I have a dove tray but I no longer do doves. I put a sign on the front of the tray saying "bird from balloon". When the ballon pops instead of a dove appearing it is a bunch of white feathers (actually ripped up toilet paper to look like feathers) I would like give this effect more of a kick without being offensive and gross. i.e. a dove head hanging from the tray, etc. Any ideas?

Bar of dove soap?
(I think blood spurting onto the front row is funny but that's just me...)

or just play taps and take off your hat ...

say it is ballon to snake and when no snake look around the room nervously...

say it is balloon to rat have a hunk of white fur spring loaded to launch into the audience...

ok maybe not funny to the audience but I would laugh

I like the Balloon to Snake!

How about a stuffed cat appearing along with the torn "feathers".

I also like calamari's idea of a bar of Dove Soap.
There's also a bottle of Dove Dishwashing,
Or a bottle of Dove hand lotion (Which you apply immediately, pick up some cards, do a few flourishes then state, "That's better.")
!!! Wow! I like! I may just have to buy a dove tray now.

I like the idea of "Dove to Snake" and "Dove Soap Bar"

Thanks guy's... I wonder what happened to the original poster??

I'm here, thanks everybody. All great ideas. I like the cat with the feathers in the mouth. Good stuff.
