ARMCHAIR STORIES - GOLDIN'S EGG BAG - Pt 2

Horace Goldin, was considered one of the greatest illusionists in the the 'golden age of magic'. Incredible illusions, such as the Buzz Sawing a Woman in Half. Yet after most shows, it seems that the one effect that hit the most, that caused more talk, was his EGG BAG ROUTINE.
Goldin learned the routine directly from Albini, same as DeBiere. BUT from all accounts the way he performed it was way different to DeBiere.

There are twists along the way here, so be sure to listen to the end of both parts... and with that... here's Part 2.

John’s routine is minimalism at it’s best. I love his approach...
