"The first time I saw a ventriloquist on TV, I was hooked."
A guy takes out a wooden dummy from a suitcase, sits him on his knee, and asks the little guy to say hello to the audience.
"I can't do that," says the little guy.
"Why not?"
"My mother told me not to talk to strangers!"

They just saw a piece of wood come to life.
I just saw my future.

One of Denmark's major
newspapers, "Berlingske Tidende,"
gave Jack the title of,
"Hele Danmark's Kæledyr,"
("Denmark's Favorite Pet")
after his first TV appearance.
...followed by a three month
European tour, which somehow
took fifteen years to complete.
During that time, he performed at
numerous corporate functions,
and learned to entertain and hold
some very diverse audiences.

Jack goes solo and becomes
a cartoon. "There's no hard
