LONDON --  Have you ever seen a puppet dance on a piano? Well, you are about to witness one of the world's greatest pleasures and we have Barnaby Dixon to thank for this. 

The puppet, who is dancing in beat to each note played by pianist Dave, was an idea Dixon thought of a year and a half ago.

Created and designed by Dixon, the puppet is a very flexible invention, which you can clearly see was very carefully thought out.
