Here’s a quick trick catches people by surprise. In fact, the switch is so smooth, so impossible, that people don’t even realize it happened until you point it out to them. Then they freak out.

It’s a new spin on an old idea (of J.B. Bobo), and it looks like this:

Pull out two of your girlfriend’s hair ties, differently colored, and explain, “Whenever she leaves something at my apartment, I turn it into a magic trick. Now let me show you what I came up with using these…”

You wrap one hair tie around the spectator’s finger, keeping the other one for yourself. You ask the spectator to touch her finger to her thumb, so there’s no way you can get to the tie.

And then, before she knows what hits her, THE HAIR TIES HAVE ALREADY SWITCHED PLACES.

Fast, easy, more colorful than a rubber band trick.

Old concept, new working. This has been well redone to move the old puzzle into a piece of magic. Stunningly simple, yet great reactions so far.

I use rubber bands in lieu of hair ties and the such. Works great and gives me one more teriffic trick to add to my rubber band arsenal.

Hair Tie Coloration by Rick Lax is BRILLIANT! No gaffs, no fumbling, just incredible thinking!

I went to Walmart and picked up the ties and they work so easily.

GET THIS!

Self working, beginners. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 4th, 2021
Easily explained, easily done.
Although self working and easy to perform, not really something many will add to an act.
However, little kids think it’s great. I enjoy using this in conjunction with some other goofy tricks.

men and women alike have seen this product so it is an every day item that even young children have held in their hand.
I would consider it to be everyday object made into a Miracle.

Great Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 2nd, 2013
This is well worth your consideration. I perform mostly Mentalism - and this effect could be used to show how Falliable short term memory is. Also perfect for strolling or cocktail party. Many presentation ideas for this effect. Rick does an excellent job of covering the details. I am glad I ordered this and will put it to good use. Easy to do but you need the fine points presented on this download. So now you will have to excuse me as I run out to buy some hair loops.

Slick! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 29th, 2013
I have not done this for anyone YET, BUT! This is so cool it's almost stupid! Definitely worth the very meager price asked for to buy it. Just get it and thank me later. One of the best (if not THE best) instant downloads you can buy!

Very quick to learn, minimal practice needed, it almost does itself. Glad I bought it, you will be too!

I purchased some loom loops and it works great...
A simple moment of wonder :-)
Elastic bands could be used as an alternative.

DISAPPOINTED Report this review

I am a huge Rick Lax fan, but this effect is not worth the price you have to pay. It is so simple, that oftentimes the spectator doesn't even understand what happened.
