VENTRILUSIONIST

INTRODUCING MY NEW ACT

VENTRILUSIONIST...Visual and Voice Illusions


Hindi Ventriloquism and Magic show ha...NO doves, rabbits, cards, mentalism etc etc...this one is strictly Full Ventriloquism and Illusions...


Palagay ko ako palang unang gagawa nyan.


Last night I tried it at the Celebrity Club but 1 illusion lang. I did the Voice Box, then Don Dom then the Mask then Nicolo then the Modern Art Illsuion and it was a kiler routine na. Imagine if madagdag pa Compressher at Broom Supsension...


I think ito na yung sinasabi nilang Signature Act

Rael and Not-Not

The legendary Master Vent from the Philippines....RAEL and his friend Not-Not...not-no-no-not not...not not! :)

Wanlu's "Birthday Party Hosting" Workshop

As you all know, I'm retiring from hosting effective December 2007 and will concentrate on my Magic Act and Ventriloquist Act as well. In line with this, I am planning to conduct a one day seminar on BIRTHDAY PARTY HOSTING. I will discuss many usefull tips and will cover topics like games, music, routines, spiels, usual party concerns and problems and a whiole lot more.

The seminar will also include an Open Forum between featured Party Planners and Party Hosts. It will also feature talks from Shahein "Shay" Abraham and Apollo Abraham.

I will charge a minimal fee of P1k per head which will include lunch. Im inviting all of you to join the seminar and I guarantee that you will not be short changed...open for both amateur birthday party hosts and pros.

I encourage you to bring your actual bday party assistant/crew.

Suuuper Duck!!!

Meet the latest member of my gang of puppets...Tatarara!!! Suuuper Duck!!!

Made by Ms Mary Ann Taylor (MAT)

Suuuper Duck is strong, fast and brave. He has a big appetite for pizza too :)

Newspaper clipping below shows the Duck as a female duck :) and the previous owner Ms Val Hilliker from Alberta, Canada who is so kind and generous.

I bought a new costume for him and now...he is known as Suuuper Duck :)

Me and my Vent Act at Padi's Point

Last night, I performed my Vent Act at Padi's Point QC. When I arrived at the venue, I immediately saw a big banner that says MAGIC SHOW. I panicked because I did not have my Magic act with me because my agreement with them is for me to perform my Vent Act. I asked the manager why and the reply I got shocked me. Apparently, the word VENTRILOQUISM might be too heavy for their target market so they opted to use the term Magic Show.

I love doing Magic and Ventriloquism...I can do a full Magic show or a Full Vent show or a mix of both. But I just can't imagine doing a Vent show for a crowd expecting a Magic show...or vise versa.

It's a good thing I had my Axtell Special FX Drawing board with me and my spongeballs :)

In any case, I learned a lot of things in this gig and I got paid in the process... so basically, it's another good night for me and VENTRILOQUISM.

Special thanks to my friends who were there to help me. Flooch, Symond, Chayno, Arnold, Chris Orbon, May Almazan, Bob, Alma, Hazel, Frieda, Abraham and my wife Debbie :)

Ony Carcamo at CCP

One of my Vent mentors...the Philippines' premier ventriloquist, Mr Ony Carcamo. I was seated in the gallery during this show at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP)...the show was really fantastic. Ony is featured in this video with an antique Mack-Marshall figure he calls Nonoy :)

Ony Carcamo is a very generous vent, teaching the new vents in the Philippines and sharing his ideas and techniques during our local Vent Jams.
