    No gasps, but my wife said the reflection from my cantle pinpointed me through the show. I may have to find a black cantle for next season.

    Hmmmn! I would not recommend a black cantle (if such exists!). Your almost all-black outfit needs the relief that a regular dress cantle will provide. From the auditorium it could appear that you are not wearing a sporran at all, if you dispense with that touch of silver!

    Maybe there is something you could apply to it (on a temporary basis, of course) that would prevent a 'high gloss' reflection - something to just dull it down a little to give it more of a matt surface. I do not know what product to suggest, but there must be something available out there that could be sprayed on, and wiped off again as required.

    Just a thought!

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Try hair spray. That's what we use on stage when a prop mirror becomes too reflective. It is easily removed with a rag and warm water.
