SleightfulMagic Review - At the Circus Gag Bag by Lee Alex
David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a thorough review of Lee Alex’s “At the Circus Gag Bag,” a prop specifically designed for children's magic. He enthusiastically recommends it as a worthwhile investment for magicians who frequently perform for young audiences, highlighting its durability and potential for repeated use. The trick itself involves a brightly colored bag that transforms to reveal various circus characters, culminating in a playful clown disappearance and reappearance. David emphasizes that while the prop is well-constructed and visually appealing, the real magic lies in the performer's ability to act and engage the audience with a playful and hammy presentation. He notes the bag is double-sided, allowing for seamless reveals, and that the clown cutout attaches with 3M double-stick tape for flexible placement. Priced at $75, the prop offers a customizable routine that can easily fill five to seven minutes of performance time. David concludes by promoting Magic Orthodoxy's membership, boasting over 600 videos, weekly reviews, and a variety of other magical content.
