Good collection of rubber band tricks. Had a dash of similarity to rubber deception and rubber
deception, but worthy to learn if you are looking for more variations. Must have for any rubber band
worker. Most effects require bands on your wrist.
Yeah, I worked closely with Joe Rindfleisch on this. He's a good friend. It's a definite continuation of his work on Rubber Deception and Rubber Delusion. I'd like to think that I have added significantly to his ideas but we absolutely stand on the shoulders of giants.
Thanks for comment about the "bands on wrist" requirements, as it's something I prefer to avoid.
Two of the effects do not require bands on the wrist. The rubber band through thumb, and the second phase of the jumping band effect.
I do not wear bands on my wrist in the traditional way. I prefer to wear a long sleeve shirt and carry one to four bands on my wrist (Usually only one or two).
On the video, I only carry one band on my wrist and hide it with the sleeve. Because of the nature of the effects in this project this method starts and ends clean.
I also cover a method that can be applied to a couple of the effects, that allows you to perform with short sleeves, no watch, and a single rubber band.
Here's that version:

It won't work for every situation but it's perfect for video and somewhat practical for live performance.
I would always be happy to be informed if a rubber band trick requires to wear rubber band(s) around my wrist - regardless if I could hide them with long sleeves or not. It's definitely not my style to wear rubber bands around my wrist.
@ThomasHenkel That's all good. Just so you are aware. Two of the effects do not require you to wear rubber bands on the wrist, and you do not need sleeves. You could perform these two effects naked if you wanted with just a single rubber band.
