So the first one is a type of Mammillaria I'm sure and the last one i think is a Echinopsis peruviana

#1 - Mammillaria (maybe melanocentra)
#3 - Euphorbia tirucalli or Rhipsalis baccifera - it's hard to tell from the picture. If it has white sap it's Euphorbia

I looked into it and I lean more towards the cereus forbesii (now I really what the spiral version of the species!)
