The Effect
An egg is placed inside a bag which has a see through front, and vanishes! Just as suddenly, the egg reappears again inside the bag! The performer removes the egg from the bag and places it into his pocket, but again the egg jumps inside the bag!

Review
Being a student and follower of the Tarbell course, I am inclined to seek out those good old fashioned magic effects from yesteryear out of curiosity and because they are tried and tested.
I had never bothered with an egg bag before, but having read about them many years ago, and being a fan of the great Tommy Cooper, I thought for the meagre price World Magic Shop were selling them for it would be worth having one as it looked like fun to play around with, would be good for kids shows and could be fitted into my cabaret routine as a comedy effect.
The bag itself is of a good quality and comes with instructions for two simple routines. It really does look like a good quality professional prop for just a small price.
It comes with a sheet of instructions containing two simple routines which are great fun and the bag itself is very easy to use and can be turned inside out and openly displayed before an egg visually appears inside.
What can I say? It's well made and does the job it supposed to and costs next to nothing. If you want to invest in an egg bag this is a good buy and you'll spend a good time in front of the mirror watching the egg appear and disappear with a "pleased-with-yourself" look on your face!
Overall
Good quality, great price 8/10
