  1. ventriloquist's dummy

    A ventriloquist's dummy is a puppet manipulated by a ventriloquist to create the illusion that the puppet is talking. This puppet is usually a human or human-like figure, with movable parts such as the mouth and sometimes the eyes, and is operated by the ventriloquist through a control mechanism built into the back or bottom of the dummy. The ability to change the expression of the dummy and make it appear as though it's talking, combined with the ventriloquist's skill in "throwing" their voice, creates the illusion of conversation or a performance.
