I dreamt this idea the night after after working a ticket booth at a fundraiser
for a theater troup called Squallis Puppets.
A realistic little finger-sized monster with one giant bulging eyeball twitches
inside a little cramped jar of murky salt water I hold here in my hand, one
finger of
which I use to operate the monster. A screw-on ring on the
bottom of the jar seals a rubber glove finger which goes up into the
underwater finger puppet.
Classic trick to play on your sisters kids

The monster should have a round mouth with internal teeth like a lamprey, which it can press up against the glass. |
|
| |
The internal teeth should be ceramic, so when the sucker mouth is pressed against the glass the teeth can go "click, click" on the glass. |
|
| |
The eyeball housing is clear and full of clear viscous goo. The ball itself moves randomly about within. |
|
| |
Everyone wonders why you refuse to raise it higher than your waist. |

Brilliant, [mustard]. Reminds me of another gruesome finger powered illusion. <link> |

Love it.
Link's broken for me [MikeD]. |
