This is based on the same principle as on Rising Wand #1 on page 1. But instead of using a bottle use your fist. Hold the wand in your fist as in Figure 1. Then lossen your grip and move your hand away from your body and back again. The wand will rise and lower. To cover the moving of your hand back and forth move your body at the same time and wave your other hand back and forth and around the wand like making a magic gesture.
Suspended Wand
The secret can be seen below. You cut a hole big enough for your thumb to reach through the tube and touch the inside wall of the tube. Never let the audience see this hole. When you show the tube empty make sure your palm covers the hole and don't let them stare in the tube for too long.

Rotating Wand Stunt
Holding the wand like the picture on the left (hands flat open facing toward the ground) you must bring it to look like the picture on the left without letting go of the wand. No one can help and you can't use any other objects to help either. Your fingers can't bend.
Once you learn this secret, challenge your freinds. Just don't show them the secret "move".
That move is seen in the picture below. After holding the wand like in the first picture above (without anyone seeing) cross your thumbs. Slowly slide your left hand over the right right hand making a kind of "X" with your hands; the wand will slowly turn or pivot between the thumb-crotches. Without stopping bring your hands to prayer position, the wand will automatically pivot into the final position like in the picture on the left above.
Rising Wand #2: Bare handed
Wand from Coin Purse
This is a great openning trick. You open up a coin purse, reach in and pull out your long wand. The wand is much longer than the purse is deep but somehow you get it out of that purse.
Cut a hole in a coin purse at the bottom. The coin purse should only be 2 or three inches wide and deep.
Have the wand up your left sleeve with the tip extending to your palm. It may help to have a rubber band hold it in place.
It's up to you if you start with the purse in your left hand with the wand already loaded into the purse. You can also (with practice) have it in your right hand then place it into your left hand, sliding the wand into the whole....to look natural please practice it a hundred times or more.
Open up the purse, reach in and pull out the wand. Watch your angles.
Wand from Card Box
This is the same as the trick above but instead of a coin purse use an empty card box. People will think you are about to do a card trick but will be surprised when you produce a wand.
Haunted Ring on Wand
Since this trick works the same ways as the two rising wands methods aready explained this might be a good trick to doo after those tricks. Place a ring on the wand and it mysteriously climbs up and lowers down on the wand at command.
Tape a piece of string onto one of the tips of the wand like in the rising wand. The other end of the string is tied to your shirt button, your belt, or anchored somewhere on your body. Place the finger ring on the wand like in the picture. As you move the wand back toward your body and forth away from your body the ring rises lowers and rises along the wand.
Wand through Hanky
This one will take practice! Practice in front of a mirror a lot! In one motion you stick a wand under a hanky that is draped on your left hand. You show it gloing under the hank from front and back. Then you bring it home by pushing it through the hanky and you pull it out. The hanky is shown and has no tear, hole, or rip.
This picture shows you placing the wand under the hank. Do it slowly as you show your audience the back side and the front side.
Here is the tricky move. If your hand were to move down and back up the audience would think you moved the wand outside the hanky so you can't do that. But if you continued moving upward it would hit the hank and not go through without ripping it. so while ontinuing the upward motion you flip the wand end for end bringing it to the outside of the hank.
Your left hand now grabs the wand through the hanky so when you push upward it seems like the hanky is resisting as you appear to push it through the hanky.
Here is what it looks like from the back.
Here is what it looks like from the front. Pull it out with your right hand from the top and then show the hanky.
Vanishing Wand
This is an oldie but a goodie and so easy! But it really fools people! You have an audience member stand next to you. You have them open their hand palm up. You bring the wand to their hand counting one two three. They are instructed to grab the wand on three. When you come down on the third time they grab but the wand is gone.
This picture shows you bring the wand down for the first count.
It is very inportant you bring the wand way back up by the side of your head on each upswing. You can do the counts (the wand touching their palm each time as you say the number....one.(touch) bring up....two (touch) bring up...this time (go to next picture)
Stick the wand behind your ear or in your collar, but don't change your pace or movement. Come down and say three, they will quickly close their hand. If you turn slightly so that the side of your body that has the wand blocks their view they will stay baffled for a while. Don't do the moves too slow or they may look up from their hand. 99% of the people stay staring at their own hand through the count. But if the upswing takes too long they will look up.
You take a toilet paper tube (you can decorate it with glitter and paint and stars and stuff) and you place your wand in it while holding the tube with the other hand. The wand falls to the floor. But then you pick up the wand, wave the wand around the tube and put it bak in. This time it doesn't fall. Part of it sticks out the bottm, part out the top...but it doesn't fall. You command it to fall and then it does.. You then show the tube empty.
The first time you put the wand in let it fall past your thumb and to the floor. Pick it up,and wave it around the tube. The next time you put it in let your thumb push it against the side of the tube. It looks like it's suspended (make sure some of the wand can be seen at the bottom and the top of the tube.)
Say your command, then let the wand loose and it will fall. Show the tube (rmemeber to take your thumb out and cover the hole with your palm.
