Behind the scenes! Check out how this puppet was made by DLUX Puppets. In 2021, we were approached by fine artist Noah Elias to turn his well known character into a puppet. It was a wonderful commission, using the talents of Dallin Blankenship help with the 3D model patterning. We enjoyed creating this character come to life!

Congratulations to Terry Fator on opening his new show at The STRAT Hotel, Casino and Skypod last night! Congratulations to Adam Steck and Alex Schechter on the SPI team for a marvelous production, and Michael Caprio for a great opening night event! When we attended the media ceremony, Mayor Carolyn Goodman proclaimed June 18th to be Terry Fator day and gave him a key to the city of Las Vegas! Terry gave a wonderful performance and we were so grateful to catch up with him at his after party along with our friend and colleague Steve Axtell who created 19 Puppets for the finale of the show!

Yesterday was one of those days I will remember forever. Having learned of my work, I was honored to be personally invited by David Copperfield to attend his show and meet him afterwards. We spent about an hour with him in his dressing room discussing puppetry. I was truly humbled by his numerous compliments of my work and productions. What an incredible honor to meet and connect with someone who is truly an icon who has inspired me for years!

We had a great time at Coronado High School (Henderson, Nevada) teaching three different puppet workshops today to their theatre department! Thank you to Mr. Torres for having us back!
