You needn't get that academic. I'd say he can't cast the spell
on the bag because it's too dark in there for he to see it! :). However,
if enough light filters through the nylon that he can see the bag around
his head, he could cast the spell _on the bag_, and make it invisible.
Of course, then everyone else would know he did this, and could proceed
to beat the mage to a pulp.
