It is puppetry performed in darkness using blacklights (ultra violet light)
as the light source.  The puppets are made from a flourescent material so
they appear to "glow" during the performance.  We have used this form of
puppetry to make objects appear to be floating in air.  One of our skits
used fish puppets, a fisherman and his son.  While they sat on a dock
fishing the fish seemed to be swimming without the aid of a puppeteer (the
puppeteer is usually dressed in black with black gloves and a black hood
over their heads so they blend into the darkness).  
It's a very powerful form of puppetry almost always brings "oooo's" and
"aaaahhh's" from the audience.
