I remember the puppet shows…when I was a kid, it was one person controlling many puppets and using various voices

Various types of puppets exist
Black light puppet[
Bunraku puppet
Cantastoria
Carnival or body puppet
Finger puppet
Human-arm puppet
Light curtain puppet
Marionette
Hand puppet or glove puppet or sock puppet– these puppets are still used a lot and not just in puppet shows

I will go into more detail about puppets, puppeteers and post some puppet videos
It is impressive, the way, that one person can manipulate, so many different puppets and make them all seem just like…they are not controlled, by one entity…it’s like a magicians trick, that children can be fooled by, but I know better these days and can see the puppeteer, behind the puppets and the illusion is no longer hidden…Never the less…It is a unique topic and worth my time to talk about it
stay tunedwow

LeeCharming: it’s like a magicians trick,
And it's a trick that can be reversed. If, for example, ten separate people think you are an idiot, you can modify this trick to make it seem like it is only one person. hmmm

Although the only person this trick is likely to fool, is the one performing it. dunno sigh

I have a vague happy memory of that too. Howdy Doody was a favorite, even had a string puppet.
