Any of you know any good magic tricks and illusions?

I just learned card levitation 2 days ago and it looks good.

I saw this Chinese Ring trick a few times in a version, where a single ring was falling down on a ring chain from ring to ring very slowly. That was incredible. I wonder if someone could explain me, how this works...?


The other trick I love very much is the one with the magic pompoms. I know how it works, but it amazes me every time I see it  :D
If it doesn't work - try something different!

Magic pompoms?

Care to elaborate? It sounds like an interesting illusion...
