Re: Egg Bag
For those interested.....about 25-30 years ago I had a Jack Miller Style Egg Bag. I got it on a trade so I do not know who sold it; but I suspect Tannen.

Re: El Duco Mini Gold Cups or Riser Cups
What Pete says about "keeping prices down so that the younger guys can afford them" is a critical concept in magic. There was a time when I could not afford Danny Dew cups at $15 per set! Most of us were helped by more experienced performers when we were justing starting out. I feel that a...

Re: El Duco Mini Gold Cups or Riser Cups
Guys; Thanks for the kind words about my Riser Mini-Cups. I thought I'd give you some history on them. I originally designed the cups to produce a full sized baseball - meaning the cup would have a 3 1/8" inside diameter at the mouth. The cup was designed around the largest load possible for th...
