One of the things that I think is interesting is how different magicians keep their props in their prop cases. I’m not referring to how they are in the case when set for the show, but for traveling in between shows.
Years ago, I heard about how Billy McComb had a different Ziploc bag for each routine.
A Better System for Storing Magic Tricks
I’ve used Ziploc bags, but recently found these hard sided cases. I think they’re sold as make up cases.
I bought them as a prop for a routine idea that I have, but realized the other day that they’d be perfect for travelling with props. They’ll protect the props a little bit, but I can see into them, so I know exactly what’s in each case.
I just did my first week with these, and I’m really liking them. The next thing will be to make a list of what goes into each box and write it on the box.
Here’s another example prop management from a vintage magic box that I found!
I’m a big fan of these cases and they’re cheap!
