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.
