Easy Magic Tricks: The Rising Ring

By Wayne Kawamoto, About.com Guide

3 of 3

To perform the trick, pull the band taut and rotate it at a slight incline, making sure that the ring is resting on the lower part of the band. Pull the band taut and slowly release the extra band that’s in your left hand. The rubberband will creep out and carry the ring with it, making it look as if the ring is rising. In reality, it’s the band that’s slowly moving.

This one will take some practice. Also, be sure to stand far away enough from spectators so they don't see the rubberband slowly moving. You want them to focus on the ring.
