Re: ZOMBIE Hand-Little Hand New Version
Since I invented the Little Hand trick, there have been numerous rip-offs. The latest is by Ellusionist with something called "Cat's Paw." They didn't ask my permission. They didn't pay me for a licence. Apparently, unable to invent their own tricks, they have to take mine. Michael Ammar and Hanson Chien put out licensed versions of my trick. They did the right thing. Ellusionist did not and they deserve blacklisting. Maybe they should read my new book, "How To Invent Your Own Trick Even If You're An Idiot."

I read that book in 1973 and it changed my life.

Re: ZOMBIE Hand-Little Hand New Version
Adding insult to injury, the dopey guys at Ellusionist used a cat's paw, rather than a little hand, thus completely eliminating any humor in the trick. Dumb is bad enough, but the trinity of defalcation, dumbness and humorless is rare.

Me too, since there is one in the house--I meant no disrespect for our feline friends, only for those Neanderthals at Ellusionist (where magic evolution never happened).

She certainly appears to be well adjusted.
The cat paw and ball of yarn is certainly a good take on the effect!
