Cool Re: Silhouette Art

We always had an animated silhouette in the scout Gang Shows.

It was usually the story of an operation where the ‘patient’ was laid down on the table and the ‘surgeon’ took a very large knife cut the patient open and proceeded to remove a variety of objects like strings of sausages, heart etc.

All this happened behind a screen with a back light creating the silhouette for the audience.

I remember those very well in the Gang Shows Jambutty.. even though you knew what was coming up .. still made you giggle. Fancy some are a bit ruder now though.
