Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get Ben in a Basket, in the states. Thanks, Mike |

David Ginn sells the dog puppet that originated from Jeremy at Practical Magic in the UK, but with his own props and routine (I think). He doesn't call it Ben in a Basket.

Note - I forgot to mention that the "breed" of dog puppet that David Ginn sells is different from Practical Magic's Ben in a Basket.
But if you look closely at the description of David's product, he shared Jeremy's routine on his DVD, etc. See the links in my post above. A previous thread on Ben in a Basket: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......forum=17 A link to Ben in a Basket on the Practical Magic website: https://practical-magic.com/products/ben-in-a-basket - Donald P.S. A reminder - Practical Magic is now owned and run by Gary Dunn (since June 2017), who bought the business from Cheryl a few months after Jeremy passed away. https://practical-magic.com/blogs/news/p......wnership

Thanks Donald, I ended up going with SPS rabbit in a hat. Thinking I can pull all the same gags and bits & probably create a few along the way. I appreciate your help.

BTW, Sammy Smith does a great demo for Puff the Magic Rabbit (performance of his rabbit in hat puppet routine) on his "The Magic Ingredient" DVD. I saw it years ago on VHS. This is a link to the DVD.
https://www.spsmagic.com/collections/vid......kidology If you are going to perform with a rabbit in the hat puppet, seek out an older book titled "Realm of the Rabbit" (Douglas Wathen). Google the title and author. I've heard that this book has great rabbit in hat puppet routines. Another performer known for his rabbit in hat puppet routines is David Risley. I think he had a product out called "The Puppet Video". Google seems to indicate there were VHS and DVD versions. - Donald

I'll keep an eye out for the Dave Risley video. Right now, I only see it on the flora website and I'm not sure how active they are anymore. Maybe I'll send them an email and see if I get a response. Realm of the Rabbit is on order.
Thanks again |
