You're not a self-respecting magician until you've got one of these...

HOW MUCH!? Do One!

"i could hit this with a baseball bat all day long"
Trust me, so could i! and i think I'D enjoy it more.

I like the idea that it's basically a laptop bag with lots of pockets, because it IS what every E-kid needs to be carrying mroe than anything, their laptop! It's got to be the only reason it's that big; apart from for carrying all your different E decks and their gimmick versions of course.

I'd have expected it to have at least some kind of gimmickery involved though, a hidden reel or 2, or a card for a reveal at least!

Ah well, I'm sure some people will like it. It does make Sankey's pouch look a lot better, if nothing else.

But guys, please bear in mind that the logo on the front is 'awesome' doesn't that make a huuuuuge difference?

You can just imagine the development process, designers huddled around the prototype bag and one bright spark asks, 'Why the logo' and the answer comes, 'Aw, some kid will think it's.....good.'

Words fail me.... it's just AWESOME! All I need is that and a CD of middle American corporate "rawk" music and I'm a COOL magician!

Near the end, it gave a direct link to Ellusionist where I could pick one up also. I tried to click on it, but it didn't work. Cn ne1 hlp plz?

I was in PC world this afternoon and noticed that they are jumping on the band wagon by selling a whole range of magic bags that are thinly disguised as la[tp[ holdalls. I mean, c'mon! Don't PC World have any guilt at using such a thinly veilled marketing ploy. I'm waiting for the first member of the IT department to claim to be a better programmer because he has a re-badged magicians bag.

I love how they have claimed that you can get some 3.5 inch diskettes (for those who remember what these were) ina pocket that has clearly been made for a pair of bike decks.

Also, was it just me or did the mini sharpies look like a key ring full of tampons?

I thought that I'd seen it all. I have a magician's holdall myself that I may make a video of. Two handles and a big pocket - has Tesco written down both sides but I think that you can also get Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrison ones too.

Wow I'm off to buy one right now

I attempted to order but it would not let me

The site requires orders for true Ellusionist Magicians only, which is 17 years old and below. Rats! I want it since it would be a repuation maker for me!

Apparently...

...It's "AWESOME" because "the zipper on the backside reveals an extra large compartment".

I dunno. That sounds more "quite convenient for carrying things" than "AWESOME".

But everything from E is "Awesome"... ask any 12 year old... especially the ones in their 30sand rediscovering magic.


I guess one could call me a "Bag Lady"... I've got dozens of them, each packed with their own particular set of odds & ends that I would use for whatever program I'm feeling like doing... I found that shoulder bags and butt packs were far more convenient than lugging around those huge boxes I used to deal with... but I've found myself collecting boxes again... neat little ones that can hold other neat little ditties that are "enchanted" those in the known would recognize this as Solomonitis in that it is a form of pack-ratism that got started in the Bizarre Magick world by Ed Solomon and the Shadow Network gang years ago.

Catch is, be it a box or a bag, I tend to get them at Surplus Shops or Garage Sales for penny's on the dollar... I have one leather shoulder bag that retails for over $500.00 that I picked up for a buck... so just look around, there's some cool stuff out there for next to nothing that far more interesting...
SPEAKING OF WHICH, the Magic Warehouse web site used to carry a really nice black or brown Doctor's Bag which is awesome for the street performer... for real! They are well made, deep and if I recall correctly, have the perfect little compartments for a couple of playing card decks, etc.

It's not as good as Sankey's Assassin Pouch as that it mega-awsome

Lord Freddie, classic comments on YouTube, you're a first class wind-up merchant!

I hate it when I buy these bags and they don't have buckles aswell as velcro. The two compliment each other really well.

That's my profession! I'm trying to follow Beadle's tradition. But with normal hands.
