ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides the illusion that an elastic apparatus is hooked from within a base unit, wherein actually hooking the elastic apparatus is virtually impossible. An opposite end of a rod is inserted at least partway into a hole of a base unit using the handle end of the rod. The base unit gives the appearance that the elastic device is attached to and extending within the hole thereof. The inserted opposite end of the rod is then pulled partially out of the base unit. But before the opposite end of the rod is exposed in viewable sight, two of a user's fingers are pressed together on substantially opposing sides of the handle end in order to forcibly snap the rod back into the base unit giving the illusion that the rod slipped from the user's fingers due to an opposing force from the elastic apparatus.
