I went with Berger to that one, I was 14, young, strong, helped carry and set up exhibit figures from Vent Haven. He called me on phone to come from my room to his, bring my Davenport figure recently purchased from his collection for $100 to show Lester. I did and recall Lester doing this bit demonstration throwing voice outside hotel door, opening door, craning neck to left and at same time arm grabbing him around neck and pulling himself outside the door. It was his own right arm doing it. Lester decided against using the Davenport and chose a Marshall figure instead for the stage show at that convention. I was not aware this bit was in the Robert Ganthony book.Ventriloquist LeeDeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02539926968423717600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7032258502517519125.post-68711542285585765362010-11-02T17:19:44.992-06:002010-11-02T17:19:44.992-06:00I had this book as a teenager wanting to learn ven...I had this book as a teenager wanting to learn ventriloquism and it was a tough read, it is written like the Queen's english.
