I have been truly loving working with this piece for the past month and change. While I began with
the prop version, I found it to be cumbersome, and a slight over complication to the proceedings.
I've since ditched that method for the no-prop style, and have had great success since. It
makes it compact, stand-up, slick, and less reverse-engineerable.
This is a great addition
to a repertoire, but certainly not for everyone.
