Illuminatio Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Does anyone know the name of that traditional panto effect where a bit of fluff on a string whizzes round a set on pulleys and through screw eyes - usually accompanied by a slide whistle?

IRW Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Does anyone know the name of that traditional panto effect where a bit of fluff on a string whizzes round a set on pulleys and through screw eyes - usually accompanied by a slide whistle? I know it as a Woofenpoof...no idea if this is actually a proper term, or if it's something the director/DSM made up! Edited to add:Seems it is actually that!

ImagineerTom Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 woofenpuff wiffenpuff wizznpoof All over the country different regional accents pronounce it differently but in my 26 years of panto it's always basically the same term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
