Not much information about it at this point. Maybe it comes with a gimmick??

A bag of the U.F.Grant type perhaps?

This has gotta be more than a ziplock f@@@@ bag, right?

I think it's pretty obvious what you're getting. And no, it's not a ziploc bag.

Says no extra coins. Also, says it's a free choice.

FREE Choice for real or seemingly free choice?

Says it is something a little different.
Describes it as a Pseudo skill demonstration.

Pseudo?

Waiiting on reviews.

Nick its a free choice you could repeat this 50 times and get three different coins selected every time. The selection of the coins is the fairest part of this.

Of course it's a free choice. Afterwards they put them back into the bag and you reach in a find them.

Just within the trailer it gives a pretty cool idea of how to use any such gimmick.

It‘s offically out today.

No flat pack shipping. ..???...Boo!

I was actually thinking about the same thing.

I just looked at Grab Bag on Penguin and the page says free shipping in the US.

Is this really good [?]

On Pengiun it has 15 x 5 star reviews and nothing lower than 5*

Or is that normal for a Penguin release - that some people get it early and they tend to give things strong reviews

As some of Lax releases have been poor - I wonder if they started off with all the good reviews...

Just wondering

Time for me to bit*ch and moan again.....

I am amazed again that people try to sell an effect by showing audience reaction and "talking" through the effect which can hide many evils relating to the effects quality.

Why is it so hard to simply have a straight through performance without all the flash and audience reaction (which no one believes).

Let's have a performance demo like it would be done in a live magic store, magic convention, dealer demo, magic lecture, etc.

That says it all as to the working of this effect. IMO, as I understand the working, this is a very clever and convincing method. I see that the Ad seem to be 100% true. This certainly has many possibilities and you are not restricted to just one method.

Instead of This gimmick (made of plastic), I use my own home made out of See-through Mosquito Net. For the DIYer it's easy to make.

A Tip: To create a realistic illusion one must suitably restrict the width of the bag thus restricting the spectators hand from freely moving from left to right inside the bag. However it should allow sufficient and free wrist movement of the hand.

Always found the clear bags to be somewhat counter intuitive...

Apart from the Carlyle ones where they open/close the bag themselves...

To bad the shipping cost is either 14,30 or even 27,90 to the Netherlands.
If this would have been a free flat pack then I would definitely give these bags a try.

Ditto. ..Marc O

It's only good if you think it's good.

I mean you can pretty much see what it is. There's nothing more and nothing less.

If you want to do what they do in the video then it's good.

Are the handlings anything new?
