Orrin’s ‘Uplift’

There is a removeable plug in the top of the red block. The magician removes this and places inside a small object, such as a ring, which a spectator provides. The blocks are stacked up with the red one on the bottom. The stack is then covered with the blue tube. The first surprise is that, when the tube is removed, the red block has climbed to the middle. The magician highlights this by showing all blocks separately. The blocks are reassembled, still with the red block in the centre, and the blue tube placed over the stack. When the tube is lifted the red block is now seen to be at the top. The plug at the top of the block is removed and the borrowed object shown, so proving that the block is the same one that started at the bottom of the stack. Complete with instructions.
