I own several force bags and use this one the most. It's also by far the least expensive of the lot.
Its ordinary look is what makes it so deceptive.
One suggestion is to buy two and remove
the gimmick from one. Since most of my props are ungimmicked, I deliberately leave them out after
shows when I'm talking to people. By the time the show is over, I have switched the bags and the
ungimmicked version is sitting out in plain sight for all to inspect. Though most of the time,
nobody even asks. It just gives me more confidence to be clean at that point.

For our show we use actors hidden in the audience and this bag makes audience selection look
completely natural!! Without this bag the show would have looked totally suspicious. It has been my
most priced item even though it's dirt cheap. Even though we've spent hundreds in magic materials
for the show, this bag it's worth the most. TOTAL SHOW SAVER

For those familiar with this type of prop you know its not hard to make your own, just time
consuming. For the price I went ahead and ordered one. Its a solid prop and the ability to force
upto 3 objects is very nice. I used it last week in my stand up performance with great success.

This isn't a trick; nor is it a set of instructions that teach you 100 different variations on the
same thing. This is something for workers; a clear force bag. Without going into method, you can
have hundreds of cards, coins, dice... ANYTHING in plain sight and have a spectator take THE one YOU
want them too... INCREDIBLY fairly.
This bag is a VERY, VERY versatile prop; there are
HUNDREDS of effects possible, and the amount of creative potential this has is UNLIMITED. In all
seriousness, you are more likely to come up with an original effect if you have one of these than
you would be with ANY other prop in magic (or I think so, anyway).
HIGHLY recommended.

If you do any mentalism work, this is a prop that you really need to have. Given the low price of
this one, it's as good a choice as any. It's sturdy enough to hold up for a while, so you'll
definitely get your money's worth.
What you won't get are any creative suggestions for what
to do with it. Personally, I wouldn't use it for selecting a playing card as shown in the demo,
because that's just a really odd way to get someone to select a card, and it automatically makes
your bag look suspicious. Instead, use it for something in which it makes sense to use a bag for
holding and mixing up a bunch of items. Refer to anything by Osterlind if you want to see some
excellent effects using a force bag.

This is a great device for walk around magicians. People are always blown away by the visual
effects. This is nice because they can see the items in the bag before they make their choice. The
overall quality is not top-notch. You will need to replace this after a few uses.
Create astonishing effects with this clear bag. Go anywhere, perform and leave a great magician in
the eyes of everyone. If you like cards and want to create a variety in your show this is for you.
BUy NOW!
When I first bought this item, I wasn't expecting much quality because of the low price. But
luckily, I was pleasantly surprised! I have bought numerous force bags over the years (with most of
them being more expensive than this one), but I can honestly say that this force bag is the best one
that I have purchased thus far. The quality is superior despite its low price. And what's great
about this force bag is that it works as a three-way force bag. Because of this, there are so many
more possible routines you can use with this. I highly recommend this product!
I use this for my show closer. With my presentation it blows my audience away! You have to be
creative but that is just the kind of magic/mind-reading I like. Not examinable but in a show it's
not an issue. No one has ever questioned it... it's clear. Thumbs Up!!!
