Now, pull the rubber band tight so that it appears to others to be longer than it actually is. Obviously you will want to have onlookers watch this illusion from the right
vantage point (make sure they are facing you).
There will now be a considerable length of excess rubber band concealed within both of your fists. You will need to practice the technique of hiding it.
Tilt the rubber band at about a 45-degree angle so that the ring slides down against the thumb and first finger of your left hand. Ever-so-slightly release
some of your grip of the rubber band with that hand. This will take just a little bit of practice, but if you keep the angle right and release the rubber band
at a constant, slow rate, the ring will "stick" to the rubber band and travel upwards towards your right hand.
Friction force helps it to stay put and not slide back down. Keep your hands and fingers as still as possible! Continue to release your grip until you "run out"
of rubber band on that side. By that point, the ring should be at least halfway up to your right hand. To an unsuspecting observer from the other side, it will look
like the rubber band never moved but the ring magically defied gravity and traveled upwards. Repeat the same process with your right hand (tilting the rubber band
the opposite way). You are now The Lord of the Ring!
