Servantes (magic)

Servantes are props used by magicians. They've been common objects ever since the very first magicians and many still can't do without. The earliest form is a simple open bag or pouch, often with a ring to keep it open, hanging from the magician's belt. Currently the most used form is a bag or small platform hanging out of sight behind the magician's table. Some magicians prefer to keep it a concealed, secret object, others use it in plain sight to store cards, cups, balls and so on. In the right hands it's still a very powerful tool of deception.
