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.

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>
