Shadow Master Indeed
"We've all grown up trying to do this but mastery has to be earned."
Shadow Master Raymond Crowe takes shadow puppetry to a whole new level. 26 years of honing his skills have made him simply the best in this most exclusive of the arts.
To call his lyrical, touching routines simply shadow puppetry doesn't really do them justice. Images depicting a singing Louis Armstrong morphing into a horse, a preening swan, a hopping rabbit, a baby's hand clutching an adult's finger and an elderly man are illustrative of a creative genuis at work.
These days Crowe regularly receives standing ovations for his performances but is quick to highlight that it has not always been thus - "I did do a show in Port Lincoln once and when the rabbit came out they yelled out 'Shoot it! Shoot it!"'
If you haven't seen this clip before prepare to be amazed. The perfect demonstration of imagination, creativity and determination.

Mildly entertaining. More a novelty than No Can't Do.

A novelty that took 26 years to hone....?

Sometime novelty is the best kind of No Can't Do.
