Ring Of Deception

Effect: A bangle passes on to a length of rope tied securely to your wrists.
Secret: You need two identical bangles and a long piece of soft rope.
Secretly put one of the bangles on your arm, hidden under your coat sleeves. Have two spectators tie each
end of the rope around your wrists. Show the bangle to ensure that it is solid. Turn your back, quickly pull
the secret bangle down your sleeve on to the rope and hide the bangle just shown in an inside pocket.
Turn back to face the audience and show the bangle tied on the rope.

The Removable Thumb

Effect: You appear to remove your thumb!
Secret: Practise this in front of a mirror. Hold out your left hand with the palm facing you. Bend your left thumb in half towards your body. Bend your right thumb in half and place it alongside the left (see figure 1). Place your right forefinger over the front of the two thumbs where they touch (see figure 2). Move your right hand to the right and it looks as if you have removed your thumb (see figure 3). This trick should be done only to people who are directly facing you.

Palm The Wand

Effect: To prove that you have magical powers, place the wand or pencil across the top of the palm of one hand, with the back of the hand towards the audience. Slowly open your fingers and the wand apparently sticks to the hand as if magnetised (see figure 1).
Secret: Grip your wrist with your other hand (see figure 2). Unbeknown to your audience, your right index finger is holding the wand. Don't ever let the audience see the way you hold the wand
