EDIT:  My daughter almost sent her little brother to the ER by hitting him in the eye with a cup. Her reasoning, he was kicking me off the couch. So before you Dislike this video, keep in mind that nearly-blinding your brother has to be disciplined. Believing your magical elves have left for a day is a fair punishment. Onward....

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:  If you've got 5 minutes and Adobe Premiere, learn how to make those elves fade away Marty Mcfly style.

This really does take less than 5 minutes. Shoot some video on your iPhone or other device. Try to keep the camera totally still (which I didn't) The beginning of the clip should film the elf or elves in place. Then while still filming, try to remove them from the scene without moving the camera much. Two people could pull this off easily. Now get that video onto your computer with Adobe Premiere, and watch the video.

And I *SUPPOSE* you could follow the same steps to reverse the effect and make the elves fade in so your children are convinced they are magically appearing places, but its a lot more fun to reverse these camera tricks for when they act up.
