  • I was wondering what is the starting music of the video? I like the circus style.

  • i just dont fuckin get it, why isn't he as famous as jeff dunham. Jeff dunham sucks compared to this guy. Its just like blu and exile not being famous like justin bieber but yet hes better

  • please post more archive videos for dan and his puppets pls. thanks!!

  • I like the updated Orson here, compared to the one in the early 80s. Also, the joke with Cassandra's eye almost made me wake my household. And if you don't mind my saying so, you are really cute. :3 And very talented. I've been surfing your videos for an hour now, though I KNOW I have something else I should be doing...and I can't stop. I'm very impressed. And I hope to find more of your videos to occupy my time.

  • Awesome work, no words, he makes the puppets live, I wish I could see one of your shows, really.

    Thanks for those magic moments !

  • 1984 orson was better

  • lol he was 91 in 1984

  • I like the original orson from 1984

  • A nicer version of Walter.

  • Hilarious!!

  • lol he was 91 twenty years ago :DDDDDDDD

  • Your voice skills are impeccable but what amazes me the most is that you are also a master puppeteer. It's incredible how you move the puppet arms with only one hand. The puppet is so alive!

  • I liked the Orsen from 1984 better

  • That's not orson... Orson looks more like a sock puppet... Only much much much better , and older

  • Jeff Horn, I watched Dumbstruck over the weekend and was enamored of your talents. I've been having a tough time lately with personal matters and what not, but watching Cassandra possessed just made me fall out. When that wig came off and next the eyes, that is sheer genius!!! Thank you for giving me a positive outlook through comedy and entertainment.

  • YOU ARE AWESOME!!

  • With no disrespect, for what ever reason, seeing you perform, Edgar Bergen comes to mind. I just "discovered" you though another site, while looking up clips of a deceased hi school classmate of mine, Vic Dunlop. Maybe for some folks, that have "found" you, they want, for you, that marquee/brand name status, while minimizing Mr Dunhams's talents. Folks, we don't want to do that. These masters are ice cream, but different flavors and we audiences and fans are the winners.Thank you, Dan Horn.

  • Oh my gosh!!! I saw one of your acts from 1984 here on youtube quite awhile back and I was completely astounded at how realistic you made Orson look!!! I thought he was real!!! I also recently watched a ventriloquist segment from a documentary that you participated in last year, Dumbstruck, and I was even more in awe of your abilities! I can't help but be enchanted by your abilities :D

  • I can never decide: Would I be more disappointed that the puppets don't move by themselves, or more scared that they do?

  • Btw, who was the character at 2:14?

  • @chickenbeforeegg Hi. That puppet is my very first "soft sculpture" character that I call Cassandra.

  • @DanHornVentriloquist Thanks for the response, means a lot! I've been searching for Cassandra videos, and they're all really good, but is there a full video of you at this session? I'd really like to know if there is. Thanks!

  • @chickenbeforeegg I have not posted the full routine as I still use it in my act...would rather not have the whole thing out there just yet... Take care, Dan.

  • @DanHornVentriloquist I completely understand, do what you need to do. :)

    You too, Dakota.

  • @DanHornVentriloquist you were on tv I'm truly starstruck

  • @DanHornVentriloquist your dan horn right ? if you are im your number one fan!

  • He was 91 in 1984, and he's still 91. That man is immortal.

  • Mr. Horn, your rod work is truly remarkable and as someone trying to learn the art, I am very inspired.

  • @razorramone63139 Thank you very much; I really appreciate your comment. I wish you well in your puppet pursuit...

  • @DanHornVentriloquist Thank you so much. :) As someone that's been doing this for quite some time, I was wondering. How long did it take you to master the distant ventriloquism technique?

  • He changed the puppet and lost weight! (:

  • from what year is it?

  • HE SHOULD GO ON AMERICAS GOT TALENT

  • Dan,

    hadn't heard of you before randomly finding some videos of you here. Laughed my ass off. I will definately be on the lookout for you now.

    P.S.  if you see my ass, let me know.

  • sorry. Dunham is far funnier. Go Walter!!

  • Who is The Second Pupet The Girl One

  • DAN HORN HAS COME SUCH A VERY LONG WAY!!!I WONDER WHAT HES DOING TO THIS DAY

  • I WAS SO ATTACHED TO OLD ORSEN

  • i wish i couldve seen the whole act it seemed funny i laughed at the little parts that where in the vid

  • dan horn looks really diffrent less hair and he put on lots of weight and orson has shanged to!!!dan looks like a completely different person!!!oh and no offense about the weight

  • Orson changed!!

  • Do you think you ever come to Germany-with Orson :-) ?Hamburg would be nice...

    I love to watch your videos, your puppets look so alive.

  • Really quite stunning to watch.Iv'e not followed the art in any way it must be said, but watching your performances allows me an entirely different opinion about what the very best Ventriloquist can manage

  • soo entertaining .. i wish i am a ventriloquist.. hahhaha

  • Have you ever met Terry Fator?

  • @razorramone63139 btw, I LOVE your work. :)

  • "Little inside joke" .....that was priceless.

  • Was the second dummy falling apart planed? by the way your the best ventriloquist i've seen yet

  • Dan, I am learning so much about puppet manipulation from watching you. You are a master. Thank you!

  • wow, you're the best ventriloquist i've ever seen

  • Hi Dan. I think your act is super great. I think all you ventriloquists have a wonderful art. New Orson I think is less memorable as the older model. Keep up the great work. =)

  • I miss the old Orson , old Orson look abit creepy but his look is so unique ... the new Orson is ... yah ok.....it's an old man puppet ..... what happen to the old Orson ....

    still you are my fav ventriloquist !

  • how come Orson looks different?

  • I meant horn on the comment below lol

  • I like the old orson and Dan hord :(

  • This guy is a COMedy GOD!!

  • was that puppets eyes n hair ment 2 fall off??? bring back the old orsen hes bettr :D

  • U should do something with Jeff Dunham that would be awesome! U guys r my fav!

  • Really good tho!

  • The old orson was creepier and I like that puppet better ps u were way cuter wen u were younger

  • @Gothgirl4000 You know how much everyone loves to hear that they were much cuter when they were younger, don't you? Miss dumb ass?

  • Your act is outstanding,my wife and I love Orson,are you going on tour if not you should be,Jeff is in town tomorrow,wish you were coming here to the GM center in Oshawa,ONT......thnx for the belly busting laughs.

  • I prefer the old Orson puppet.

  • i like the old puppet better, but its still REALLY GOOD

  • seems to me he's been 91 for the past 20 years lol!!

  • 2:59

    LMAO

  • So entertaining! I admire the way you use the hand rods. It makes your characters seem far more life-like and gives your performances a real edge. I've not seen any other ventriloquist with this kind of coordination. Just super!

  • @mamb82 I really appreciate the comment--Thanks!

  • @DanHornVentriloquist i really like your stuff Dan i think you are really funny i been watching the videos that you made like 1984 1988 and like this video ..i like how you changed the look of orson he looks so much better all tho he been 91 years old for ever lol but still what you do is very funny and i could watch videos of you and orson for hours ..these days its hard to get people to laugh but if you can then you are doing something right ...and we still laugh at you

  • Bring the old version of ORSON !!!

  • hi there. I think your act with Orson is original and very funny.I particularly like the way you move his hands, it gives him a lot of character.I don't see that from other ventriloquists.

    Will you be posting material? Absolutely delightful. Can't wait to see what you and Orson are up to.

  • Hey Dan! I love what you do its real funny and it always makes my day. You are real good at what you do and I wish you all the luck in it. :]

  • Your stuff is amazing, would be really cool to see you live, are you going to the uk anytime soon?

  • hey dan just what to say you are greate, but i have to wonder why you changed orson's apearance so much?, i gess it was a profecional decition, but how did youre fans reacted to the change?, was it hard to make that decition?,the original one was awsome, i just can not get acustomed to this new orson with the old ones voice, still its awsome.

  • you r the best one dan!!

  • and you are so great ;) p.s my english video is acount pawelgorkapl

  • Hi Dan Im polish ventriloquist I invite you my website pawelgorka.pl and my acount of course ;)

  • i think that jeff dunham is good at jokes because its like watching family guy

    dan horn is good becuase his stuff is original and he really knows how not to move his lips

  • Orson looks different. I'm a ventriloquist too. This is great.

  • hey Dan, i love your stuff and I really hope you reply to my comment/question. Have you watched any Jeff Dunham? I want to know what your opinion on him is. I'm just curious

  • @LPHJHGuitar

    I've known Jeff personally for almost 20 years now, and have been a fan of his work for even longer. I think he has great characters and material, and he has done a lot to elevate the reputation of ventriloquism as a respected form of entertainment again. That's a bonus for me and all other ventrilquists. Dan Horn.

  • @DanHornVentriloquist Hey, Dan I was wondering. What ever happened to the Original Orson and Pollyester from the 80's?

  • Hey Dan. I'm not sure if you know this, But there's this guy who owns a Youtube channel and he has videos of you from being on the Wallace and Ladmo show. They're hard to find because the titles don't mention your name. But his Youtube page is DHWallaceAndLadmo.

  • @SuperMrlemon

    Hi, thanks for the message. The channel is mine--the "DH" is for "Dan Horn." Actually, I do have my name in the tags, so they should come up along with anything else with my name on it. Please subscribe to the channel--I have over two hundred clips that I will eventually upload, with more on the way when I can get them edited. Again, I appreciate the heads up! Dan Horn.

  • Dan is amazing but Jeff is way funnier. If you mix em both into one person they'll be a LEGEND.

  • You are THE best Ventriloquist I have ever seen. The "newer" Orson is a bit less...well creepy. Although as soon as you got used to watching the old Orson it wasn't that bad. I'm glad to see that you're still a Vantriloquist. I think it's crazy that you can't even see your mouth moving at all. O.o

  • the old orson looks better

  • .the wig fall.!!!

    ahahhahahahahahahhahaha

  • I like this Orson better although I would think after 25 years he would be 116 instead of 91 :p He has been 91 for a long long long time.

  • i noticed this guy does the same act over n over :S

  • where is the old orson

  • wow he put weight on...

  • i think that your an amazing ventriloquist you rock thats the first time I've ever seen a dummy with both its arms moving i posted some videos of me doing ventriloquism can check out the videos and let me know how Im doing you rock orson rocks you are a great ventriloquist

  • Hey Dan, your characters are your characters. I think Orsen is just as funny and he looks great. Just different. People probably just got attached to his old look.

    If he you're happy with his look ect, than that's really what matters.

    You're great!

  • yea i miss the old orsen!

  • i think the orson from the '80s was better

  • definitely

  • yes... this orson looks better... :)

    please do upload more videos of you doing this art... youre such a great artist... :)

  • Hi, everyone:

    Thanks for all the comments. I'm surprised about all the comments on the fact I changed Orson... I changed him 23 years ago. I tried to make him look more like what I wanted the original Orson to look like but couldn't get because I lacked puppetmaking skills. However, Orson's character has remained the same for all these years. Sorry to all those who don't like the "new" Orson. I was trying to improve his look. Honestly, I like the new look.

  • @DanHornVentriloquist: I like the new Orson, however i don't think his look (right now) suits his personality.

  • The new one is not bad, but he can´t compare to the old one!

  • I like the newer look too, Dan. Much better than the original.

  • @DanHornVentriloquist dude ur amazing!, Don't know y I haven't seen you in comedy central!

  • @XWabbit After Jeff was in with Walter I don't think they'll let any more ventriloquists in.

  • @DanHornVentriloquist Hi Dan. Love your performances. I think people liked the old one a lot because he looked so unpredictable and weird, with his unkempt hair and careless look. I can't quite put my finger on it though, but everytime I watch the "Worlds Best Ventriloquist - Dan Horn -1984" video, I just laugh everytime I see Orson come out of the suitcase - It's just hilarious the way he looks, and your act in that one is one of the best I've ever seen. You are VERY talented. Take care!

  • wow, wtf happened to orsen??? he use to look so much better and funnier :(

  • @thearguer1 orsen looked better in the 80's now the charters are ugly and less funny now

  • i hate it when he makes orsen less him like in 1984 orsen looked better

  • He is good "5" star Video

  • Haha this is jokes

  • wow same joke unlike dunham, dunham wins he actually makes new jokes.

  • @FuryLobo Dunham is terribly unfunny and all his jokes are corny as fuck. He looks like he's constipated everytime he's talking in his crazy funny puppet voices.

  • @hexify7

    Uhm maybe its your sense of humor that sucks lol? But dan horn is good as a ventriloquist but he never makes new material even after 20years lol..And i dunno what jeff dunham videos you were watching how about pointing em out and giving me links on which live audiences he wasn't funny and looked constipated, oh yeah dan looks like he has a boner and trying to get it down as quick as possible when he talks thru the puppets ._. but thats all ventriloquists for you, smartass.

  • @FuryLobo

    Anyone who thinks the likes of Jeff Dunham is funny doesn't have a good sense of humor. I never said this guy was awesome either. But his execution of the ventriloquism looks much better then what I've seen of Jeff Dunham.

    I like my comedy w/o props, tbh.

  • @FuryLobo

    Also, what I meant by looking constipated was that stupid shit-eating grin Jeff Dunham has every time he talks as a puppet. He needs to have more movement between him and his puppets, it would be a lot better.

  • and what are u? A ventriloquist expert, now shush ^^.

  • @FuryLobo

    Way to miss a point. I never claimed I was, sir.

  • if all you know people is Dunham, then you are pathethic!!

  • haha, Poor Cassandra, they were playing Mr. Potato with her

    =P

  • iI kind of like the new Orson.

  • Ya know what they should do...

    Have Jeff Dunham and Dan Horn preform with they're puppets...At the same time! Live!

    Have the puppets comunicate!!!

    That'd be pretty kool...

  • Orson meets Walter and Miles meets Peanut that would be hilarious...and maybe a little scary too...

  • That would be crazy :P

  • wow they both got real old

  • GET MOR EMATERIAL AND STOP REPETING

    other than that amzing talent

  • yea i know its bugs me

  • he was better skinierrr....lol...  :[

  • Hey Dan ... Your the Best  .. Jeff''s got nothing on you !!

  • Master of Ventriloquist..

  • dan speaks so diffrent...why?

  • I agree Dan, I remember watching you on Comic Strip Live on Fox when Orson was a little younger. Please post more of your clips!

  • great video

  • orson got older

  • Dan I've been inspired by your video clips on YouTube. You are a great entertainer and really bring your characters to life. Please share more video clips of your work.
