Ok, I have been wanting to get this for a while, but, is it an actual routine (ie-think Jeff Hobson) or is it more related in style (not in method, although that does not matter here) as in the harry riser egg bag advert. in minch's new book, Secrets of an escamateour? I saw it was on the dvd and I would like to know if the routine is entertaining, magical, and is it a routine or just an effect?

I sell the Garrett DVD and it is (from what I hear) not a routine.
It's a contact juggling bit an appearance and a vanish of the ball.

if you're looking for good egg bag material:

ron bauer - siamese goose egg bag routine
john carney - up close and far away video (out of print. ebay)
ken brooke routine
gazzo DVD (if you can find one.)
greater magic on the egg bag
harry riser's new book SoaE
hobson will be coming out with a new eggbag DVD in the summer
denny henny DVD

It's not really a contact juggling routine... He does some contact juggling in it.. but that's not really part of the effect.

It is, however, accomplished by pure manipulation and sleight of hand. So practice is a requirement.

Penguin Magic will put out the Gazzo Egg Bag DVD sometime. Might not be our lifetime.
