This 3 way force bag is just that. It is a clear shopping bag with a cut away handle hole at the top of the bag that is very effective and looks completely like a normal bag. I have always loved using this utility device for forcing billets and coins.
This specific bag measures 14 inches by 17 inches and is made of a durable clear plastic. This distinguishes this product from many other plastic forces bag that are made of a flimsy plastic. Also, the bottom of the bag is reinforced to prevent breakage, which is more likely if you are using many coins.
Additionally, this bag looks like a normal bag. Many other versions of the force bag look like bags that you have never seen before and therefore suspect. Also, I have previously owned a "Ziplock" force bag which looked fake because the colored lines at the top of the bag did not line up. No such issues present in this device.
The bag does look a bit distressed because it looks a bit dirty. In fact I tried to wipe off the dirt with a wet paper towel and I could not. I don't mind the distressed look because it makes it look like an ordinary old bag that was lying around.
It is very easy to switch from compartment to compartment and is very fooling.
The bag came with an instruction sheet, which is a small typed piece of paper (approximately 6 inches by 8 inches) but does not really go into any routines. I assume that anyone that is buying this bag already knows how to use it and already has routines to go with their purchase. the instruction suggest general ideas of things that can be forced, but no real step-by-step instructions are provided. For example, it tells you to place cards in a bag.
If you are dissatisfied with your current device or just want to try one out, I highly recommend this bag.

Three Way Force Bag Review
One bag, three sections, $18 bucks and one Three Way Force Bag Review. Is it gem or is it rubble? Stay tuned to find out.
Effect/Method
The effect? Well . . . it's not so much an effect as it is a method. A force bag is a utility prop that, generally speaking, is very popular amongst mentalists. It's an ordinary looking bag that allows you to control what section of the bag the spectator reaches into. But, from their perspective, there is only one compartment. It's just a regular bag that they can see through.
This bag has three compartments which means that you can force two different items. Take a moment to read the ad copy. It gives you an idea of what you can do with the bag. One compartment is the "proving" compartment. The other two are for the items to be forced. If you've watched the video review for this, then you'll know that this is the first time I made a review video before making a written review.
As you'll see in the video, my first attempt at handling the bag and accessing the compartments was super easy. The bag does its job perfectly and smoothly with no problem. Anyone at any skill level should be able to use this prop with little to no problem.
Ad Copy Integrity
The ad copy is simple and accurate. It merely describes the prop, and it does so with 100% accuracy.
Product Quality
The bag itself is very well made and looks (and handles) great. It's durable and will last a very long time. The only negative about product quality is the actual instructions. They were poorly written and vague at best. However, if you need a force bag, you already know what it is and how you'll use it, so the instructions are almost moot anyway. However, if you're going to provide some instructions, provide some meat too.
Final Thoughts
If you need a force bag, or a way to force a slip of paper (or anything suggested in the ad copy), then you'll be very happy with your purchase. Even though the instructions are poorly written, there still are some very good ideas (vague though they may be) that you will likely appreciate.
Three Way Force Bag Review Final Verdict:
4 Stars with a Stone Status of Gem.
