Where can I find the man who can move his nose like crazy?

I once watched a comedy variety show on a plane that featured, among others, a guy who could move his nose around his face in an astonishing variety of ways... it's as if it had a life of its own. Try as I might, I can't find him on the web -- any ideas? Thanks.
I just watched a clip of Charlie Schmidt on the Tonight Show, and after his bit was over, you can see him holding a piece of clear plexiglass or something... is that how the "dancing nose" thing works?

Yes. It's apparently heated so that the performer's breath won't condense.

Response by poster: Yep it was indeed Charlie Schmidt. Thanks for the answers...
Wait -- and how does the plexiglass thing work? Does that mean he can't really move his nose in a miraculously weird way? Is it an illusion?

Best answer: Nobody can move their nose like that (there just aren't any muscles to allow it) . He squishes his nose against the plexiglass and moves it around. It's superclear so it doesn't show up too obviously, and he's practiced holding it at an angle so it doesn't reflect lights back into the crowd.
