What is the Magic Bag?
... ... |
The magic bag is a simple paper folding. It has the shape
of a bag, which was used in grocer's shops for sugar, semolina, sweets
etc in former times.
It´s speciality is that it has two pockets. You
can amaze small children. You put a sheet of paper (e.g. a stamp) in the
first pocket. After saying Hokuspokus or Simsalabim it vanishes, if you
show the second pocket. |

Look into the triangle. Inside between two double layers
you see two sheets cut on the left and right. Here they are coloured grey
and green. Push the front paper behind the the grey paper in direction
of the arrow.

In other words: The grey and the green paper must change
their order.
