Gingerly, Strange sets Sherlock down on the ground. After all, he's going to need his hands for this. Besides, if this does work, he doesn't want to be suddenly holding a fully grown man.

He places his hands out, pointing them at Sherlock, palms out. Closing his eyes, he starts to mutter something under his breath...but then nothing happens. Strange opens one eye, frowns at the lizard, then closes his eye and continues to mutter again, obviously annoyed.

Yeah. It's not working.
