I'm working on a version of Roy Benson's egg bag routine, in which several eggs are produced at the end. Has anyone tried this, and if so, how do you keep the eggs from talking as you load them?

(I'm using blown eggs, so the bag is not pulled down by weight.)

If you recall Benson's routine didn't use several "real" eggs. I have been doing the routine off and on since the late 50s/early 60s. At first I used the "Weller" eggs (rubber made well before latex became the standard for making collapsable items). The routine calls for (if I remember correctly) 5 rubber eggs (latex or foam) and one blown egg. There is no danger of them talking.

Thank you Harry!
I had rejected rubber eggs because at one point a spectator feels an egg. But one blown egg - voila.
