I always see fairly simple uses for duct tape. But i kinda think that somewhere out there is a true duct tape master ... Who can cut strips into ingenious patterns and do all kinds of amazing stuff. Anybody seen anything like that??

Anchorage had just held its annual Duct Tape Ball. Performers at the Fly By Night Club have been playing rolls of duct tape as musical instruments for 16 years. Pilots use the stuff to repair airplane wings. Dog mushers stick it on their faces to prevent frostbite. And duct tape — to the surprise of no one in Alaska — has its adherents in the criminal ranks. In 1994, when authorities found the body of Joe Vogler, leader of the state's secessionist Independence Party, it was wrapped in a blue tarp and bound with duct tape. No home, car, snowmobile or boat is without it. "Duct tape is what built Alaska," said local filmmaker Laura Bliss Spaan, who is working on a "duc-umentary" titled "Sticking it out in Alaska." "It's what holds us together." Broken headlight? Ripped parka? A bear chewed the wing off your Cessna? The sturdy adhesive is the one solid answer to almost any Alaska problem.

The Fly By Night Club, which serves up wacky musical comedy and a full Spam menu, was the first to elevate the drab, little roll to musical instrument in the mid-1980s, said the club's owner, known as Mr. Whitekeys. For live performances, the club's duct-tape musician stands at the microphone and rips the tape to a particular rhythm, making a kke kke kke sound. The fall show featured a banjo-vs.-duct tape duel. For the Christmas show, a club organizer built a 4½-by-2-foot instrument dubbed an acoustic wave golden tone stereosonic ductaphone and played heartwarming renditions of "Jingle Bells" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."
