Y'know those elaborate layouts that have a bunch of chain reactions all leading up to a simple task? (i.e. pressing a button, flushing a toilet, pouring water, etc) Well, me and my friend (not the one from my last question) are thinking about making one for the school talent show, what do you think?

You are talking about a Rube Goldberg machine. Check out the link below.
My only caution to you is that they are be very complex to build and things can go wrong easily. It would take a lot of planning and you might not have a lot of time to set it up for the talent show. Also, will you need to be close up in order for people to see it?

It's a very impressive idea, but as many people have proved, getting a device like that to preform perfect takes a lot of testing. I think it will be awesome. Especially with all the distracting gadgets we have now and days that don't take much to opperate. Make it flashy people still like 'shiny' things.

Anything to cause an interaction with the human kind is a good idea. Besides, who likes to read now-a-days anyhow? Viva La flushing sounds!
