I don't know.
I just set up my two jars about an inch appart, the eyes were attracted to each other (I guess they like the way the other looks). When approached the one on the far right with an old relic I had, that eye turned to look, then the other eye turned in a different direction almost matching the one on the right. |

Keep in mind as you experiment, that one of your Demented Eyes was a test model and has a much weaker 'thingy' in it than the other one.

Truly the eye has charmed (or creeped out) every audience-especially the volunteer. This is briliant Higley idea...as if there were any other kind. I cant wait for the manuscript/book/dvd/tv series/ezine all dedicated to eyeball magic. Keep up the good work and BTW that extra little soemthing you sent me has been a real charmer too!
Monkey's paw is available now??

Using one Demented Eye to influence the movement of another is inspired genius!
A crazy, possibly stupie idea came to me. Strong small magnets near each bow hinge of a pair ofreading glasses. When placed in front of the jar, causes the eye to move in a desired direction? Eye looking even bigger through the optical lens. PS: Doug, jar idea didni work out. I owe you one jar. KOTAH |

Ok Ron. Using multiple Eyes to create an effect is something I've been working on from the beginning and yes it is inspired genius or as UFO puts it, 'Brilliant'. I accept...better than being a 'pee pee hat'.
However! The risk of getting carried away with an Olympic Eye on Steroids is NOT what is called for...otherwise you have a silly novelty and not something creepy...the movement of the Eye must remain SUBTLE and in the realm of "Did that thing just look at me?" SUBTLE means SUBTLE. The Eye is capable of spinning at high speed and doing back flips (those that have one know it) but that's not what you should be after. Thank you. Ron...you owe me a jar.

I just showed The Ripper Set (especially the Eye!) to my fellow EMT graduates last night. Whoooo-man! My instructor thought it was absolutely disturbing (and she' been around body parts and mayhem for 16+ years!) Everybody was completely enthralled in the pieces! Of couse I then had to explain why I've got these body parts on me!
Cue Ripper story. Cue routine. It was a think of beauty!

Had some unpleasant dental work on Wednesday. As I was writing a check at the office counter, I put the bottle with the eye down beside me. (It was in my bag with the checkbook, etc.) This is the older, 'original' eye.
There was a LOT of very nervous silence as I answered the expected questions. I imagine, to some folks, there really isn't much explanation of any comprehensible motivation for carrying around a human (?) body part in a bottle. Known here as a meditation instructor, amongst other things, it was easy to explain that it was my 'third eye.' I don't think that helped much. Sad that I only ordered the DEMENTED eye yesterday. It could have turned and made . . . (wait for it) . . . eye contact. HA! brane |

Doug Higley, you are a genius. I've been away from the Café for a while. I returned to find all this talk about the Eye. Just visited your site and have placed an order for the DM with Eye. This looks fantastic.
I used to market an effect through our site that used one of Kennedy's Kinetic Crystals to move an eye across a spread of cards. I managed to locate a couple again recently which I sold but this eye effect really looks great and uses something that looks like it was just recently popped out of a socket. Well done again!

I just received Higley's Eye, and I must say it is creepy. 5 out of 5 for creep value alone. Here is a little story, partly true, changed to fit the prop.
My grandfather always kept an eye on me. When he died, he bequeathed this to me, to remind me that he was always watching, even from the dead . . . He was old, born in 1900, and he did not always approve of "modern " living. I often feel his presence here, not always comforting, but always watching, following everything I do. Yes, this is really is his right eye. I have thrown it away several times, but it always comes back. I remember the first time. My girl friend (long past) convinced me to toss it out. I put it in the garbage, and a couple days later I awoke to find it staring down at me from my chest of drawers. It freaked me out, but I figured it must have fallen out and someone returned it. Only everyone deigned doing it; in fact only my girlfriend and I knew I had tossed it. Later that week I went on an all day hike and threw it as far as I could into a swampy area and forgot about it. Within a week it was staring down at me from my chest of drawers. This. Really. Scared. Me. I lived on the coast, above a boat harbor. I ran out to the farthest pier and threw it as far out into deep water as I could. It would never be retrieved - but it was, somehow. Within a few days it woke me again, staring down at me in the morning light. I then tried to smash it, but I couldn't. Something held me back. Now, I have made peace with it and my grandfather. I sense him, and sometimes, just sometimes, I think he is actually looking out of this disapproving eye at me and the changing world. Now I find it comforting that he is looking out for me. |
