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)

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.

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!!!!
ADD TO CART!

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."

This is a great version of the crazy mans handcuffs. The teaching was well done and easy to learn.
Highly recommend.

Glad that I got this. The effect is awesome, requires practice for a smooth performance. Well worth
the money.

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.

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.....

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.
