Looking for a force bag that holds 10 to 20 items the size of a half dollar but the item is a little delicate. I have checked out the Alpha Force Bag and the Use the force bag and I am interested in any comment about these bags or any other ones.Mike

Seconded - ed's a good man, he's always including little freebies when I order too - must be my musk...i've got the 2way...

Make your own

Ziplock bags aren't household items/that make isn't in the U.K....any more suggestions? Still could work but I'm looking for a well made baggie style one I could make my own but bet theres someone that makes quality ones.

Who cares about whether ziplocks are or aren't household objects? you can buy them in rymans and the bags are transparent! what more could you ask for? though I've just made a batch from those polybags...experiment with them, theyre cheap...

Make em using what ever looks ordinary in your country!

You can use this one that looks like an ordinary transparent bag. (you can acces this site in english and you have a video of the item too).

Hope it helps.

Or you use an ungaffed bag like explained on the SOMETHING DVD.

Really it can be examined or be left with the audeance.

For me the best bags are the Ziplock or transparent home made,why??Because they don't look like a magic prop,looks only like a regular bag...I Hope help you,
Thanks,
Hansel!

hands down the best there is...

I use Osterlind's Transparent Forces bag. Very good, and an excellent manuscript with it too! He used it on the DVD's No Camera Tricks.

I bought a large ziploc force bag from Jeff Busby that's great. Also, Jay Sankey markets a smaller (about 6 inches square)clear forcing bag (I think you get two).

Personal preference is a must. Everything in the show must be how I want it, not how ya'll see it should. Jim's idea is good, just not practical for the routine in mind.
If no one else can point me the direction to spend some cash...

Jim, where can I get this DVD?

UFB from Jason Paltergeist is good http://www.paltergeist.com/products.php

Yes, where can this be purchased?

In my forty-six years of magic, I have never reported anything negative about any change bag/force bag or it's manufacturer. However, this week I saw one that is hardly worth a try. It was a baseball cap. I do not know the brand or manufacturer. A friend apparently bought it as a catalog item. Frankly, I found no redeeming features. From me that is shocking! I can usually find a way to employ the most inadequate of props.

Surely, someday, someone will make a productive use of this concept. I look forward to that day. Even using both hands, this one screamed "Fake".

Again, I do not know the manufacturer. It had no documentation or DVD. The extra wide sweat band in this cap would not stay flat against the rim of the cap and it took two hands to operate. I do understand that there is one brand that does have a good review here on The Café.
