American Puppet Master Thrills French Audience [VIDEO]

I don't know much about the puppet master in this video, however the video went viral on the internet, and that is how I got it. I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to share it with you. It was from a French television show as you'll hear by the conversation the shows host has with the puppeteer. The little guy goes as far as to kiss all the girls in the audience. Puppeteering is truly a lost art form, but it seems to me at least, that the French and the Europeans tend to appreciate some of the older art or talent forms.
While guys like Jeff Dunham and Bobby Duck are doing well for themselves, the stringed-puppet guys are rare and a real treat to watch. It really is a great little get-away video, check it out tell me what you think.
