I did the burning... great tip about the nail polish and pushing the gimmick in to minimize it. When I intoduce the doll I do it with an air of seriousness. It's mine, made with my hair woven into the doll and I would not let anyone touch my "legit" voodoo doll. I don't treat it as a gimmick. I treat it like a sacred object so it does not make sense to give it out for examination. Nice suggestion Davey. Cheers
