GRUM Bag by GRUM Handcrafted

Effect

The Grum Bag creates a clean vanish of a small object, such as a die. The performer places the object into the bag. After a moment, the bag is shown to be completely empty. The object has disappeared without a trace. The bag itself appears to be a normal, functional pouch, not a suspicious magic prop.

Full details
