I would want to build a classic device in a ventriloquist case. The routine is : I put the doll inside the box, while I´m working with another character, the doll replicates this one as the lid of the box opens.
My question is how to build a box that opens the lid through a mechanical system with a pedal. The idea is to put the doll inside the box and use the pedal to open and close the lid of the box. A classic.
Thank you very much

Just to mention, CiCi the Boa Constructor around my shoulder in profile photo. is going to appear with me in My Communities Theater groups, Play about Old TV, asking why NO mention about Animal Programs - fun fun fun

Maybe you can use mechanic such as for Hi-hat in a drum set, which use pedal and steel rod.
