I was very skeptical when I saw this effect performed by Lee Smith on his recent DVD with Gary Jones entitled The Unknown. I had great success with effects from their previous DVD, so I decided to take a leap of faith with Bag 4 Life. I performed it a dozen time today and I still can not believe the reactions. People loved it, I guess sometimes you never know.

It is a wonderful trick.

I do not care for this trick. I still have Laymen's eyes and it seems the plastic bag must just have a slit in it or something, even if it doesn't. But I've only seen it on video. It might be better in real life.

I think it's a very good trick. You hand the bag to the spectator after pulling the coin from the bag, so that eliminates the slit in the bag idea.
Also, I use the ten pence coin which has a duller finish than the half dollar. When displayed, it can be burned pretty closely and it still looks like it's in the bag. |

It's a very interesting idea. I picked up the DVD, but still need to get a coin.

I have been using Johnny Wong's Perfect Power of Three coin and it has been great. He has many coins that will do the job, so check what you already own, the solution may well be at hand.

This effect is killer...I couldn't believe the reactions until I did it several more times...it's very deceptive and the illusion is perfect!

Trooper, I'll take your word for it. Curious to know what other effects / routines you prefer.

I think this is a great trick. The illusion is perfect. I've had people look at this from less than two feet away and they didn't notice anything.

This is a great example of where you give the mind some information and it fills in the rest. The subtleties discussed on The Unknown DVD are great. This is so surprising to me how well this works. It has found a home in my first tier of effects.

Hello,
I too am finding great success with this effect, and as whiteoakcanyon has stated, it's a perfect example of the mind filling in the blanks. Jim. |
