The Trick

Step one Take out the unopened straw and show it to your audience.
Step two Remove the straw from its wrapper, and hold the two items side by side, one in each hand.
Step three Place the loose straw in the center of the napkin on the table, so that it lies next to the straw hidden underneath, and place the wrapper next to the loose straw.
Step four Make sure the three objects are lined up in this order: wrapper, visible straw, hidden straw.
Step five Use both hands to grab all three items, pinching the hidden straw through the napkin with your thumbs.
Step six With your thumbs pinching the hidden straw, fold the cloth over—away from you. Continue this rolling action (like rolling a croissant), until the napkin corner that was originally closest to you rolls over the farthest one. This move is called "The Gypsy Switch."
Step seven Pull the other corner out from under the rolled one. You have secretly flipped the entire napkin upside down.
Step eight Make a magic hand gesture over the napkin, for effect.
Step nine Use the fingers of both hands to pull the corners, unrolling the napkin. The prepared straw will be seen resting on the center of the napkin, and it will appear that the napkin has magically returned to its paper wrapper.
Step ten Slide the napkin, with the concealed loose straw and wrapper, in your lap. Try not to be obvious about it.
