Magic Tricks

Let me just start by saying that i really love this trick. People believe there is some kind of animal in my hands and that its trying to jump out of my hands at them. Girls scream, guys are startled, and then they all ask what it was and where it went after I made him disappear. I have been using this trick the most ever since i received it in the mail simply because it is easy to do and it gets great reactions. The only reason i gave this four stars instead of five is because i have used this gimmick so much that the feathers are falling off and although i love the trick i don't want to spend twenty dollars on a new one after every several weeks of use. Does anyone know of a good way to maintain him after the feathers have fallen off?
