Keep the bag in close to your body, and don't set too high! Instead of trying to go 'over' the bag with your foot, try going 'around' it with your knee. Your hip should lead the motion around the bag.(Playing time 77 secs.)

Like legovers, this move is easier if you get a little jump off of the dexing foot as your set. Like mirage, you want to keep the bag in close against your body.(Playing time 68 secs.)
