Banachek - Spit in a Bag

PDF

Effect: Two volunteers are asked to assist with an unusual experiment. One spectator is handed a brown paper bag (containing a prediction.) Multiple torn pieces of newspaper each containing different words and pictures are shown then dropped into a second bag. The performer shakes up the bag then asks the second spectator to spit into the paper sack. That’s right， SPIT into the bag. The volunteer obliges then the performer dumps the contents of the bag on the floor. That second spectator is asked to pick up the piece of newsprint that has some spittle on it and read the word covered in spit. One word can be made out that says， “SALE”. The first volunteer opens his bag and removes the one and only piece of paper there that says， “SALE”!
