Fellow speaker,
Sometimes you can use a prop more than once in your speech...and get an entirely new meaning out of it. For example, a speaker told a story about their father at the race track, betting on a horse and losing, and tearing his losing ticket in half in disappointment. She used a prop to show what happened, and tore a piece of paper in half and dropped the pieces on the stage. Later in the speech she talks about the death of her father and of cleaning up his room, looking through the stacks of failed betting slips. She used the same prop she used earlier, picking up the pieces of paper on the stage, and quietly looking at it. The first time the prop is used it represents the speaker's father's failed bets. The second time the prop is used it represents the speaker's dead father.
Twice as nice,
Tim
