"Alright everybody, so let me show you how to do the card in the bag trick. You need to get yourself a brown paper bag, just a standard bag, there's nothing tricky about it and you need your Svengali deck. Now, we have our card selected just like this and this is all kind of a bunch of red hair and stuff because I'm going to have the cards shuffled. I'm going to mix them up just like this. If you want you can have a spectator cut the deck, but no matter what happens, like we remember from before, there's always a duplicated of the selected card on top. So, we're going to take the deck, place it flat in the bottom of the bag, so it's just laying flat like this right in the bottom of the paper bag. All I'm going to do is reach in and grab the top part card and pull it out and show it to you. But to add a little bit of sort of presentational stuff to it, I'm going to cover my eyes and reach in and look like I'm reading the cards with my fingertips. So I can go that's the 4 of spades, that's the 6 of hearts, that one's the kind of diamonds, oh, oh wait I got it right here, I got it and you pull it out. You can pull it out with the back toward them and then you can show them that's their selected card, the queen of clubs. In just a minute I'll show you some more variations on the card in the back."
