Just ordered this bag from Hammacher and Schlemmer for my close-up stuff. Had one similar but not as nice for about 4 years now but the zipper broke. Its a nice feature that it can be hung on the back of a chair or on the wall giving you access to every compartment. Works great on the coat hook on the stall door in the bathroom. Allowing you to load up your pockets in private. I'll give a full review when I get it. 12Wx8Hx5D

Also liked these at L.L. Bean

WoW they look very useful, especially with that many compartments and being able to hang it behind the chair or table.

May I know which site sells them?

Hammacher Schlemmer

Thanks, kammagic

Now that's a great suggestion. I've never thought of using those type bags (toiletry kit bags) for magic. Small, durable, inexpensive, packs flat and can hang.

Thanks!

Mark.

I use a fishing tackle box...

Are you the fishing Magician?

We at least know that he is hooked!

I use a black model of this: http://everestbags.com/item--Everest-Med......009.html. My grab-a-bubble lives in the cellphone pouch.

No I don't do much fishing..but it works for me.. I take it to where every I go, put my things in my pokets and walk around, once I have seen most the people and they are asking for more I go to the back room and dump and reload..

I know I will get blasted for this because most people posting on this forum seems to hate Ellusionist BUT... I have their close-up messenger style bag and love it. It is comfortable and has LOTS of storage, From their site.
