Best impromptu trick on Penguin! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 17th, 2006
I know I've already done a review for this trick, but it is one of, if not, THE best piece of impromptu magic on Penguin. Whereas I usually like to wow people with feats of difficult sleight of hand with cards, this trick is great if you dont have anything on you and if you want an easy trick. Here's some pros and cons:

Pros:
-EASY, EASY, EASY!!!!!
-Packs tiny, plays gigantic
-So simple, so deceptive
-Awesome reactions
-Great reputation maker
-100000% impromptu

Cons:
-Carpal-Tunnel Syndrome from typing all of the pros (yes I left some out)

A great effect Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 5th, 2010
I learned this trick years and years ago when I first started doing magic, and I still do it today. The best part about this trick is that there is nothing gimmicked. Just grab any two rubber bands lying around and you're ready to perform. It will take some practice to get it looking smooth but once you do, you'll be amazing people. Don't expect big screams with this one. What you'll normally get is people staring at it stunned.

Sick! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 15th, 2006
This is a great trick! You show them the rubber bands are solid and can't go through eachother, give a little rub, and WALLA!!! Of course, there is a little "something" you have to do. After watching the instructional video you may seem a weee bit confused with what's going on (I was), but just watch the video one or two more times carefully, and don't give your hopes up. It will all of a sudden become obvious and you will become obsessed...

If you want a fairly cheap trick, take this one. Impress your friends, family...
I DONT REGRET BUYING THIS FOR A SECOND!!!!

What A Pleasant Suprise!!! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 28th, 2005
WOW!!! All I can say is WOW!!! I work at a night club as a table hopper/croud surfer, and of all the technically advanced, slight filled tricks I do, this easy, simple trick gets some of the best reactions I've ever had. It's really mind boggling how you can throw their card through a freakin' window, and they just want to see the rubber band trick again. They love it, and they will SWEAR up and down that they FEALT it melt through. You really HAVE to get this trick. 20 minutes of prectice and you will have mastered it. Show it to everyone you know...and make it known that you are truely "born to perform."

Quantum Bandits Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 12th, 2015
I'm still trying to work out how to do it as somebody has said if he used different colour bands for the demonstration it would be easer to follow. Maybe I'm just a bit to slow as every body else seem to find it OK.
I'm sure when it clicks with me it will be great so will keep on trying.

Closeup classic Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 7th, 2010
This is said to be the greatest closeup trick of all time. Simple plotline, everyday props, it's extremely visual, and it resets instantly. You can't ask for anything more. This is type of trick that should be in every closeup magicians repetoire and is a must for anyone that performs strolling magic. Throw two rubberbands on your wrist and you will never be without unprepared to amaze.

This is what your spectator will say when you perform this effect. Extremely powerful. I have performed this for friends and family, strangers, and friends. This is a jaw dropping effect that is visual, requires no set-up, and can be performed over and over again... A classic effect..Stop reading this and get it.....

impromtu and powerful Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 4th, 2004
I have done this trick for so many people, so many times and it still hasn't lost any of it's brilliance. In fact it's probably one of the ones I use most just because it's so quick and easy and it never fails to leave people scratching their heads. For what it is it might seem expensive, but trust me you'll get your money's worth in reactions on this one.
