1. Your ring? - A ring is borrowed, a rubber band is held on the fingertips of the right hand and put through the middle of the ring. A second rubber band is laid with the left hand behind the other rubber band. The viewer holds the ring while the tapes immediately penetrate the ring and the ribbon and the spectator holds the ring while the rubber bands are still on the fingertips of their hands.

2. Rubber Band Through Thumb (Elli's version) - usually executed in a quick movement, but this version is more visual and powerful by the penetration in slow motion and the viewer holds the rubber band. A fun little miracle.

3. rubber band by ring (Ellis version) - visual and powerful by performing the penetration with the viewer who holds the ring. A fun little miracle.

4. Say disappear! - Four cards are selected (optionally with a signature) and then mixed under the deck. Of a previous effect, there are already 4 aces on the table, which you cancel and put in an empty card box that a spectator should hold. A rubber band is wrapped twice around the deck and when the viewer says "disappear", the rubber band disappears and the deck and the hands are shown from the front and back. The rubber band is gone! At a moment the rubber band reappears and captures 4 cards. Instead of the selected cards, the 4 aces were captured and the box in the viewer's hand contains the cards selected by the viewer!
