Hold on....Here:

:wink:
Really I don't know, I can't seem to find it sold as a "product' unless it's very obscure and in a darkly lit magic shop on the east side of the tracks down by the hobo station. I do know though, that if you own a chop cup or the balls you know how to make your own. Find a toy mouse, play around with what makes the idea "work" and you can do it. Magicians need to get back to making more stuff themselves, makes it original.

Knit or sew a mouse (ie a cone with a string tail on the large end) and then stuff it with steel wool that you wash your pots and pans up with*



* I'm assuming you do do your washing up and don't leave stuff lying around dirty.

Vernon used to chew me out for producing cute little bright colored mice from under my cups. . . I got them at a pet store in Cincinnati and had used them for years. They're probably still laying around here someplace, though worn a bit after 30 years of use. :twisted:
