Cool video. Anyway, perhaps try telekinesis at first? It's essentially the same idea. There's actually a method in the tutorial that is similar to what you are aiming to do: Imaginary Links Another common method of telekinesis is to imagine a physical, but invisible link between your hand and the object. This cements in your mind that you have control of the object and makes it easier for the brain to comprehend what it is seeing. An imaginary rope or grabber are common links. Your link could be the puppet strings. That way they would definitely be there and you would only have to make them visible, which might be an easier approach to the problem.

I think I would just possess them, Like go inside of them and control them that way, Or like the above post said, use telekinesis.
