: He also saw patches of the green grass that had been blackened by the firey breath of the dragon.

Phillip: (astonished) These must be the skeletons of the men who died trying to capture the king’s treasure.

Narrator: Suddenly, Phillip heard the loud thumping and swishing of the dragon’s huge wings.

Phillip: I must find cover in a hollow log!

Narrator: The hollow log caught fire but Phillip was unharmed.

Phillip: I have to wait here until the sounds of the dragons wings fade away.

Narrator: Then he crawled out of the hollow log and watched it burn as he thought and thought of a way to get by the dragon and get to the treasure without being burned to a crisp.

Phillip: I must find out where the dragon’s nest is! Wait, was is that over there? It´s the treasury, where the king’s treasure is stored.

Narrator: Next, Phillip borrowed a scarecrow from a nearby corn field. In the darkest part of the night he sneaked the scarecrow inside the palace and up to the top of the wall opposite the treasury in plain site of the dragon.

Phillip: What´s this? I found a barrel! I will cut the top off the barrel and I will sneak it up as close to the dragon as possible.

Narrator: Then he climbed into the barrel and fell asleep. Next morning he was awakened by the loud thumping and swishing of the dragon’s huge wings. As expected, when the dragon awoke, he thought the scarecrow on the palace wall was a man. He flew toward the scarecrow at top speed.

Phillip: Now that the dragon is not watching me, I will quickly climb out of the barrel and carry it to the treasury.

Narrator: He opened the double doors to the treasury and carried the barrel inside just as the scarecrow was burning to a cinder. Then, he stepped out of the treasury and shouted.

Phillip: Hey, dragon, over here. Come and get me.

Narrator: Hearing that, the dragon turned and flew at top speed toward the treasury as Phillip dived out of sight into the treasury. When the dragon landed and poked his head through the treasury doors, Phillip covered the dragon’s head with the barrel. When the dragon breathed fire, the barrel directed the fire at the dragon himself. The dragon burned himself to a crisp.

Phillip: It´s all over. I will return home and ask the king for the hand of Princess Mary in marriage.

King: Absolutely not! I told you, a Princess may only marry a nobleman, a knight or a rich man. You are a peasant.

Phillip: Not anymore!

Narrator: He clapped his hands and his servants brought in a wooden treasure box. Phillip opened the treasure box and show the king the crown jewels.

King: Where did you get that?

Phillip: Where you sent me. The old palace.

King: But what about the dragon?!

Phillip: I slayed the dragon. And now I am a very rich man.

Princess Mary: (enters stage and hugs Phillip) Thank you for what you did for me!

Narrator: Church bells rang and choirs sang as the king dubbed Phillip to be a knight in shining armor and then the king immediately gave Phillip the hand of Princess Mary in marriage. And they all lived happily ever after.

Construction/Building jokes

 Hi everyone!
Today I would like to share some construction/building/workers jokes with you. Hope you would enjoy them. You can also add some of your owns in comments section, I would really appreciate that.

Construction jokes

Two stupid carpenters were working on a house. The one who was nailing the siding on would pull a nail out of his pouch and look at it. Then he would either use it, or throw it over his shoulder. The other one saw him doing this, and asked, "Why are you throwing all those nails away?"

The first said, "Those nails are defective. The point is on the wrong end, pointing away from the wall." The good ones I use.

The second carpenter said, "You dope! Those nails aren't defective! They're for the other side of the house!"

Script for 3 Pigs latex puppets

(Scene One)
Narrator: Once there were three very peculiar, little pigs. They were brothers. One brother loved to eat, one loved to sing and dance. The other brother was, well he was practical. On this particular day two of the pigs, Higgle and Wiggle, were getting ready to build their new houses.



Higgle: (from off stage) Come on, Wiggle, get away from that window. You've already eaten six bubble gum ice cream carrots, twenty chocolate covered corn cobs, and who knows how many potato peel malts! Now stop looking at that candy in the window and come along. We must get to the fields and build our new houses. Brother Walter has almost finished his brick house and we haven't even started yet.



Wiggle: (Higgle and Wiggle enter) Walter is a boar.



Higgle: It's true. Walter doesn't even know how to sing or dance the way his very talented brother does. (Higgle begins to sing and dance around the stage) It seems to me that all Walter ever thinks about is that dumb old brick house of his. (Wiggle nods)After all, Mother split her meager fortune so that we could go out into this cruel, hard world and live better lives than her own poor, undernourished, underfed, half-starved, famished...



Wiggle: (during last speech Wiggle has begun to sob louder and louder until he finally interrupts Higgle) Ah, don't worry Mom, I'll eat a million peppermint parsnips just for you.



Higgle: There, there Wiggle. I think the parsnips will have to wait. It's time to go build our houses. Now you go that way,(gestures toward one side of the stage) and I'll go this way.(gestures toward the other side of the stage) And I'll come visit you when you've finished your house.



Wiggle: (begins to walk off his side of the stage) You know, thinking of Mom always makes me hungry. I'll start building as soon as I eat a little snack.



Higgle: (watches Wiggle walk off stage) Good luck, Wiggle. Now let's see, before a pig can find the right place to build a house, he must sing a song and dance a little dance. Build one, cha cha cha, build two, cha cha cha. (hums as he exits)



Hugo: (just as the pigs exit, Hugo pops up center stage and looks slowly from one side of the stage to the other. There you go Hugo, you very clever, masterful, marvelous, handsome and oh so hungry wolf, you. (looks at audience) Did you see those fat juicy little pigs? Um, um, um, um um! What tasty suppers they would make. (begins to pace) A plan, I must come up with a plan. (stops)I've got it! I'll use the old huff and puff trick. I bet with a little practice I'll be eating a fresh piggy for supper. (takes a loud breath and blows loudly, everything including stage shakes) Haven't lost the old touch. Well now, let's see, should I start with this pig? (starts off stage right) Or maybe that pig? (doubles back stage left)Hmmmm, oh it hardly matters, before the end of the night I'll serve them both (chuckles) to myself. (walks off same side of stage as Higgle) Here piggy, piggy. Here you cute little piggy you.
(end of scene one)



(Scene Two)

Narrator: Higgle and Wiggle worked and worked on their houses. At least they worked as hard as Higgle and Wiggle could.



Wiggle: (from off stage, sounds of hammering and Wiggle's shout as he hits and hurts his thumb. Wiggle and the house rise on stage slowly) Ouch! Well now, that's what I call a house rising. (laughs)And that's what I call a pretty fine house. (Wiggle begins inspecting house) Yep, best straw money can buy. You know, I think it's time to go inside to eat a well deserved snack. (Wiggle walks around behind house so he is not visible to audience; then goes down stage.)



Hugo: (enters, sees the house, nods to audience, looks back at house) Hummm. The question is, how does a clever wolf get the pig out of the house? Ha! I've got it. (clears throat) Ding dong, ding dong... ice cream, real fresh ice cream. Come get your ice cream while it's good and cold. Come and get it.



Wiggle: (peers out from around the house) Ice cream? (sees Hugo)Why that's a wolf, and he doesn't have any ice cream at all. He's just trying to get me out of my house so he can eat me for supper. Well, I'll show him that I'm not any dumb old pig. (yells to Hugo)Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin. Mr. Wolf, I'm going to stay here in my safe little house until you go away!



Hugo: Safe little house? (laugh) Don't make me laugh. If you won't come out then I'll have to huff and puff and blow your house down. (takes a huge breath; Wiggle should be right behind house on stage; Hugo blows and the house disappears in a very quick, straight downward motion; Wiggle is left just standing there; he looks down, looks left then right; runs off stage) Hey, no one ever told me that pigs could run. (Hugo runs after Wiggle) You big bundle of lard, you come back here right now!
(end scene 2)



(Scene Three)

Narriator: Well, it looks to me like Hugo may have a little bit harder time catching the pigs than he first thought. Let's check in on Higgle and see how he is coming along with his house.

Higgle: (standing beside twig house) Figaro, figaro, figaro...home sweet home, home sweet home, home sweet home...

Wiggle: (enters running) Higgle, oh Higgle! The wolf is after me! The wolf is after me! Where can we hide?

Higgle: Now don't you worry about a thing, little Wiggle. I've built a fine, strong house. Just come on inside and relax. No one will get us here. (while delivering the last line the two pigs disappear into Higgle's house)

Hugo: (Pops up on stage, laughs) Clever, clever wolf. By letting the first one go, I've laid a trap to catch two in one blow. Piggies, piggies, don't be clowns. If you don't come out, I'll huff and puff and I'll blow your house down. (laughs)

H & N: Not by the hair on our chinny chin chins.

Hugo: Okay kids, you asked for it. (huffs with great drama; same action as before with house disappearing in quick, clean action)You're not going to get away from me this time! (Wiggle starts to run, Hugo follows; Higgle chases them both and bumps into Hugo from the back; Hugo stops and turns around) Oh, a wise guy, huh? (takes off after Higgle; Wiggle repeats the bump in the back trick)

Wiggle: Na na na na na. (Hugo chases Wiggle off stage; Higgle follows them both; all three come running back; Hugo is in the lead and the pigs are chasing; Hugo keeps running off the stage)

Higgle: Whew! That was too close for comfort. Come on, Wiggle. Walter will know what to do. (both pigs run off stage in the opposite direction from Hugo's exit)

Hugo: (returns on stage from the same side he exited) Now where did those pigs go? (follows pigs off stage running)
(end scene three)

Walter: (standing beside his house) Let's see. I'll put the garden in over here. And the garage in over there. And... (Higgle and Wiggle enter running and out of breath)

Higgle: Oh Walter, you have to save us!

Wiggle: THE WOLF IS AFTER US....

Higgle: AND HE HUFFS AND PUFFS AND HOUSES JUST FLY ALL OVER THE PLACE!

Wiggle: Walter, he's big and ugly...and he's very hungry.

Walter: Hello Higgle, hello Wiggle. Fine weather we're having. You two seem a bit upset. Why don't you come inside and we'll talk it over. (Walter leads into the house; Higgle and Wiggle follow)

Higgle: And he was saying naughty things about pickled pig's feet.

Wiggle: And roasted pork ears. Walter, he is a very bad wolf.

Hugo: (enters laughing) Three little pigs. Count them--one, two, three. One for my appetizer, one for my main course and one just for dessert. Yum, yum, yum. (toward house) Okay, you in there. That's right, I'm talking to you pigs! Come on out. There's no reason to fight me any more. I'm too strong and powerful... not to mention hungry. So come on out right now.

All Pigs: Not by the hair of our chinny chin chins.

Hugo: (huffs and puffs with all his might)

All Pigs: (giggle loudly)

Hugo: (huffs and puffs with all his might again)

All Pigs: (giggle louder than the first time)

Hugo: (huffs and puffs with all his might one more time)

All Pigs: (giggle as loud as they can)

Hugo: (shaking with rage) Ohhh those pigs! (stops) But wait, I have an idea. (disappears off stage, sounds of grunting and groaning; he appears on top of the house from back) Hugo, you are so clever, so clever.. (goes over to chimney, looks in, looks at his own body, then back in chimney) You know, they just don't build chimneys the way they used to. Oh well, here goes. (falling sound, then ganging and chattering; wolf disappears behind house; the following chase scene takes place back stage; it can be as long and as loud as your imagination makes it)

Hugo: Come back here, you pig, you.

Higgle: Gotcha.

Hugo: Ouch, why you....

Walter: Hey, who turned out the lights?

Higgle: Gotcha.

Wiggle: Let go of me, you nit wit.

Higgle: Oh, sorry.

Hugo: Here piggy, piggy, piggy.....piggy.

All Pigs: Ah Ha. We Gotcha! (they all come out of the house, pigs are all upright and proud; Hugo is slumped over..order is Walter, Hugo, Higgle Wiggle)

Higgle: Well, what do we do with him now?

Wiggle: Why don't we build a cage and keep him for a pet?

Walter: Hold it, hold it, hold it! The only things you two are going to build are houses. And this time you are going to build them right. Understand?

Higgle: Yes Walter.

Wiggle: Yes Walter.

Walter: And as for the wolf, we are going to take him to the zoo where he can't do anyone else harm.

Hugo: (looks towards the audience) I wonder if they serve good lunches there!

Walter: Tut, tut, come along now. Let's go.

The end.

5 Great tips for a live magic show

Hi everyone!

As a performer I strongly feel that magicians are an important part of our community. Today I would like to share some helpful tips for a live magic show with you. A friend of mine, who is a magician himself, helped me write this post:

Practice as much as you can. Believe me, this is the main key to success. Practice helps makes your tricks polished, flawless and perfect in front of your audience. It doesn't matter how difficult a trick is, all that matters is how perfectly you executed it in front of your audience, something that can only be achieved through constant practice.

Keep your eyes on the audience. Keeping your eyes on your cards or props the entire time will not make a good impression on your audience. Keeping eye contact will help you understand your audience.

However don't just look at your audience the entire time, interact with them while you perform. Try to start a conversation and keep them engaged, make them a part of your act by asking for volunteers. Again this is something that can only come through practice and experience.

Try to create and maintain a sequence in your performance. Your tricks must be structured, where one trick would lead to another and so on. You can achieve this through the usage of a story or theme. Saving your best tricks for the end of the show is also a great idea.

Keep the anticipation alive. Always give the impression that something even greater is coming next. This helps you prevent anticlimax in your shows and keeps the audience on their feet, eagerly anticipating the next trick.

Illusion, distraction and misdirection are your best friends. They are as much a part of a magician's tools as his/her props are. If employed properly they will give your performance that final push towards perfection.

Please give your feedback :) 

For Ventriloquists: How to change your voice

For a ventriloquist its very important to change the voice and have a distinct and different voice for each character. Today i am going to show you some of the tips that would help you change your voice according to your characters.

You can make it higher like Mickey Mouse type voice. (This is called a falsetto voice)
You can make it lower like Santa Claus. (Ho, Ho, Ho)
It can be gravely like Oscar the Grouch. (Hey, who knocked on my can?)
Sweet and soft like Snow White.
Bumpkin, like Goofy.

The most important thing is to make it different than your own. This will make your puppet stand out on its own. You also need to give your puppet a character. All that means is if your puppet likes baseball or dancing, camping or anything that you like. This will give your audience a good idea of your puppets character. Once you have created a character you then need to make it come alive by movement. This is also called manipulation. Your puppet needs to move like it's real. A good way to do this is to practice in front of a mirror or video camera. Make sure that the puppet is constantly moving in a natural motion. If you are looking in one direction have the puppet look in another direction. Make it look quickly to one side and open and close the mouth even if it's not saying anything. Move its body and arms as a real person would.

Once you have a good voice and good manipulation then its time to try ventriloquism.

The most important thing about ventriloquism is to try not to move your lips. There are ways to practice this, in our alphabet there are letters that make your lips come together. These letters are B-F-M-P-V-W.

If you place a pencil in between your lips and say the alphabet, these letters will make your upper and lower lips come together. Just try it.

 Your feedback is extremely important to me, please leave a comment and tell me how you feel about this.
Thank you.

How to make a Dog Balloon

The dog balloon is a fundamental sculpture in the art of balloon twisting and balloon animals. Many animals balloons such as the deer and giraffe are variations on the dog balloon. And you'll find that the basics that you master when twisting a dog balloon, will apply to more difficult balloon sculptures.

Inflate the balloon to about two inches from the end.

Twist three basic balloon twists. The first will be about two inches long, which will form the snout of the dog. The second and third twists will be smaller, about an inch each, to form the dog's ears.

Bring the first, longer twist against the main body of the balloon in preparation for a lock twist.
As mentioned on the last page, the first balloon segment (A), will form the snout of the dog. The second and third twists (B and C), will form the dog's ears. You'll be twisting B and C together while holding (A) and the main body of the balloon to create a lock twist.

Your balloon sculpture should now resemble the head of a dog.

Twist three basic balloon twists, each about three-inches. The first (A) will form the dog's neck. The second and third twists (B and C) will form the dog's front legs.


As you did with the dog's head, create a lock twist by twisting B and C and holding the rest.

Your twisted balloon sculpture should now resemble the front of a dog with its head and front legs.

Twist three basic balloon twists, each about three-inches. The first (A) will form the dog's body. The second and third twists (B and C) will form the dog's back legs. The final balloon segment (D) will form the dog's tail.


As you did with the dog's front legs create a lock twist by twisting segments B and C and holding the rest.

You have now twisted a basic dog balloon animal.

Thanks,
Jungle Joe! :)
