Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
450
The
Japanese
egg-bag
is
about
eight
inches
in
depth
and
six
in
breadth,
and
made
of
alpaca,
tammy,
or
some
similar
opaque
material.
Its
only
peculiarity
is
that
one
of
its
sides
is
double,
the
stuff
being
folded
down
inwards
from
the
mouth
of
the
bag
to
about
two-thirds
of
its
depth,
and
stitched
at
the
sides,
but
left
open
at
its
lower
edge.
The
effect
of
this
arrangement
is
to
make
a
sort
of
pocket,
mouth
downwards,
inside
the
bag.
If
any
small
article,
such
as
an
egg,
be
placed
within
the
bag,
and
the
bag
be
turned
upside
down,
the
article
will
not
fall
out,
but
will
fall
into
the
pocket,
which,
in
the
reversed
position
of
the
bag,
will
be
mouth
upwards.
This
will
enable
you
to
conceal
the
presence
of
any
article
in
the
bag,
as
you
may
turn
it
upside
down,
and
even
inside
out,
without
any
fear
of
the
article
falling;
and
so
long
as
you
take
care
to
keep
the
“pocket”
side
of
the
bag
towards
yourself,
the
spectators
have
not
the
least
reason
for
suspecting
that
the
bag
is
otherwise
than
empty.
The
uses
to
which
this
little
bag
may
be
put
are
various.
Amongst
others,
it
is
available
either
to
produce
or
cause
the
disappearance
of
an
egg,
and
may
thus,
in
combination
with
other
apparatus,
be
made
useful
for
many
tricks.
We
shall
content
ourselves
with
describing
one
only
of
the
modes
of
using
it.
