E.T. Halloween Puppet

This build was for a Halloween costume. I wanted to create a puppet based on the character E.T. from Spielberg’s film.

Inside the Magic: Featured article

Patrick Fragale Jr
One of my creations had the privilege of being featured on insidethemagic.net. In this article, Michael Gavin of Inside the Magic explains how I re-created my favorite Disneyland attraction Peter Pan’s flight in my own home. The project came to life with the use of innovative engineering, many trips to LOWES and a little bit of pixie dust. Being a loyal fan to the Inside the Magic site, having the chance to showcase my work to the Disney community was truly sublime.
