To be honest, I'm quite disappointed in Dyno. First, the promo video never mentioned you would need
special rubber bands for it to work, only in the download. I'm not used to sneaky surprises from
Penguin: but okay, I ordered the rubber bands. After a few days of practice, it's a nice little
eye popper when it works, but that's only 40% to 50% of the time. The instructional video is sorely
lacking about what adjustments to make for it to work consistently. I've tried everything I can
think of, but with not much success. Definitely not something I would want to try in a performance.

Interesting new method. Only really interested in adding the final phase to my work.
I've not
managed to get this reliable enough to add to my repertoire but will keep trying.
Teaching felt
a bit rushed and had comments like 'you just have to find the right feel'. Not overly thought out or
helpful.
Used Joe's bands. They snapped frequently when trying to learn the final phase.

I will preface this review with this, Joe is my best friend. Joe's first book way back Elestricks
was wonderful. I took the photos for the illustrations in that book. I thought after that I had seen
all the rubber Band magic I would ever see in a lifetime, honestly, I had enough Rubber Band magic
and got a little tired of it.
But Joe is the king of this type of magic, What Roth is to
coins, Joe is to Rubber bands. I love this guy for more reasons then his magic.
This is my
honest opinion of this effect. Masterful, Outstanding, Virtuoso, Magnificent. Not since Crazy Mans
Handcuffs has a rubber band trick so captivated me. I am completely sold and from now on I will be
wearing rubber band bracelets always like Joe. I will use this at every closeup show and walk around
gig I do and also every day wherever I go I will perform this. It's so simple and it is a classic
that will live on long after me and Joe are gone.
Joe I am and always will be your friend,
That's not why I am telling you people this. I know how hard Joe has worked both in magic and his
personal life, all the struggles he has had. To come up with this is truly a beautiful result of
everything he has gone through to show that no matter where you are in life, work hard enough and
you will be rewarded.
Thank you Joe and Penguin Magic for doing this. Joe you are a master.
Congratulations on coming up with something so original and spectacular.
Mike
PS
when doing it around the hands or a spectators wrist, I love that the pressure from the Rubber Band
leaves a slight indentation on the skin that slowly fades after the band penetrates. It so sells
that it was really there and now it's not. Wow for $19,95 there is nothing this good available in
Magic.

I love Rindfleisch stuff and always buy his goods
The rubber bands are number one
But fir
this particular trick, they are tough to manage
Need a slightly larger band
And the move,
thou incredible, is hard to master

Joe was not kidding, you will thrill yourself as much as your spectator. Learned in about 10 minutes
and showed my neighbor, he flipped.

First thing I'm gonna say is that this is not "easy" per se. It's a little knacky, but not like
most knacky slights. Its been said a ton of times before in the reviews here, but its absolutely
wild when you get it to work.
When I saw the preview, I thought I might have an idea of
how it works, but I dismissed it, thinking there was absolutely no way...
Well, there is a
way, and Joe figured it out. The dude is not just prolific, but everything he puts out is quality.
If you want a purchase that is going to give you a big dopamine rush when you get it, this
one is for you.

Huge! I burst out with explosive laughter the first time I did Dyno. It's startling! Very few
effects ever make it into my strolling 'A' material, but this is a 5 Star winner. Thank you for the
brilliant thinking Joe Rindfleisch!

Very nice effects!! Clever concept and method. I always love Joe's work and I'm sure I'll perform
this one!

Great routine, and the last phase of this download by itself is worth the price of admission. One of
those rare, amazing effects with an incredible method.
Joe also talks a bit about his
creative process which was really interesting to hear about. Sometimes I wonder how others come up
with their magic and it was refreshing to get a quick, thoughtful commentary.

WTF! I watched and watched the trailer. I bought this instantly. I watched the explanation with the
sound off because of other things going on around me. THE EXPLANATION LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE REAL
EFFECT! [redacted] OMFG, UNBELIEVABLE!
(Can you tell how blown away I am?)
