Hey,

I'm looking for... I don't know what the term would be... but basically I would be standing, and there would be a dummy on either side of me - so it would look like there are three of me.

I guess - in the old days it could have been an act impersonating the Bee Gees?

Anyone know what that sort of prop would be called.

I have seen them. But I guess they are so specialised the acts will have made them themselves?

But if not - anyone have an idea where/if you can buy one? Or how to make one. Can't think of what to use... well... I could use a couple of naughty dolls - but not sure that's a good way to get repeat children show bookings.

Thanks for any help

I['ve seen this act with one appearing as the Jackson Five. I think your instinct is right. They are custom-made by the individual.

I used to own a costume shop. I have a feeling you can't buy one, or at last not a good one. You can find creative costume designers, prop makers, art school students, etc who might tackle making one for you.

I may be wrong, but I think I saw Ricky Dunn perform with something similar, using four figures, ages ago. It has to be custom-made.
