Wow! Thank all for the kind words. You slipped this thread past me. (You must be magicians!)

For the effect to play to a real audience, I think the most important moment is when they see you genuinely pull the silk from a hole in the side of the egg. And I would always want to include the display of pulling the silk half way out then releasing the egg and letting it hang from the silk, so everyone has a really clear image of what's happening. When people see an egg, the default assumption is that it's a real egg, so in order to convince people that it's a hollow egg with a hole in the side, you need to show them really clearly that that's the case. Both the Fox and Bloom methods eliminate the fake egg, but the price they pay is too high: they have to create the illusion of pulling the silk from a hole in the egg rather than really doing it. The trouble is that, for a faked action to be convincing, the audience have to be familiar with the real action that it's supposed to look like. These versions seem clever to magicians who know the plot very well, and who already expect the silk to be coming from a hole in the side of the egg - but lay people don't have that frame of reference. I don't think it provides enough conviction for audience members who aren't already expecting the silk to be inside the egg and have never seen anyone pull a handkerchief from an egg before. |

Bob Sanders eggs are the best! I like to make my own "silk hole" by taking an old silk and cutting it up to resemble a hole with some double stick tape on the back. It looks more like a real silk inside of an egg than a plain paper spot.

Bob Sanders eggs are great, I have the brown & white sets. Also the quality of the silks are superb.
I'm just curious has anyone ever tried Tenyo's silk to egg? A friend recently showed me one, and it's the most realistic plastic egg I've ever seen. It's a bit small, but I don't have big hands, so it works perfectly for me. Quote:

Bob Sanders' eggs are so realistic that I was going a show once and was interrupted when I was loading my pockets before the show and got the eggs mixed up and put a fake in my pocket instead of a real egg. I was going to peel the sticker off the real egg and break it into a glass at the end. Well, instead of a real egg, the sticker was on the fake egg. I pulled the sticker off, was trying to break that egg into a glass 3 or 4 times before I realized what I had done. Shocked, the only thing I could do was say, hhmmm....this one must be hard-boiled, and tossed it to a spectator. Bob's eggs ARE great! Highly recommended!
Magically yours,

Yes, Tom Stone routine is great !
Actually it's the same routine as Cody Fisher (Steve Dacri concept with spectator breaking his own egg), but with a different technique. |

Thanks again for the kind words about the DoveLite props.
However, I can't help but wonder how many of you are using my Egg Dropper with the eggs. http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......um=54&53 I know that the Cup & Ball and Billiard Ball (especially for Fakini balls) magicians use them. Bob |

I just had a discussion with Donnie at RNT2 about that, Bob. Seems those bags have all kinds of incredible uses!

Try them under a vest and you are in for some surprises. Bob |

O.K. I have now used Bob's eggs in my shows for the past several weeks...and I have to say that I agree with the general opinion on this tread...they are absolutely wonderful! I had been a long time fan of the Viking egg (which is VERY good) however I now prefer Bob's egg. Anyone doing my version of "Silk2Egg" would be wise to get in contact with Bob...
I hope this helps... Cody S. Fisher

I will do that Cody. I've been using the Viking eggs with your routine, and I'm going to have to switch up now!

You do know that we also have the prop sets that match Cody Fisher's Silk2Egg trick?
You can get white or brown eggs and the standard 18" or 21" silks. Bob |

So, hey, what makes Bob's eggs so worthy of worship? Is he loading them with cocaine or what?
Seriously, I'm curious about why they're considered so much better than other makes. |

They aren't plastic. They're some kind of ceramic. They look and feel like real eggs.

The good news is that we are restocking it!
The manufacturer tells me he plans to retire in 2013. |
