Fido-Fiki,
The Busking Dog
by Qua-Fiki and Jim

At first I wasn't sure this belonged in
the Kitchen Workshop Wiz-J, but it uses no power tools
and parts of it are made of wood, and we don't have a
Busker Collection... yet... so here it is. What every
busker needs and wants, an opening act that draws an
instant crowd wherever and whenever Fido-Fiki appears.
Everyone says "Oh, look at the cute little
puppy!" and you know you've got an audience. You've
also got a complete show, and Qua-Fiki and Jim will take
you through the construction and performance every step
of the way.

If Kitty-Fiki, a real
live kitten, believes Fido-Fiki is real, the young people
in your audience will, too. Pretty soon, everyone in the
audience will believe in him (or her) as well, playing
catch with the puppy and joining in on its magic tricks
and adventures, almost totally ignoring YOU until the
very end when you remind them that you and the puppy have
to eat.
No, we didn't make the
puppy marionette from scratch, but adapted it from an
easily obtainable and inexpensive child's toy. Sources
are given for this and for other parts of the act,
including building a fire-hydrant lota, a
"magic" dog carrier, card tricks and
mind-reading tricks that the puppy can perform and more.
