I am featuring a very clever little "Popcorn" puppet from Banjo Puppets in Toronto today.
My puppet troupe will be performing with several in our first show/skit on March 14th.

Inside the puppet is an over sized clothes peg of sorts that works as the mouth mechanism. In order to maintain eye contact, one must move the lower portion of the mouth only when the puppet is speaking. This means that you must hold the fabric at the top of the peg and squeeze the bottom portion upward. If you attempt to just close the peg regularly, the eyes tilt upward losing contact with the audience. A small trick but important for believability!
