The dancer was very impressive. I'm wondering how they made her spin?

Never did cotton to that genre.

A little googling reveals that Tony Sarg invented the balloons in the Macy's Parade. He also did some clever silhouette animations that you can find on YouTube.

BMN, all the strings from a marionette are tied to a control bar, usually cross-shaped like this: http://fromdeeperwater.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/marionette.jpg
To make the puppet spin, just spin the control bar.

You just took the magic out of that for the millions and millions of kiddies that frequent this site daily. :lol:

Or maybe they'll grow up to be puppeteers now they know how it's done. Think of it - millions and millions of puppeteers! :o

Larry Niven has beaten you to that punch.
