I saw this fellow up close at Charleville. There's a small nozzle located I think just underneath the dragon's maw. It is a wonderful looking act - probably the best 'walkabout' act I've ever seen, puppet themed or otherwise. I do wonder what the dragon is made of...somehow I doubt it is wood, unless it is specially treated in a way I do not know about. There was another fire breathing puppet at Charelville, a two foot high marionette made of some metal, who would hold flaming torches in his hands and do a fire spitting act with them. Both acts look great, though I did notice that if you design a marionette to breath fire there's probably not a lot else he can do (both acts though lovely to look at, especially at night, were fairly short. Once the fire-breathing gets old that's all she wrote.)
