Grum’s Bag by Grum

Created by: Grum

Grum’s Bag is a modern take on the classic egg bag routine, designed for close-up or parlour magic. The bag, which appears to be an ordinary drawstring prop bag, secretly allows magicians to perform color-changing or object-transformation effects (e.g., vanishing or producing small items like dice, eggs, or coins). Unlike traditional egg bags, this version is discreet and practical, blending seamlessly into a performer’s everyday props. It’s ideal for magicians who want a versatile, examinable prop for routines involving appearances, vanishes, or transformations.

Grum’s Bag is a modern take on the classic egg bag routine. The effect involves a small drawstring bag that appears ordinary at first glance. The magician can use it to produce, vanish, or transform small objects like dice, coins, or even eggs. Unlike traditional egg bags, Grum’s Bag is designed to look like a practical, everyday prop, making it more deceptive and versatile in performance.

It’s smaller than some traditional egg bags but large enough to handle standard-sized objects like dice or small balls. The bag is designed to be carried as part of a magician’s everyday props, blending in naturally rather than looking like a dedicated magic item.

Who Should Consider the Trick

Perform close-up or walk-around magic.
Want a more modern, subtle alternative to traditional egg bags.

Difficulty

Grum’s Bag is relatively easy to perform, especially for those familiar with basic sleight-of-hand principles used in egg bag routines. The mechanics are straightforward, making it accessible to beginners, but experienced performers can also incorporate it into more complex routines.
