To old timers Ventriloquism was a mystifying art heard at long intervals on the vaudeville stage. Because Mr Ganthony was one of the old masters who directed his work to those who wish to teach themselves - and we know that so many people might want to do just that - this 'how to' guide has been reprinted from the original plates. Mr Ganthony believed that ventriloquists were not born, but made by the desire to learn and the willingness to practice. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
