I really liked the DVD. I was a bit skeptical and before watching the DVD I was thinking it was
going to be a difficult move or it was something that was going to require setup as the demo didn't
show the moves in succession. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the moves are very doable,
very clean, and can be done in succession. the entire DVD was very well thought out and there are
several different ways of doing a complete little routine. One of the best rubber band effect I
have seen, and it only requires one rubber band, no gimmicks.

Just received my copies of Rubber Thru Hand by Dan, and Melting Point by Casshan yesterday. Watched
both last night. First, Rubber Thru Hand.
Playing around with rubber bands for years, it
was quite easy to figure out the handling from Penguins rather poor camera angles, so even tho I
knew the workings of this illusion, I knew Dan would offer some other bonus stuff and subtleties on
the DVD.
I personally felt this should have been priced at 9.95. 19.95 is rather crazy for
only ONE trick and less than 30 minutes of instruction. However, that said, the instruction was very
clear and easy to follow. Dan covered every angle well.
As expected Dan offered several
nice extra touches to this already cool effect. A few different handling suggestions on each
finger. Even doing it with NO cover, just waving the hand with the band - very nice. Plus a few
nice 'slow' moves, to make it even more amazing.
Menu was easy to follow and I appreciated
the 'extras' that Dan offered. This is my first effect to purchase by Dan. If you like Rubber band
stuff, I believe you will enjoy performing this and with practice and watching your angles, this
could easily be done surrounded.
I like the fact there are no gimmicks involved, just one
rubber band which can be borrowed.
If the price was more reasonable I would have given
this 5 stars, but just personally feel 20 bucks a little steep. I've purchased other DVD's with over
2 hrs of instruction for 20 bucks.
But, indeed, a very nice, clean, smooth, rubber band
trick you can perform anywhere, anytime. Recommended for rubber band enthusiasts.

Just got my copy in the mail....the move is easy to learn and pretty natural looking....I'd say the
hardest part (kinda angle sensitive) is the last finger, but with practice I'm sure I'll work that
out.
He also gives a couple of options for moves...not a fan of the option, but there is
one bonus move that is very good....if you can misdirect for a second.
Instruction is
good, clear and has different angles.
Only beef....the price is a little high.
Overall, sick trick to do anytime and very easy to learn.

I have never written a review but this is so good i have to! This is one of the best effects i have
gotten in awhile it is so good that i almost fooled myself when practicing in the mirror. Dan Hauss
also explains it real well. i highly recommend it its one Dan's best work

At first I was a little disappointed until I put a little effort into practicing. In a little more
than two days I was walking around with a rubber band penetrating my fingers one at a time. My
friends were stunned. I would recommend this trick due to its easy to always have a rubber band
around your wrist and you always have your hand. If someone asks you to do something instantly your
ready to go.

First review I done for penguin magic. This is a great trick. Dan explained it perfectly. However,
25 mins is abit short. Easy to learn and looks good with crazyman handcuffs and touch by hanson (my
routine)

Great trick! Wife loved and she's hard to fool. Need to have a great reason for holding your
fingers. Should have been sent as a link and not a DVD as there are no props.it might lessen the
cost.
This was one of the easiest closeup routines to learn (maybe because I'm a guitar player) and the
spectators' response is great.
I have been doing rubber band magic for a few years now. They are my intermission tricks after or
before card tricks. When I saw this illusion I thought it would add something to my routine. It
most certainly did!
Dan provides great instructions, easy to follow and what is nice about
it, the move is easy to do. Still I am one to practice for a good 72 hours before I show it to
anyone.
Thank you Dan Hauss & Blake Vogt - excellent illusion! You guys Rock!
Actually, I love this effect!
It takes some learning of this skill and I'm happy to do this!
It's visual mystery when performed properly is beautiful.
Thanks so much.
