I've been performing Bag 4 Life for a while now and begin with the coins already set up ready to go. Wondering if there is a way to display the coins independant of the Baggie then set-up in front of the spectators?

I imagine it could be done, why not? Displaying the coins prior to putting them in the bag is something I would minimize - the display once the coins are in should be plenty. Just do what you need under the cover of your hands as you casually place the coins inside the bag, so to speak, and talking casually to your spec(s).
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

I've given it plenty of thought, just can't imagine how to do it.

I've thought of basic ways to do it but not convinced it is worth the trouble.
May be a case of running without being chased.

Just start out with the coins "in" the bag. Why complicate it? Seems like over-proving to me.

But... here's a short clip of a guy doing "Bag 4 Life" in reverse. It starts at the 15:35 mark.

Anyone know anything about this?

Hey Robert... I just sent this message in another section that had a similar post. The guy doing this effect has a website and I tried to contact him through the email provided and never received a reply. Here's his website address below in case you'd like to try as well. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to discuss how it might be replicated... I have an idea about it and just need to take the time to set it up and try it.

Bought this effect in its UK £2 form and used it a lot - simple but very effective. Sadly after 10 years (the last 2 in storage) the gimmick is no longer m......sed and is useless. Any ideas for using in any other way? It seems a waste otherwise.

Try to rem******ze? It can be done when a larger stronger m***** is placed next the weaker. Heating and cooling is another option. Though, that usually does more damage than good.

Lastly, depending on how it is made, replacement of that component.
