I am looking for information about the different ways that bags have been used in the history of magic.
I imagine that one of the earliest uses was the gibecière used by street magicians.

The GENII MagicPedia article on change bags says that "one of the first appearances of the change bag first in print (used as a method to force a number) is in Philosophical Amusements by anonymous."

Here's a link to an engraving of Isaac Fawkes producing a dozen or so eggs

Milbourne Christopher showed the same engraving on page 19 of _Panorama of Magic_ with the caption "Isaac Fawkes and his famous bag trick. From a bag he produced eggs and birds."

Who was the first to invent/market a pull-apart change bag?

Thanks for any comments.
