“Egg Bag brought into the 21st century!”

– Obie O’Brien

“This is the only Egg Bag I will ever use.”– Bill Abbott

“Relevant and elegant. Love It”– Jason Brumbalow

“This is now my closer.”– Bob Sheets

“With a degree in industrial design, Ottawa-based pro Chris Pilsworth has created a complete REVOLUTION of the classic egg bag method, using a natural and innocent-looking prop – a simple paper bag. This is the ONLY egg bag I will ever use.”– Bill Abbott

Traditional Egg Bag Problem

Consider this: when an audience witnesses an egg bag routine with a traditional cloth bag, what assumptions do they make?

1. You are a genuine magician.
2. You possess remarkable skills, but are still human.
3. The unusual cloth bag seems fake, leading them to believe anyone could perform the trick with a similar bag.

Although executing a great egg bag routine requires skill and practice, the perception of using a magic cloth bag diminishes your impact.

Chris Pilsworth’s Solution

Chris encountered these challenges when he sought to incorporate an egg bag routine into his performances. He pondered, “What if I could present an egg bag routine using a regular brown paper bag?” This approach flies under the audience’s radar, allowing you to take full credit for the magic, rather than relying on an unusual cloth bag.

Traditional Egg Bags vs. PB&E

Many magicians wear dark outfits, making the classic black Malini Egg Bag blend in and become nearly invisible from a distance. In contrast, PB&E stands out regardless of whether you’re in a dark or light outfit. The paper bag’s visibility ensures it can be seen clearly from afar, whether in a home setting, a 200-seat hall, or a 2000-seat theater.

PB&E Features:

• Self-Contained
• Angle-Proof
• No Reset – Always Ready to Go
• Minimal Sleight of Hand Required
• Packs Small, Plays Big
• Can Be Performed Up Close & Surrounded
• Highly Visible for Stand-Up & Stage Performances
• No Clothing Restrictions

Method & Design Features

Chris Pilsworth has leveraged his industrial design expertise to create this remarkable prop. The trend is shifting towards more organic props, enhancing audience appreciation for the performer’s skill rather than the ‘magic’ prop itself. With a brown paper lunch bag and an egg, the props are familiar, eliminating the need for over-proving or unnatural actions.

BONUS:

Unlike traditional cloth egg bags, PB&E allows for an audible appearance of the egg inside the bag!
