Great idea, similar to "Creature" by Keith Lack and "The Littlest Demon" by my late friend DeNomolos (Ed Solomon).

The gimmick is unusually sticky as hell... Which ultimately resulted in the feathers coming off and ruining the gimmick/prop, to my sheer disappointment. Ultimately within a week of use the gimmick is now completely destroyed despite my best efforts to protect it and keep it shielded. I'll now have to try to resurrect it myself using a different kind of glue if that's even possible OR worth my time, money and effort.

All in all, and in all justness, I DID get great results from it in performance before it got destroyed (I took supreme care of it mine you, and it still got wrecked).

One performance highlight was while casually performing it on the train, knowing that a nosy passenger was staring at us in the seat adjacent to ours. I held my hands cupped as if holding something delicate, drawing subtle attention to my hands. I made the "thing" peak out of my cupped hands for a moment and closed up my hands, while gesturing to my wife, for me to place "it" into her pocketbook. After miming placing it in her bag, my wife quickly zipped it up as if it would try to escape, lol!! A couple minutes later, rosy the nosy passenger leaned over to her husband an whispered to him: "I just saw something really, really weird, I think we should move to another part of the train." ;)

Since the gimmick came apart on me within only the first week of using it, I in all honestly cannot recommend it. Again the idea and concept (although nothing new) was good, yet the execution was very poor in my opinion and in my experience. there are a million different types of glue on the market, Rodger Lovins couldn't find one that actually works? No excuse!

I recommend passing on this effect/prop UNTIL Mr. Lovins comes out with a non-gooey and durable gimmick.

P.S. The gimmick Mr. Lovins uses in his explanation video looks a hell of a lot more realistic and better than mine. Keep that in mind as well.

Dua.
