The silk had long rotted away, but the piano wire framework was still intact. The Clown College prop department re-covered it, and it turned up in one of the many clown gags auditioned that year in the graduation. <BR/><BR/>The gag didn't make the cut, and the prop has never been seen since. Sad.<BR/><BR/>Looking foward to the Mitch version.<BR/><BR/>-GregAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28879641.post-1156426353286618272006-08-24T09:32:00.000-04:002006-08-24T09:32:00.000-04:00I am duplicating the big fish right now . and yes ...I am duplicating the big fish right now . and yes it is piano wire and cloth.

I'm really surprised no one has tried to duplicate his stuff, maybe they have and were unsuccessful. I've had a couple ideas but never follow through.24-HOUR-MANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946312997747434686noreply@blogger.com
