Oh my word how funny is this!! head over to Jay Sankeys site, where you can see him hawking an overpriced camera pouch! ......sorry "assasins pouch"! Whatever next magicians toilet paper?

How bad is my C.U.P.S when half of me is chuckling at how silly I'd look carrying a close up version of a bum bag (fanny pack for Americans) and the other half is saying to me "It's only about £12 it's a bargain".

I need help

BTW how much is close up bog roll and where can I get it?

"From casual to formal"????

Can you imagine that dangling about under your cummerbund while doing walk about at a dinner?

"An air of sophistication" "One of the ways you can use it is just - toss it in your case!"

It really is shameful. I don't know what he's thinking, or rather not thinking... a couple of his tricks have tended towards the "they'll buy anything" side of things (noteably the gemini pouch, although I have this as I got it less than half price, I might use it once or twice... ) and I just hate to see someone you know has some great magic creativity to be pursuing money so readily... I mean, he does alright, surely?! What with that consultancy deal and the sizeable catalogue of really good products, surely he doesn't need to stoop this low? And "Assassin's Pouch"?! I still can't quite believe it's serious... I mean, making a feature of the fact that if you put a magnet in the bottom (not included!) you can use it as hold-out... Great...

There are 3 even sadder things:
1) His backwards flatcap and "cool" t-shirt in the ad... obviously he's thought "this is a stretch, better make it appeal to a younger, hip crowd..."

2) The stuff he will inevitably say on the video... "I've been using my Assassins pouch for, ooh, aboot 5 years now, I never leave home without it" - really...

3) The fact that some folk will actually buy this

You know, I bet Criss Angel is looking at this and thinking "what have I just done?" Sankey, if you're reading this, we love you, we really do, but c o m e ___ o n !!!

Well said, I mean I do respect Sankeys creativity and his anytime anywhere and restaurants and bars DVDs are well worth the money, but this just smacks of "hmmmmm how can I pay for christmas this year!"

BTW I'm selling a genuine mentalists socket set if anyones interested LOL!

If he'd put his signature or his image on the bag and sold it as just a souvenir it would probably have been quite OK but to infer that it's an item of magic is pushing things a bit far!

2) The stuff he will inevitably say on the video... "I've been using my Assassins pouch for, ooh, aboot 5 years now, I never leave home without it" - really...

Lol......... not to forget "This is without a doubt the strongest utility device I use!"

I thought the TT storage pocket was pretty cool, myself.

This reminds me a bit of Joshua Jay's pro carrier case. Yes the fanny pack aspect of it makes it seem dopey - but I suppose it could be handy for some people.

I'm with Farlsborough though. He can say it all he wants, but I highly doubt he's worn this before or after that trailer video shoot.

I have a special pocket on the side of my trousers for that.

To be honest why would you need this? maybe to cary your items to a gig, but then you can't fit that much in it anyway.

as a confirmed training sporen wearer (leather bum bag wore round the front) i can say this is neither new, inovative or cheap as you can pick most bumbags up for around £4.99 in most markets.
and as for special attachments for accessories your standard bag has at least two anchore points and two side flaps for your tt.
plus plenty of positions for your sms or to vanish a coin etc.

if it had been a branded sakey bag then i'd consider it but its not even a nice colour, sorry mr sankey this ones going into my miss pile.

To me, it feels like Sankey has been releasing every piece of poop he can think of, just to remain in the limelight.
Come on, If you look at the last DVDs he released, that was rather bad. And then, that comes after his control freak incident with several UK suppliers...

I feel like Sankey lost the plot.

This thing is a bloody pouch with pockets on the side... shame...
And if you look at his jeans, he has a tiny pocket inside his right pocket... Why can't he put his TT in there????

If I were you, instead of buying this poop, wait 6 more month, Sankey might come up with a hand bag designed for magicians, with special eyeliner pocket for your Brad Christan routine...

Can't believe he's selling this! The way he tries to sell it by telling us of all it's "special features" sounds like he'd make a good QVC presenter.
If he can sell a glorified bum-bag, he'll have no problem with Diamonique rings.

One day I hope to be famous enough to sell a pair of Runners......

and market them as the most versatile street magic device yet....you won't leave home without them, I sure don't.....

anyone think this might fly!?
