Paul Daniels doing the egg bag - very much influenced by Charlie Miller and Ken Brooke. Along with a little Valentine analysis.
This was a long time coming as the footage was hard to locate. Great stuff here to learn and admire... Daniels was a master magician, often not appreciated for his skill because he was such a funny performer. But Paul was a dedicated magician, someone I got to know in the last few years of his life, and an absolute influence from my childhood.
To see him at the height of his powers there's a video - he doesn't do the egg bag - but watch the 1978 Royal Variety performance on YouTube and watch his set, he kills it. https://youtu.be/JxLHplhIn60
There are lessons here in Paul's egg bag, lessons of all kinds, and if you're ever planning to do an egg bag routine, please watch this analysis and performance.
see you on the inside.
