The Utility Change Bag is a different concept in Change Bags.  It does everything an ordinary Change Bag can do – it produces, vanishes, or exchanges Silks, Ropes, Ribbons, Paper, and similar items.

The Utility Change Bag looks like a woman’s hand bag. It has a zip opening on the side of the bag.  Open the zip and place a white silk inside.  Close the zip, make your magic pass, then open the zip and hand over the bag to a spectator. The spectator can remove the silk from the bag, which could now be red.  There is no flap and nothing for the spectator to find.

The Utility Change Bag is a logical prop to carry Silks or Ribbons or Rope in, and perform your effect using the same “carry bag."  It is not suitable for performing with hard or bulky items like eggs, playing card decks, or baby chickens, for which purpose a standard Change Bag with a handle is more suitable. The Utility Change Bag is an excellent prop for magicians wanting to perform a Blendo, or vanish or produce a few Silks, or perform a Cut and Restored Ribbon or Linking Ribbon Ring Routine, in an environment where the audience can freely handle the bag.

It is especially appropriate for use with silks. However, it can be used equally effectively with any soft items like ribbons, ropes, paper slips, sponge balls, etc.
