The rapping hand is a classic of magic and goes back before any of us were born, so I claim no firsts there. I did develop, design, and build Lovely Lucy to be sold through OE, and that was indeed *their* first rapping hand prop. A variety of reasons that need not trouble us here caused me to cease building that particular prop, and a few months later OE (very kindly) asked if I had any objections to their getting someone else to build a rapping hand. I replied that, so long as it looked nothing like Lovely Lucy (a doll's arm which was indeed my own idea and design), I really could not object, seeing as the rapping hand idea is so old as to now be in the public domain. They ultimately rolled out their Hobbs Hand, which borrowed the aged ceramic look of Lovely Lucy and combined it with a more traditional Thayer-style hand. Personally, I thought it looked well.

Gostone23: no current plans, but one never knows. One of the limitations of Lovely Lucy was that it was always intended as an accessory for other OE products (most of you will understand what that means). If I ever did think of bringing back a rapping hand/doll's arm, it would employ a stand-alone method--preferably something new--and it would be old school (always my preference).
Darkness: 'Bite the hand' . . . classic! BC

Something new while using something old. Instead of an OE accessory, perhaps a rapping hand, tap dancers shoe, or talking skull for the clear glass tray described in Trayf (Mind, Myth and Magick). No batteries required. Oh so simple, and as they say, hidden in plain sight.
