   Just saw Ronn Lucas' afternoon Las Vegas show,
which includes a bit with his bare hands.  It was
quite good and played on two levels..to the kids as
well as adults. (His shows are always delightful.)  He
was constantly adding more interest to the bit by
doing more than just a monolog, involving his other
hand, interaction with the rest of his body, for
example and it never got dull. 

 Your clip was clever, but I was losing interest
before the end, even though it was only 1:30 min.  As
others suggest, you might consider two eyes, one
falling off, etc. or transform your hands from the
frog look into something else, or at least hint that
something else is about to happen to build some
suspense. Not "wrapping" it up will make the viewer
want to see more.....you, know, What happened?  

  Not a criticism, just suggestions.   Jim Gamble
