Bob Cassidy
THE HANUSSEN SWITCH BAG
$59.97
THE BLURB:
An elegant and versatile cloth bag for mentalists inspired
by the legendary Erik Jan Hanussen.
Master mentalist Bob Cassidy has designed an extraordinary
new utility device that you can use for a limitless amount
of effects. It looks like a common black napkin, the kind
you'd find in elegant restaurants. Each of the corners has
grommets in it so the corners can be gathered to make a
pouch and to hang on a display stand.
As the name implies, this is a switch bag. Specifically, it
was designed to use for billet work, Q&A routines, and other
mentalism effects, but there's no reason it can't also be
used to switch a variety of other objects.
The Hanussen Switch Bag was inspired by the legendary
mentalist, Erik Jan Hanussen, who was infamous for being
Hitler's clairvoyant. In one picture, Hanussen is seen
collecting slips of paper in a cloth napkin. Cassidy
devised a method to do the very routine Hanussen was
performing by creating this ingenious bag. This incredible
and professional routine is, of course, included in the
manuscript.
Also included is a routine called Matchmaker. Ten index
cards with words on them are displayed and torn in half.
The halves are placed in the bag. Two people reach into the
bag and remove one half. The halves are shown to match and
the rest of the pieces dumped out and handed out as
souvenirs, clearly proving that all the cards in the bag
were different.
The Hanussen Bag includes an updated version of Bob
Cassidy's classic manuscript from 2002, the bag, and a
handsome display stand to hang it on during performances.
The stand consists of a small wooden base and a metal rod
that can be removed. It all packs flat and can easily fit
into a briefcase.
