Nicolas Cage Sequin Pillow Cover

Brush your hand across a shimmering sequin cushion and, like a magic trick, Nicolas Cage’s face appears. Brush the other way and he vanishes back into glitter. That is the whole act, and it is a surprisingly good one. The front is reversible flip sequins, so a swipe of the fingers changes the color or the image, and the face comes in two color combinations. Cage has spent a career staring intensely out of movies, so it feels fitting that he now does it from your couch.

The cover is about 16 by 16 inches, with a soft suede back, and it’s listed as 50% sequin and 50% cotton. It’s described as handmade, which I find oddly charming for something this ridiculous. Reveal lovers get the payoff. Leave it on a sofa where a guest will absentmindedly smooth the sequins and watch their face when Cage appears. That makes it a natural white elephant gift, a roommate surprise, or a birthday present for the friend who owns every Cage movie. If your gift table already has a prank bent, the Rick Roll QR Code Wifi Sign is a fellow traveler in the same spirit.

The first night you bring it home, you’ll find you’re buying the cover only, so you’ll need to supply your own insert. Sequin pillows also tend to be more about looking and petting than napping, so I’d treat this as a conversation piece first and a headrest second.
