The babies were then told to pick a puppet and in “80% of the times that the experiment [was] conducted, babies [selected] the ‘good’ puppet…”(Wallace).

All of this is a show and when the chicken puppet is taken away from the cage the snake starts to breathe and move about. The second part of the segment focuses on…

monitor to see how his puppets would look from the audience's point of view, the tricky part that needed some getting used to was that the monitor had a reversed screen so everything, including the puppets movements, from the puppeteer’s perspective, was reversed. (So for example, if you were standing facing the camera your left hand would be on the right side of the screen and your right hand would be on the left side of the screen.) Kermit the Frog, Henson’s world famous frog puppet, was…
