Hello all,

Anyone know of a chicken bag, or maybe even an invisible harness for a chicken?

These things are usually custom made. Magicians hardly use chickens and even parrot harnesses are not very common. Talk to Thomas Clark or Puck and they'd probably guide you in the right direction.

The chicken bag for a production is made to fit the
effect you are doing.

harness' would have to custom made due to size.

The Great De Yip Louie used a chicken for many years as did Ken Klosterman. I would stay away from Harness and do to a livestock bag.

Mike Caveney is the only guy I know still using a chicken on a regular basis nowdays.

Damian,

I use a chicken on a regular basis. Make a bag shaped like a dove bag that the chicken can fit in. Chicken are smart and strong so.

Big zipper.

I have been using a couple chickens in my show for the last 2 years and still use them today.

However I do not use a "bag" or harness. I also use baby chickens in the show.

It all depends on what you want to do with them and how they need to be produced.
some times you can use props made for rabbits or small dogs to produce them like a mini blammo.

Mike Caveney discribes his production bag in his book Magic Comedy along with his complete routine.

For livestock production bags, visit Abbott's Magic Co. at: http://www.abbottmagic.com they make the bags in small, medium, and large.
