Hi, yeah trick marionettes are cool. My favorite is the juggler, but are there other types that are popular?

I just got the David Currell marionette book from 2004. It's very comprehensive! Does any one else have this book? I really enjoyed it.

Hi Camellia, it's your down under buddie.Which reminds me of another trick marionette.It's 2 marionettes in one.Useally a lady wearing a dress, which conceals another lady upside down, so you turn the marionette upside down and the dress then reveals the new character and hides the old one.

Two other trick marionettes are a Marionette that works his own smaller marionette and a skeleton marionette,who can go to pieces and separate.For example, his head can float up in the air, or his arms can stretch across the room.Spooky!!!
