They wouldnt feel it, but when they look at where they were supposedly bitten, they have bite marks. I was just now thinking about it again, and I came up with the idea to use a snake skeleton, which, although the specemin is dead, still bites. After waving the head over or near thier hand, it actually leaves fang marks. With this I have a few questions... is it a marketed effect? If it is, than I do not need to proceed any further. If it isn't, than do any of you know where I could find a snake skeleton? Thanks! Ty

The elf left foot prints in the sand and bit a guest with an evil giggle. Perhaps someone can recall which of his books it is in? (Note that many of Sheils' effects required turning out the lights TTFN, Sam Haine Magical entertainment for charities www.sam-haine.com
