This effect may be quite enjoyable for audiences. Kids have always loved Hippity Hop Rabbits, et. al. On the other hand, few come away thinking that they actually witnessed wooden rabbits coming to life.
There is a difference between miraculous and entertaining, and I personally think this will fall squarely into the later category. I honestly don't think it has anything to do with being a jaded or unimaginative magician. Examinability is a red herring: if you do indeed convince anyone of Little Man's miraculous life, you certainly won't let him be killed by dismemberment, as it should terribly upset your audience. |

Wow, Steve. I am giving my opinion, I didn't have to search hard for something negative to say. I don't think it looks all that good. Especially not $300 good. I am a real-world close up worker, and it looks as if it would be difficult to transport/carry around while working. Maybe I should write a haiku about how dissapointing this looks after all the hype? This thing was supposed to be ready ages ago, but supposedly they were having trouble not with the trick, but with the video editing. After all that time I did expect a little more that's all. I'm sure there are others on the site that agree with my opinion, and I'm sure there are people who agree with you. We'll agree to disagree, but please don't start attacking me personally for giving an opinion. Can't we all just get along?

Twisted Ace...to answer you question, a haiku would be nice! Go for it!

 I'll leave that to the poetically inclined. Like I said though, some people will love this and other people won't. That's the wonderful thing about magic, we can all be different.

For those that are bothered by it not taking independant steps when it has legs, how about forming it into something that does not have legs so can't take steps? How about a penguin which has no legs (only visible feet) which waddles along in a similar manner?
Looks great btw!

If penguins in cartoons can wear a tux then they can even wear shoes, hat, scarf and gloves. Dress it up however we want

There use to be The Mr Bill show on Saturday Nite Live in the 80's which this reminds me of.

I'd say just lean back and watch Little Man do his thing along with the audience. Giving the Little Man away at the end is a really nice touch too, IMO. I'm wondering where I can find a cool little plastic cap and other fashion accessories for Little Man? Can you buy this sort of thing at a toy store? Robert |

It is entertaining. Let's face it, we all expected a gumby video with him walking and dancing! For what it is, it's pretty cool from the demo. Even though I think it's obvious how it's done, for a layman who helps mold the clay from the beginning and takes it away looking for the "gimmick" and finds nothing, it looks pretty sweet.

Does the Little Man have to be dressed or can he be totally naked? (ie. just the clay without putting the torn pieces of card). The heart doesn't bother me, but could this be clay too?

I never expected him to really walk, like a human or clay animation. But what do you guys want? Paul Harris came up with something extraordinary nobody thought of before... I can see myself performing this with a voodoo type effect or even combining it with Peter's Voodoo Touches. Only thing I don't really like is the bag. Pehaps Version 2.0 will not need one...

I'm on the fence with this now...
I see great potential and to everyone saying it's not "walking"... Babys don't walk when they are first "born". But also, think about this: you are creating life from clay. There are no bones or joints. Therefore how can a leg bend? For $300, I'm not so convinced. But it seems to have TONS of potential...I'll have to wait on official reviews. Mike
