Brilliant work, Randi! I've always loved a good flea circus and this is impressive! Looking forward to your next video!

My favorite Flea so far.

I'm up to the last flea. It's the strongest flea on earth.
Two more videos after this, and one of them is the performance.

I am sorry to inform you that the fleas have reached out to me for legal counsel.

It is our case that you are taking advantage of the fleas... just making it harder for the poor flea to flip the coin with the whole magnet ruse. What about overtime and living wages? What about working conditions? How would you like to be picked up with tweezers and dumped into sweatshop labor? Maybe you could build a limo for the fleas instead of the tweezers? Maybe you can help the fleas by making little "protest" signs. As much as you are overworking them, that is the least you could do for them.

We will be presenting our demands shortly. Wait, I shouldn't use the word "shortly". We will be presenting our demands soonly.

OK, Here is our list of demands:

1. We are ok with the flea house, but we want a green pad outside the box with a helipad.
2. We demand a red carpet from the house to the helipad.
3. We are to be transported to and from the venue via helicopter.
4. We demand that the tweezers be burned.
5. We demand twice weekly outings on a big hairy dog.
6. We demand that you create protest signs just in case.

We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.

The fleas.

How insensitive. To go as far as putting the photo of our relative on the can of poison. Heinous.

Wonderful to see thin thing come to fruition!
I'd absolutely love a Flea Circus myself, but in all honesty I'm not quite sure how I'd fit it in my performance at such an investment.

Superb work, Randi! There are so many ideas, techniques, and passion here that is so inspiring. (The magnet idea for perfect hole transfer made me smile.)

I especially appreciate you showing even your missteps that were eventually replaced or modified. Those are learning lessons for your viewers, too, and I think seeing what doesn't work is as important as seeing what you finally went with.

I hope someday that we can see video of you performing this for a live audience. I would love to see the reactions, which I'm sure would be wonderful.

Bravo!

Ross
