Welcome to the IBM homepage of Daniel Jay Robison, The Family Ventriloquist. Daniel Jay specializes in ventriloquism but also performs close-up and parlor magic as well as some mentalism. Since ventriloquism is a form of magic the 2 usually go hand in hand. That being said, you can not go to a ventriloquist convention without some magicians there and visa versa. As George Schindler named his book "Ventriloquism, Magic with Your Voice." Which, by the way, is one of the best books if you want to learn ventriloquism! Besides being a ventriloquist and magician I also work full time for AutoTrader.com. What a great company to work for! And maintain a ventriloquist website called Cybervent.
