Dancing paper puppets how it is done
The Magic Dancing Dolls or The Scam That Took 15 Years to Solve ⋆ two cats backpack
In 1999, a few girlfriends and I decided to take our very first international post-college trip to Europe. We had no idea how to go on our own, so we booked a bus tour that would take us across seven countries in a span of two weeks. The tour company would take care of everything – hotels, most meals, transportation, and a guide to explain all the sights. It was perfect for three sheltered suburban girls in the pre-internet age. In Rome, Italy we got dropped off at a bustling city square and given a few hours to walk around and explore on our own. I went off on my own, as my friends wanted to go shopping and I had at that point already lost all of my money (not by a scam, but by simply leaving my wallet behind in the very first hotel room where we stayed). On top of that, I also didn’t have a suitcase to carry back any souvenirs because the airline lost my luggage on the flight to London. None of this put a damper on my trip, as I was simply enjoying Europe too much and relied on borrowing money and clothes from my friends.
After wandering around Rome for a few hours, I made my way back to the bus. In front of our parked bus, a small crowd gathered to watch a very strange spectacle. A man spread out a blanket on the sidewalk and put a boombox blasting dance music on the other side of the blanket. He had small paper dolls – uncolored cutouts from a Disney coloring book, a lot of Mickey and Minnie Mouses, a few Donald Ducks, and a slightly crumpled Goofy. They were all reinforced with a cardboard back and had their legs replaced with thick colored thick yarn. They were dancing on the blanket, their string legs comically jumping up and down in the air.
None of this made sense. Most dolls weren’t even touching the ground, just leaping in the air, wiggling, and shaking to the beat. I leaned in to examine closer. They were paper, cardboard, and yarn, and all had a small black square glued on their backs.
I didn’t see any mechanism in the paper puppets that could make them dance like this. The crowd was debating whether these incredible dolls were worth $10 each. I walked into the bus, confused. It was clear to me that this was a scam, but I had no idea how it worked. From my seat on the bus, I could clearly see this bizarre show out of my window and kept watching, in hopes of figuring it out.
I watched as one of my friends approached the bus and stopped, staring at the dancing puppets on the blanket. She leaned in closer to examine. She asked something of the vendor, and he grabbed two new dolls wrapped in cellophane, gently unwrapped them, and put them on the ground. The puppets immediately started jumping and dancing to the beat. My friend nodded, satisfied. The man rewrapped the dolls and handed them to my friend. She handed him a crisp 20-euro bill. I jumped out of my seat and ran towards the bus door.
“What are you doing!?” I yelled, “Stop!”
Our guide grabbed me on my way down the aisle and asked what happened.
I explained and he ran out of the bus, yelling in Italian at the vendor.
My friend, undeterred by the sudden commotion, confidently walked into the bus.
“What?” she said. “I bought souvenirs.”
As our guide and the vendor continued yelling at each other in Italian outside, I tried to reason with her.
“Go back and see if you can get your money back!”
“Why?” she retorted, “My younger sister would love these.”
“How in the world do you think a paper doll is going to dance for you?? HOW?” I gasped.
“I had them tested.” She said, “They work!”
To prove her point, she gently unwrapped a Minnie Mouse paper doll and laid it on her lap. It just laid there, its little yarn legs hanging pathetically limp on the side.
I stared at the doll and then at my friend. I bit my tongue and waited for her to realize that she was scammed.
She looked the doll over and wrinkled her forehead.
“It probably needs music to work.” She said, rewrapping the doll and hiding it away in her purse.
I spent the entire drive to our hotel softly wailing in anguish into my hands. My friend was completely undeterred. She never admitted defeat, never acknowledged being scammed, and later insisted that her sister loved the present. I have to believe that despite her outward demeanor, she too learned a 20-euro lesson, just as I had a few years earlier.
Fifteen years later, in front of Tsukiji market in Tokyo, Victor asked me if I would be OK exploring the market on my own for an hour, while he went shopping for traditional Japanese woodblock prints a few subway stops away. We agreed on the meeting place and time, and I went off, wandering among fish stands and sushi restaurants. Deep into the maze of the market, I suddenly came upon a small clearing, a tiny square with a large oak tree in the middle. Under the oak tree, a huge Japanese man stood by a blanket on the ground with a boom box on the other end of it, blaring high beat dance music. I stopped and stared, bewildered.
Small paper cut-out dolls with yarn strings danced on the blanket.
Six thousand miles away and fifteen years later, the same scam was alive and doing well, according to the size of the crowd gathered around. I was no longer a naïve twenty-year-old, I was going to figure this out. I immediately noticed a few things I missed the first time around. At least one person in the crowd was working with the scammer. He stood on the other side of the blanket, directly across the boom box. By his foot was a large duffel bag, his hand never left his pocket. He kept talking to people around, pretending he was one of them, enthusiastically exclaiming his amazement at these paper puppets every time someone new joined the crowd. If the crowd dispersed momentarily, his face immediately went blank, and he stared off into the distance. He never moved from his spot.
I circled the blanket, watching the dolls carefully, and pulled out my camera. Immediately the vendor rushed toward me shaking his head and pointing at my camera.
No pictures. So, I thought, a camera can reveal something about this scam that is not seen with a naked eye. And finally, the most important clue. All puppets danced in one straight line exactly between the boombox and the duffel bag. I thought back to Italy where the dolls also danced in one straight line. It finally all clicked together. The little dark squares on the back of the puppets in Italy were missing from these dolls, but now I knew what they were. These were small thin magnets. Here, the scammers glued them between the paper cutout and cardboard backing, making it even harder to understand the grift.
The trick was simple. There was magnetic fishing line, so thin that it was invisible to the eye (but might show up on a camera if the light hit it just right), drawn between the boombox and the duffel bag, with one end going out of the duffel bag and into the trouser leg of the second scammer, who pulled and yanked on it through his pocket. The dolls were attached to the magnetic line with their little magnets, being jerked around to the music by a seemingly amazed spectator.
I laughed out loud and the scammer encouragingly smiled at me, mistaking my smirking for amazement at his miraculously dancing puppets. He yelled out something in Japanese, most likely the price.
Now that I knew how the scam worked, I was eager to share it with the crowd. There was only one problem. I didn’t speak Japanese. The second problem, that both scammers were surprisingly large built men and would probably not take kindly on my interruption of their cash flow, did not occur to me yet. I watched as several people handed them bills in exchange for dolls. I opened my mouth wordlessly and uselessly gesticulated with my hands. I tried to pull up Google Translate on my phone but wasn’t getting any data connection. Suddenly I saw a family of American tourists in the crowd, their young son excitedly pointing at the dancing dolls. Finally! Someone I can save! I rushed towards them.
“Stop!” I yelled. “It’s a scam!”
The father already had his wallet out and a few bills in his hand.
The entire family froze and stared quizzically at me. As I breathlessly explained the scam to them, the entire Japanese crowd synchronically dispersed around us. Without understanding my words, they still understood my warning. The American family hid their money and walked away. Reveling in my accomplishment, I looked around for validation only to find myself completely alone. I turned towards the blanket. The large scammer was staring daggers into me. He threw his hands into the air and yelled something angrily toward his accomplice, still standing stiffly by the duffel bag.
I turned around and ran.
Victor left me alone for exactly an hour. He was worried about letting me go off solo and multiple times asked if I will be OK. Of course, I will be OK! What could possibly happen to me! I’ve traveled alone before and was completely fine! How ironic it would be now for Victor to find me with my head bashed in, crying in some quiet corner of the market. These were the thoughts running through my head, as I zig-zagged through the stalls.
No one followed me of course, as one man had a fishing string running through his pant leg and the other one was too unwieldy to follow me. I finally found our meeting place, breathless and red-faced, clutching my camera and eagerly spewing the entire story to Victor.
He stared at me, horrified.
“I am never letting you go off alone again!” he cried.
“I solved it!” I gasped excitedly, “I solved the Italian dancing doll mystery!”
I spent the metro ride to our hotel recounting the story over and over again. Victor spent the entire ride softly wailing in anguish into his hands. Just like my friend, some fifteen years earlier, I refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing and pretended everything went exactly to plan.

Probably magnets too. Probably, of course, it will fall after some time, it is not for nothing that the seller constantly changes them. I notice a homemade poster: "This is not magic! Everything is written in the instructions" and the price: 2 euros. Even if this is a divorce, it is not a pity to pay 2 euros for such a divorce! I choose Simpson from a bunch of options. I give you 2 euros. The seller immediately asks: do you want to check? Of course! I take out the little man, I try to put it next to the tape recorder, but then he takes it from my hands and starts selling it that in order to do everything right, you need to bend one more piece of paper here on the back of the little man ... "Probably this piece of paper gives sail to the little man "- a thought flickers, but at that moment he puts mine next to the already dancing one and they start dancing together! Mind turns off. I put it in a bag... And then I forgot about it, putting it in the side pocket of my bag. And when I remembered, I unfolded the long instruction, smiled, and everything worked out for me:
What was in the instruction below

"Folk doll as a means of familiarization with the folk culture”
Nowadays, on the shelves of shops you can see a lot of beautiful toys, they are all made in a factory way, which means deprived of the warmth of the souls of their creators. We believe that children should see not not only toy robots and dolls produced in large quantities, but also toys, made by the hands of a master who put his soul, his skill and their dreams and desires. Each author's doll is unique, it has its own history and your image.
Doll - the most the oldest and most popular toy so far.
She's obligatory and faithful companion of children's games, but at the same time the most accessible work of art for children. Doll - children's toy in the form of a human figure. Dolls imitate adult world, thereby preparing the child for adult relationships. Because the the doll depicts a person, she is able to play different roles and often becomes a friend and partner of the child. He acts with her the way he wants, forcing her to fulfill her, sometimes secret, dreams and desires. doll game, thus, plays a serious social and psychological role, embodying and forming a certain ideal, giving vent to hidden emotions. The purpose of the work. Promote family unity by introducing folk culture through co-creation.
Tasks. Draw attention to the history of the doll by making it stand out dignity; develop imagination, taste, creative imagination. acquaint with basic handicrafts.
Molds. Consultation for parents "Folk doll as a means of familiarizing the child with folk culture.

2. Description of a modern doll.
3. Comparison of traditional doll with mass produced toys.
4. Practical recommendations for parents.
Results. Teaching children how to make traditional dolls, we made sure:
it's addicting both girls and boys. Only patches were used to create dolls fabrics and threads. Naivety and lack of naturalism, on the one hand, and rich the imagination of children, the non-standard of their thinking - on the other hand, make it possible create amazing puppets. Pleased with the result - bright, colorful, festive puppet dance. And most importantly, the value of the traditional doll and its wonderful ability to give children joy is not lost.
Types traditional dolls
Rag dolls are dolls that are made using ancient techniques and technology.
According to their purpose, they are divided into three groups: amulet dolls, play dolls and ritual. Charm dolls. The rag dolls did not have a face. It has to do with ancient beliefs. about the doll as a magical object. The faceless doll played the role of a talisman. The absence of a face served as a sign that the doll was an inanimate thing, which means that inaccessible to the installation of evil forces in it. Amulet - like a magic spell, saving a person from danger. Two weeks before the birth of the child, the future mother placed such a doll - a charm in the cradle. Doll dresses were not just sewn Yes, but with meaning. The outfit must have had a red color-color sun, warmth, health, joy. It was also believed that he had a protective action:
protects from the evil eye and injuries. The embroidered pattern was not accidental either. Each of its elements had a magical meaning, and the pattern, like the doll, was supposed to protect the child. On the puppet the dress was embroidered with circles, crosses, rosettes - signs of the sun, female figures and deer figurines are symbols of fertility, wavy lines are a sign of water, horizontal lines sign of the earth, diamonds with dots inside the symbol of the sown fields, vertical lines - signs of a tree, eternally living nature.
Usually, such dolls were small in size and of different colors, this developed vision baby. A charm doll was hung over the head of the bed. They believed that she drives away bad dreams. An angel was made as a birthday present. Play dolls intended for children's play. They were stitched and folded. Vintage dolls were made without a needle and thread. A thick one was wound on a wooden stick. layer of fabric, which is then tied with a rope. Then tied to a stick head with handles and dressed in elegant clothes. Rolled dolls include twist dolls, which were made like this: the body is a piece of cloth, twisted around its axis and fastened with a thread. Hands did the same, but a small a ball-head was attached to the body with a thread.
It is believed that the most ancient among the traditional rolled dolls was log doll and was a wooden log dressed in stylized clothes. Later, a more complex doll appeared. She represented is the simplest image of a female figure, a piece of cloth rolled into a "rolling pin" carefully covered with linen cloth, hair braid, chest stuffed with cotton wool balls.
The most simple doll is the lady. It was made for the most small ones. First, the body was made, covered with a white cloth, tied up in three places, then taken flap, covered with it part of the body, bandaged it, separating the head. Remains the fabrics on the sides were cut and braided into braids - hands. The doll was wearing a skirt an apron, a scarf was tied on the head. Ritual dolls. Ritual dolls revered and placed in a hut, in a red corner. They had a ritual purpose. It was believed that if the house has hand-made fertility doll, then there will be prosperity and a good harvest.
Mowing depicted a woman during haymaking. Maslenitsa was made of straw or lila, but wood was always used - thin birch trunk. Straw, like wood, personified violent power vegetation. Clothes on the doll should be with a floral pattern. in Tula provinces, for example, Shrovetide was made in human growth, from bast or straw. It was fixed on a wooden cross. The doll was decorated with ribbons, artificial flowers.
On her hands they put the dishes used in cooking pancakes, they hung ribbons, tying which people thought desires. These ribbons, in order for wishes to come true, had to burn along with doll. Contemporary doll
Contemporary The doll has childish proportions. She bats her huge eyes and blushes. She is dressed in both children's and adult clothes. With the advent of Barbie The puppet world has been revolutionized. The girls enthusiastically accepted the new toy, because her external data corresponded to their idea of \u200b\u200bbeautiful. But Barbie exists only in the environment of its own things. For her, you need to buy furniture, a house, then a pool, a car, a friend, and so on ad infinitum. Barbie product of the consumer society. She is soulless and childish. Acting with such doll, the child himself turns into a soulless doll playing on the stage of life the laws of the consumer society.
comparison traditional folk toy,
with mass production toy
Like traditional doll, and the modern mass-produced doll has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The traditional Russian rag doll was faceless, which allowed to dream and fantasize. Children could invent in what mood is the doll and what is its character. The advantages of such a doll were its rapid production, originality and originality. So kind and good a sewn doll was considered a good gift and was regarded as a standard of needlework. It was judged on the taste and skill of the hostess. The disadvantage of the rag doll was that she could not be washed, combed and dressed in new clothes, because the costume, as a rule, was never removed from the doll. Advantage of modern doll that it is durable. It can be washed, combed, dressed in different clothes. The doll can change profession: doctor, astronaut, firefighter, etc. She is manufactured and sold together with related accessories; for example, Barbie with a set of kitchen utensils is called "Barbie cook". Modern dolls have a head, arms, legs and the waist can bend. Their disadvantage is that they are not individual, but are embedded in mass production.
They dull children's taste and imagination and do not teach them to work and needlework. Let's repeat, dolls are not only toys, but also close friends. They look like people. In games with with dolls, children learn to communicate, fantasize, create, show mercy. But the main thing in these games is emotional contact. children don't just get used to dolls - they become attached to them as to living beings and painfully part with them. You should not throw away the old doll, it is better to wash it, comb it, sew it for her new clothes. All these actions are lessons in sensitivity, thrift, attention, kindness. Dressing an old doll in new clothes is a lesson in good taste and artistic crafts. Dolls accompany us all our lives. They entertain teach, educate, decorate the house, serve as an object of collecting, gift. If you really want, then everyone can make their own doll, not limiting yourself in your fantasies. She will have her own character, her own bright individuality.

History O-Take
Educator. Today I'll tell you a story who happened to a girl, then we will discuss what you learned new from this story.
Far, far away, in the middle of the sea-ocean, in that direction, where the sun rises, lies an amazing country. That's what it's called
Land of the Rising Sun, or in a word - Japan.
In that country, in ancient times in a small village there lived a girl named O-Take. Father O-Take grew rice, mother
helped him in the field and ran the household. A girl helped her mother, because she had already changed her baby kimono with sewn ribbons to another, which required a separate obi - a wide belt. (The teacher shows a picture of Japan in traditional attire, pointing to a kimono and a belt, and then asks the children to find these items of clothing on their pictures. This is the dress O-Take wore, which means she was seventh a year and everyone thought she was a big girl. She carried water, and kneaded the dough, and she cooked soup, and knocked out a sleeping futon in the yard.
But most of all O-Take liked to weave with mother cloth made of cotton.
For the Hina Matsuri Doll Festival, which is celebrated in at the very beginning of spring, mother allowed her to make her own the only doll is an adult kimono. O-Take was very fond of her doll she didn't have best friend: she fed her rice from her cup, changed her hair less than once every ten days, put her to bed with her, talked to her as with a real girl. And for the holiday of dolls, O-Take embroidered the hem of her beloved kimono dolls with a wonderful pattern of intertwined leaves and flowers.
To this day O-Take with mother in ancient Japanese traditions arranged an exhibition that depicted the real imperial court. There were also courtiers in festive clothes, and guards with heavy swords and bows and arrows, I am musicians with whistles, drums and bells. True, they were all paper. Empress in a place of honor sat favorite doll O-Take - in a real kimono, decorated with skillful embroidery, with a new hairstyle and with a colorful fan.
All day on the eve of the holiday, the girl decorated room with peach flowers, paper lanterns and fans, prepared various sushi (the teacher shows the listed items) and sweets.
But O-Take didn't have to have fun. By the evening mom became ill, and in the morning she no longer got up from her futon and only asked drink in a quiet, weak voice. O-Take would sit with her mother without leaving, but in the afternoon to them two neighbors with their daughters came to congratulate on the holiday, and the rules good manners demanded from the girl a cordial reception of guests. The neighbors did not stay long: tasted the treat, expressed their sympathy for the illness of the hostess and gathered at home.
O-Take came out to see them off, and one of the girls and says:
Do not be sad, girlfriend! You can help your mom.
- How can I help her if the doctor lives far beyond mountain, and the snow in the mountains has not yet come down and you can’t get there along the steep paths? — objected O-Take.
You don't have to go anywhere. Don't you know that after the holiday you can throw the doll into the river and pray that she takes all the troubles?
I know, dear friend! But my mother said that the doll will take with it only my troubles.
- Of course, O-Take! But is mother's illness really Isn't your biggest problem today? Do as I say and see what will be!
- Mommy, I love you so much! How can I grow without you? Who will teach me? Who will take pity on me?
Mom with difficulty tore her hand from the blanket, wanted to stroke and comfort her girl, but without strength again dropped her and only sighed long, with a groan.
O-Take went to the festive toy exhibition and took her doll in her arms.
- jingu my dear, she whispered to the doll, whose name rang like little bell, we'll have to part with you! Can you see how sick my mommy. We need to help her get better. You won't leave me in trouble, will you? You will you help me?
With these words, O-Take shod geta - shoes on wooden sole, threw on a cape of sewn straw, put on a conical straw hat, wrapped her doll in a cloak with a hood, pressed it to her chest and left home.
O-Take quickly went to a small river, which merrily jumped on the bottom pebbles, rejoicing at the first warmth.
The girl felt sorry to part with the only and beloved doll. But most of all she regretted mother, who was fading away so quickly from an unknown illness. O-Take held out a toy over the talkative river and raised her eyes to the sky, aloud saying the words of the prayer, which she came up with along the way. - Oh my God! Take my doll, I give it to you. This is the most valuable thing I have. Only my mom is more expensive. help my mother get well.
With these words, O-Take squatted down and gently let her chrysalis through the waves. Toy girl at first stood up, sticking only her head above the water, swayed, either with reproach, or with readiness, and then tipped over on her back and rushed along with the river into unknown edges.
O-Take looked after her for a long time.
The girl sniffed her nose, sniffed tighter straw cape looked once more at the river, which had carried away her beloved doll and wiped her tears, remembering her mother’s words: “The main values in life are only those that you he himself raised in himself at the cost of his own disappointments, tears and losses.
O-take returned home and took care of her mother until she recovered. That's the whole story about a girl. What happened to her chrysalis, we'll find out next time.
Conversation
Educator . Children, remember what's new learned from this sad story with a happy ending.
What is the name of the country where the girl lived?
Where is she?
History says that Japan is located among sea-ocean. And who knows what the land is called, surrounded on all sides by water?
What was the girl's name?

And who understood what a futon is? Actually this a set of a thick mattress-mattress and a wadded blanket, which are rolled up in the morning and clean up.
