Drama Desk awarded Axtell Expressions for “Outstanding Puppetry” for our huge puppet design of the “Luck Dog” in the off Broadway show “AMAZE” starring famed London magician Jamie Allan! The puppet head and neck is over 16′ long with a 6′ head! It has blinking eyes, a moving mouth and lifts the magician with hydraulics designed by Greg Frewin. It is performed daily on stage by Natalie Love. The Axtell team is seen below. If you have an epic custom project you want to discuss, please email Steve Axtell.
