Useful to learn Ventriloquism,
This review is from: Practical Ventriloquism (Paperback)
A (unchanged) reprint of an old English book from 1883. Many good tips and a thorough explanation. To actually learn how to do it will still be hard work and practice.
Some of the language may now be considered racist in this 'politically correct' world. But to call people with a black skin 'African Americans' as an other reviewer does is a bit silly as in this case they aren't even American. All forms of ventriloquism are explained as well as how to put an entertaining show together.

Reprint of very old book,
By
This review is from: Practical Ventriloquism (Paperback)
I threw it in the garbage, it refered to african americans throughout the entire book as the N word. I realize at the time the book was written that was an acceptable practice. But it made me feel sick to see it in print, and it made me ashamed I would not want anyone to see that I owned the book. I could have resold it on ebay, but my preference was to destroy it.
