Does anyone know when bill abbott will be releasing the brown paper bag egg bag? Any help would be great. Thanks

" Release date February 1, 2014. "

Sounds like a nice idea.

Sounds very nice and creative. I still would have to see if what I am picturing is how it will be.

Got an e-mail update about this the other day. Also curious about how this looks.

Looks pretty good, I think:

Thanks for the video link.

Just an observation, a little too much fiddling inside the bag...

Also seems larger than most paper bags I've seen.

It is an odd size bag.

Unconvincing, boring, dull... Every way worse than normal egg bag... Might be the first big MISS from Bill Abbott

Boy that really sucked. Did not turn the back inside out or tear it up. Paper looked just to thick to be a normal 10 or 16 bag. Been better if he used a plastic bag from the grocery store. LOL

The cloth egg bag is much better, any version on the market is better then this. I sure this will be hundreds of dollars, definitely not worth it.

Routine is not smooth as well, just a choppy mess.

Have to agree that was one of the more boring egg bag routines I've seen.

I think I'll just say "no". LOL

I kind of like the idea of a paper egg bag, but I'll be passing on this.

Completely different reaction from me. Normal size bag, no undu fiddling in the bag. Looked clean and convincing.

I believe he goes to FFFF and he also had a great illusion where he put a small cactus inside a balloon. Illusion looked great.

I'm with Magic Mike. I haven't performed the egg bag in at least 10 years, because it just screams 'magic prop' in my mind. Who carries an egg in a weird black cloth bag?! But a brown paper bag looks pretty every-day and makes much more sense. I love this idea.

Well it's to late. The video is down. Good thing. The video these folks saw is not representative of how good this trick is. As bad as they, who only saw the bad the bad telecast to use as a reference believe is the opposite of just how GOOD this trick is. News anchor folks are actors and it's very difficult to get them to respond in any kind of of a "real " reaction. So dull is not unusual from them. Chris is a most excellent magician, see the post above about the cactus in the balloon. He blew them away at Fechter's. That said here is a cold fact you can take to the bank. I CLOSE MY STAGE SHOW, that's right, I close my STAGE show with Chris Pillsworth Paper egg bag. I got it before any of you and this illusion ROCKS ! Before his trick I was closing with egg bag for ten years. Again, ten years and I now CLOSE MY SHOW WITH IT !!! There will be better video, ideas and back up material for this awesome effect. The design and method for this trick should only be used by those who are looking for an effect that can truly be built into a new version of what we all know is a classic.

Hey Bob,
Is the paper bag something he teaches you how to gimmick?
