Scott Land performs his puppet version of "Ballantine, The World's Greatest Magician", featuring the actual voice of comedy magic legend Carl Ballantine. Recorded live at the famous Magic Castle in Hollywood.
I just saw a guy on America's Got Talent and he reminded me of Ballantine. Then the next night on the results show, Howie Mandel mentioned Ballantine to the performer. Fantastic act and a great tribute!
What a pleasure to see this. I like to believe Ballantine himself is saying to his angel pals, "You know...there's this great marionette act of me down there...terrific puppeteer, Scott Land...and it's been put on youtube..what a great puppet...what...? what's youtube?"

One of the best marionettes I've seen. Working fingers takes it to a new dimension.

The marionette version of Carl was less accident-prone with his tricks than the real one. LOL!
Thanks for sharing this. A nice tribute to a classic comic performer.
