Yes, I've seen that show. It was enchanting! But I've always been too paranoid to use front projection -- in many venues it's just not possible to protect the equipment from curious little audience hands (and vice versa).

|Then let me mention another technique I saw used by Hobey Ford of 
|Golden Rod Puppets. He used a slide projector in front, to project 
|scenery onto the front of the shadow screen.  He had another light 
|behind for his shadow puppets.  He controlled two dimmers to fade 
|between the two, and to adjust the balance of light.  However, it may 
|only be necessary to control the back light to prevent totally 
|washing out the projected image.
