Anyone ever done this?

So I'm pretty much caught up with everything and the mind is working overtime to come with another scare for the haunt. Our garage will be a witches lair where the candy will be served. I'm thinking of a table prop with a 4-5 inch hole cut in the center where an actor hidden under the table could fit their hand/arm through the hole and then through the bottom of a plastic cauldron filled with candy. When the tots reach for a piece the hand would pop up out of the cauldron and scare them. Was thinking of just cutting a round piece of plywood and securing four leg pieces to it with maybe some bracing for extra sturdiness, then cover it with a white drape and have a black light on it. Any other ideas would be appreciated.
TIA

My only idea is to somehow secure the bowl to the table, cuz when the TOTs get scared by an unexpected arm - all you-know-what is going to break loose. LOL

Oh yeah! I planned to put some screws through the cauldron bottom into the table top.

Cool Idea! Spirit sold a candy bucket a few years back with a glove in the middle. You put your hand through the bottom and into the glove. Then when someone grabbed a piece of candy you could grab there hand. Its scared every kind that got a piece of candy, Adults too.
