Howdy all,
35 years ago or so I put together my Egg Bag routine. Part of the routine was an original bit that to this day I don't think has seen print. Have not performed it for a while so I thought I would pass it on. It is a really easy bit to do, but a tad complicated to explain so I will try to keep it simple. Here's the basic idea. At some point in the routine you invite a spectator up to help you with the Egg Bag. You have done some vanishes and repro, etc. You get you helper up and say that you will do a vanish so amazing that it will freak everyone out. You take out the egg and you have the spectator hold it. To keep things clean you cover his hand with a lunch sack. O.k., you say, I will count to three and on three squeeze the egg as hard as you can. AS you do you will literally feel the egg disolve away and vanish from your hand. Understand? They do. 1-2-3 and they squeeze and what the audience hears is the egg cracking. What the audience sees is the look on the spectators and your face. It is a riot. You look in the bag and look chagrined and embarrassed. You twist the bag closed around the specs wrist and place a rubber band on it to keep it closed and send him back to his seat. Here's the work: The egg is blown. That is you take a pin and poke a hole in each end of the egg. Stick in a wire and break the membrane of the yolk, etc. and then blow the guts out of the egg and have scrambled egg for breakfast. Rinse the egg out carefully and refrigerate and you essentially have an empty egg! This is a very, VERY cool thing and not well known anymore. It's all presentation. Switch in the blown egg at any time you wish and do the above. When the audience hears the egg break it is just a killer. You also have the sight gag of the audience member going back to his or her seat, etc. It really looks as if the poor guy is holding a hand full of raw egg. Well, that's it. Have fun. Best,
Brad Burt

Danny Korem has a bit like that in one of his books, where he puts the egg into a spectator's pocket. It's pretty funny!

Putting an egg in someone's pocket then slapping is older than anyone here on the Café... I learned it from someone 50 some years ago.

It's even funnier if you fill the blown egg with water.

How about this instead, fill the blown egg with glitter or silver mylar confetti?

Supper Idea. Do we get to use it? If this is not a proper question, disregard it and please forgive me. I still don't fully understand everything I have read on the subject of intellectual property, when it OK to use an idea and when it’s not.
Our friends don't have to agree with me about everything and some that I hold very dear don't have to agree about anything, except where we are going to meet them for dinner.
