This appeared on Japanese televison and has been on the internet for a while. I haven't seen any mention of it in the Café, so I thought I'd mention it.

The first time you watch, it is a little confusing. This is very well executed.
Thank You

I remember watching this and although I appreciated the work and effort that went into it I was disappointed that the method could be seen so well. With some better lighting it could have been spectacular!

Best,

This has been discussed here in the past. Very funny video but does some bad damage to Black art....

I don't think it damages a black art a lot.

Cool video
Theatre productions use puppeteers dressed in black outfits to manipulate puppet characters on-stage. Everyone knows they are there, but you are supposed to block them out and just focus on the interaction between the human and marionette characters within the play.

Nice video. I think they should have gone "all the way" with black art, or just made it so obvious that you appreciate the technical aspects of it.

Cool video!

I remember having this video in my mobile phone last year, its a good video and very funny too..

thanks!

This is not black art it is a form of puppetry......I have saw a very similar act at puppet festival.....

It's Japanese bunraku theater. You can find information about it at http://www.asianinterstage.com/tonda/ . I first learned of it from Tears of Joy Puppet Theatre, which is based in Vancouver, Washington, USA.

Cardone you are absolutely right, like I said also, this does not give away black art secret... vice a versa it may even make people belive, that it is impossible to hide black-clad people even in dark

Now that's funny.

Hahaaaaa...I can't stop laughing!

This is awesome although it would be even more awesome if you couldn't see the person in the background.
