- Ricky Syers is a street performer who works with marionettes that can move like their real-life companions.
- Each one is inspired by someone he's met in the park or in his day-to-day life.
- Ricky walked us through creating an outfit for one of them and what it's like to perform in parks in New York City.

The following is a transcript of the video.
Narrator: That dog right there is a puppet. But the way it moves is so realistic that it makes other dogs think it's just like them. It can walk, run, and even wag its tail, but it was made entirely by hand. That is Ricky Syers. He's the master behind this marionette and a bunch of others he's made of some of his favorite people he's met in Washington Square Park in New York City. But Ricky didn't start out making marionettes or performing as a puppeteer in the park. He would bring along his marionette when he went to perform as a drummer, and one day it clicked.
Ricky Syers: They wanted to see the puppets. In three visits, I discovered I am a marionette street performer.
