EDC (Everyday Object Vanish) by SaturnMagicShop

Effect

The EDC (Everyday Object Vanish) is a deceptive close-up magic trick where a small, everyday object (like a die) visibly vanishes from a seemingly ordinary bag. The audience sees the object placed inside the bag, but when they check, it has completely disappeared. The magician can then reveal the object in an unexpected location, such as their pocket, creating a moment of surprise.

Full Details

The Grum Bag is a key prop for performing the EDC vanish. Unlike traditional magic bags, it looks like a normal carry pouch, making it more deceptive. The bag is made from velvet and silk, giving it a premium feel while also functioning as a practical prop holder. A complimentary die is included, but the bag can be used with other small objects like coins, candies, or small toys.

The vanish relies on misdirection and timing. The magician subtly removes the object while the audience’s attention is directed elsewhere, then shows the bag empty to reinforce the illusion. The Grum Bag tag serves as a subtle distraction point during the performance.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This trick is ideal for:

• Close-up magicians who perform at tables or walk-around events.
• Performers who want a versatile prop that doubles as a carry pouch.
• Magicians looking for a deceptive vanish that doesn’t rely on complex sleight of hand.
• Those who prefer props that blend naturally into their performance without looking suspicious.

Difficulty

The EDC vanish is beginner-friendly. The method is straightforward, relying more on presentation and timing than advanced sleight of hand. However, smooth execution requires practice in misdirection and audience management. The Grum Bag makes the vanish easier by providing a natural-looking prop that doesn’t raise suspicion.

What Magicians Say

SaturnMagicShop highlights the Grum Bag’s versatility, stating:
"The problem with an egg bag that I always found was it was just a square bag... it doesn’t mean anything to anybody. This actually is a usable bag that you can use at all your gigs."

They also emphasize its practicality:
"It doubles as a carry bag for your props and a vanish bag, but it also makes the perfect close-up mat too."

The performance tips focus on natural handling:
"You can see the dice, you can even feel the dice... but what you don’t see is when you’re not looking, I take the dice and put it in my pocket."

Overall, the Grum Bag is praised for its deceptive simplicity and everyday usability, making the EDC vanish an accessible and effective trick for performers.
