Lumiquest makes a nice reflector with holes in it. Some of the light
goes up to the ceiling, some bounces off the reflector. The fill ratio
depends on the height of the ceiling, but it gives a nice effect
everywhere I've tried it.

A Canon gizmo, available in both the EX550 and EX580 flash units.
According to a Canon discussion, it's a panel you put in front of the
flash head (during bouncing flash technique) for scattering some
light direcft on the subject (whiel the main beam is against the
ceiling), for retaining the catch light effect. Sort of a cheap
version of the auxiliary reflector available in some Metz flash
units.
We used to do that with white plastic spoons elastic banded to the
flash head.
