I saw a video online that Joe posted a while back playing around with an arrow made from bands. I
immediately emailed him wanting to know if he would be teaching this. He replied that it was part of
something "in the works". Finally, I received an email that it was out and I bought it immediately.
Now I have my arrow and so much more.
This is to rubber band magicians what "Cardistry" is
to card magicians. Not necessarily a "trick" but a "really cool thing you can do that most others
can't even conceive".
Can you make it a "trick"? Certainly, If you use your creativity. I
would use it more as an attention grabber. You already have your bands with you, you are sitting at
the bar, or in the park, wherever and you start to twist out these incredible 3D shapes. It will get
peoples attention, especially if you are using Joe's awesome line of brightly colored bands. After
showing off some shapes, you can easily segue into a rubber band effect like CMH and go from there
(to other band stuff, cards, coins whatever).
This video download, like all of Joe's
downloadable effects, is well taught from multiple angles and full of useful info (without a lot of
excess babble).
Almost 1/3 of my "working set" is done with rubber bands and I am very
happy that I can now add this beautifully colorful "eye candy" to my professional repertoire. If you
do rubber band effects in your magic, grab this video up (along with some of his awesome colored
bands) and get practicing.

I've been eyeing this up for some time and finally took the plunge. I have a knack for remembering
things like this so had the sequence memorised over a weekend. The responses have been incredible -
although it's not magic, it's magical and people find real wonder in this. Other magicians (like -
really, really exceptional magicians) were blown away by it. A perfect addition to a rubber band
routine, especially if set to music.
