Charlie Miller’s Malini Egg Bag. Specially-sewn black cloth bag constructed to Miller’s specifications by Margy Riser, ca. 1958. Owned and used by Miller for his performance of the venerable effect in which an egg, placed in the bag, vanishes and reappears repeatedly, even when the bag is examined by, or is in the complete control of, an audience volunteer. Approximately 7 x 8”. Closely follows the pattern described in Harry Riser’s book Secrets of an Escamoteur (2006). Together with a hand-blown egg of Miller’s for use in the routine. The Egg Bag was perhaps the most famous item in Miller’s repertoire. He imparted some of the secrets behind his handling in a thin pamphlet published by Magic, Inc. Many of the fine points of the trick he learned from firsthand experience with Max Malini. Miller later imparted his knowledge of and handling for the Egg Bag to Johnny Thompson, who made the routine a true showpiece and one of his best-loved effects.
