Anti Gravity Ring - Free Trick

Anti Gravity Ring by Ed Mishelle

Effect: A simple rubber band and finger ring are used. The rubber band is placed through the finger ring and magically the ring starts to climb up the band defying gravity. Everything can be inspected.



Method: You will need a finger ring and a rubber band. You may borrow the ring if desired. Break the rubber band. As you place the rubber band through the finger ring get some slack in your dominant hand. In this case I use my left.

You want a good 2 or 3 inches of slack pinched in your left hand. Your fingers will hide this slack. Stretch the other end of the band with the fingers of your free hand. Stretch the band so it looks actual size.



Tilt the rubber band at a sleight angle and start with the ring to the left. Simply release pressure on the band between your thumb and index fingers of your left hand. This will cause the band to sneak between your fingertips and move the ring over. The illusion created is that the ring is climbing up the band.



Practice setting up the trick quickly and when performing the effect try and allow the rubber band to slide slowly and smoothly. If the ring jumps around it will not be very deceiving.

Here is a cool trick you can try on your friends,

A hat or bag containing ten pennies is passed to the audience. The coins are examined to show that each one has a different date.

 

A member of the audience is asked to select a coin at random and pass it around for the other people to see as well as remember the date. The coin is then placed back in the hat with the others and the hat is then given to the magician. The coins can be shaken up in the hat to make it even more difficult to find.

 

The magician closes his eyes and reaches in the hat and removes one coin. It is found to be the chosen coin as the date is announced!

 

This trick doesn’t have to be done with just pennies; you could also use quarters. This is a superb mind reading feat that can really have a strong impact on your audience if presented properly.

 

This trick only requires ten pennies. Remember that each penny needs a different date! A hat or paper bag can be used to hold the coins.

 

The Secret

 

There is no secret setup and no forcing of any coin. They really have a free selection. The trick is really fairly simple but will take some guts to perform. As the coin is passed through the spectator’s hands, it becomes warmer than the rest. So, all you have to do when you stick your hand into the hat is find the coin that is the warm one.

 

This truly does work! Make sure when the one coin is selected that the audience does indeed pass the coin around to remember the date. This will help ensure that the chosen coin will have been handled enough to make it warm.

 

Sounds impossible? You have to try it! Remember that after you remove the coin to read the date out loud to everyone in the audience to confirm that is indeed the selected coin.

Dear Mr. Eddy Ray,

New Magic Invisible Thread Positively does work!
     It is very unfortunate I have noted you have received some negative feedback recently regarding your sale of Magic Invisible Thread. I wanted to re-address both our transaction and feedback for this reason.
     My son, 12 years of age was working on a project for Harry Houdini the famous magician and wanted to add a little spice to his presentation at school. 
     Your speedy delivery ensured it arrived in plenty of time.  I opened the package before he arrived home from school and saw it "appeared" to be a black elastic type thread wound over a playing card.  It also "appeared" to be very "visible".  
     My son very quickly caught on how to use the thread "invisibly" by removing fibers piece by piece in the lengths he wished to work with.  A great magician must have great patience.  Needless to say his school project has been a fabulous success.  I will be ordering more of this item in the near future with ensured confidence IT DOES REALLY WORK.  I was impressed!!!!
     Should any of your potential buyers wish to contact me regarding this item, please feel free to share my email address (sexysunfiremom@hotmail.com) as a reference to it's ability to create nothing less than magic.
Sincerely,
Colleen & Son
"In support of a genuine item & seller."
     

To Make ‘em Laugh… or think your nuts!
Welcome! 30 Crazy Antics was designed to be a resource of gags and stunts anyone can use in almost any situation. Your friends, family, and co-workers will think you’re crazy, and to me that is a good thing. If you want to scare, amuse, and make people nervous than this book is for you!
What is the point of living a life that isn’t exciting or amusing in some aspect? I bet at one time or another you might have already done some crazy things to your friends or perhaps even complete strangers. Even if you are not the kind of person to pull a stunt off, give it a chance and I think the results will be hilarious.
You might also find yourself using some of the gags if someone upsets you. The most important thing is to have fun, but don’t get yourself in trouble!
Just remember to be careful, and most of all have fun!
1. Carry a clown nose with you in your car at all times. When at a traffic light, put the nose on and look at others aside of you. They will do a double take.
2. Go into a Chinese restaurant and ask for a job application. Only works if you’re non-Chinese.
3. Conceal a ketchup packet in your fist. Pretend to hit your head on a door. You can kick your foot against the bottom of the door for sound. Next, squeeze the ketchup packet so it bursts into your hand and on your face. Scream in agony, then smile and walk away.
4. Conceal a relish packet in your fist. Fake sneezing, then grab a tissue and pretend to blow into it. To make the sound of blowing your nose, flutter your lips together to recreate the sound. As you do this squeeze the relish packet so it bursts into your hand. Finally sneeze onemore time, pull the tissues away from your face. “Snot” or relish will be on your hands and in the tissue. This looks cool and disgusting!
5. Go to a McDonald’s drive thru and ask the person taking your order where the nearest Burger King is located.
6. Fake tripping inside a mall or department store. Usually I go all out and fall completely on the floor. People will look worried and ask you if you are ok. Are you?
7. When a waitress asks you whether you would like the non-smoking, or smoking section hesitate, then say you would prefer the marijuana section.
8. Tell your friend that you never go to a tanning salon because you are allergic to cancer.
9. When ordering a Caesar salad, if the person asks you what kind of dressing you would like, laugh out loud and tell them it was a good joke.
10. Fake sneezing on strangers. Use a spray bottle filled with water to recreate the sneeze. To conceal this you can use a handkerchief, or have a friend a few steps behind you.
11. Order some food at McDonalds, and then drive to a Burger King. Take your food in with you, sit down and enjoy!
12. When paying with a credit card whisper to your friend that you were so excited when you found it lying in the middle of the store.
13. When leaving a tip, write a small note saying “Here is my tip, get the food here faster!”
14. When in a strip club, crumple up a dollar bill into a ball. Usually the stripper will show you where to throw it. Aim at the location but throw it at his/her forehead.
15. Take a marker and draw on your friends face. Use an old maker that is dried out. They will freak!
16. When eating peanuts, instead of shelling them you can eat the whole thing, shell and all. I prefer the salted kind for better taste. Don’t eat too many or you will be in the bathroom for a while the next morning! People will look at you in disgust as they tediously shell each and every peanut!
17. Wipe your mouth during a nice dinner with a paper napkin. On purpose break a piece of the napkin off and leaving it hanging on your lips. The saliva on your lips keeps the piece hanging there. Act as if you don’t know its there. See how your date acts!
18. Secretly empty a friend’s soda can that he/she was drinking. Fill it back up with milk, or my favorite, slim fast. Make sure to fill it at the same level it was before. Replace the can back where it was and wait for your friend to take a sip. Psychologically this is fun, the person drinking the soda will be startled and most likely drop the can and spit out the milk. Or even better they will throw up.
19. Pretend to be talking on the phone as a friend walks into the room. Make a conversation up over the phone about something ridiculous, making sure to keep a serious look on your face. For example you could say “That’s right, the order is for 2 full sized cows, mechanical milking machines, the uhh.. H-2500 model. Yes, thanks much.” Believe me, the more outrageous stuff you say will make your friend so confused!
20. While driving, close your right eye. Tell your friend that you can drive with your eyes closed. For a second your friend will be frightened! Be careful!
21. While grocery shopping, look for a cart that someone is using to shop with. Make sure they are busy looking for a product and are a few feet from their cart. Secretly throw in an item or two, such as condoms, tampons, etc. At the checkout line the person will not remember why they had those things in the cart. Use your imagination, use weird products.
22. Go into a local hardware store and purchase a washer or other small and really cheap item. Ask for a bag. Oh and it would be hilarious if you paid for it with a hundred dollar bill!
23. While on a date, perhaps during a nice conversation over dinner call your date by the wrong name. Act as thought it was a bad mistake, then later on do it again, and again. You might get slapped, but it is also pretty funny. Only do this on blind
dates when it isn’t going well, or with your girlfriend who will laugh and not get upset.
24. Call up a local McDonalds and make reservations for you and your date.
25. Call up a friend when you know he will not be home. When the answering machine beeps, leave this message. “Hello and thanks for calling the ________ family. We are busy right now, but leave your name and number and someone will get back to you soon. Bye!” Try using a different voice so they cannot recognize you. They will act confused when they receive the message. Make sure they don’t have caller id!
26. While eating potato chips in the break room at work, casually place one on your shoulder. Act all pissed off and tell your co-workers that you have a major chip on your shoulder. Slam the bag of chips down and walk away in disgust.
27. While shopping at a grocery store or department store, go to a closed cashier lane and get a candy bar. This is your reason for being in the cashier aisle. Look around to make sure no one is looking. Flip the light for the register on. Walk away and do some more shopping. Then pay for your candy bar at an open register. Watch at people get all pissed off waiting for a clerk to attend the supposedly open register lane!
28. When at a sporting event wear the opposing teams jersey or hat. Cheer for the opposing team. This will make people crazy, To make them really confused, cheer for both teams.
29. Go to a novelty store and purchase some fake parking tickets. Put on a strangers car, or ever your friends. These fake tickets look real and are really obnoxious.
30. Go into a restaurant and just order a glass of water. To be nice, order a soda. Do not order any food and see if they get upset.
