These are some giant, 20' genie puppets I helped my mom make and operate for her show.
When the lamps were rubbed we would turn on the smoke machine. Against a screen of rising mist Karma Christensen and I would haul these genies from their hiding, sitting positions behind the set as quickly as we could to the top of the stage on a set of pulleys. From the audience they would seem to explode to the top where they would then talk and wave their arms at the actors.
The evil red genie!
The good blue genie.
It's very frustrating when your actors can't remember their parts. Here I am reminding the blue genie what his motivation is for granting Aladdin his third and final wish.
