Subject: One Man Portable Puppet Theater


Greetings everyone.  I just got back from the TAOM Magic Auction in
Austin Texas this last weekend.  While there I met a gentleman who told
me of a One Man Portable Puppet Theater.  His description was that this
theater was worn by the man as he walked around.  He said when the man
wanted to stop and perform a seat or stool folded out from the stage for
the man to sit on.  The person would perform using two different hand
puppets and was able to see through the backdrop while he was walking
around and as well as he was performing.   I know that this is a pretty
poor description, but it got me thinking.  I love to do walk around
puppetry/ventriloquism.  I think a portable stage like this would be
great.

My question is....Has anyone seen anything like this?  If so do you know
where I might be able to get something similar? 

Thanks in Advance,

Keith
