Dalton seems like a cool guy but the promises from the trailer do not match up with the
instructions.
The demonstration of the vanishing band in the trailer does not look like
that in real life. He uses a cut to ditch the band in the trailer. Not honest.
In the color
changing band your setup is anything but practical. He doesn't even mention a way for you to do the
trick for a live audience. It's purely a for camera trick and there are many other ways to do the
same effect.
Jump is awful. The gimmick is impractical, and the vanish will not work
in the real world or on video. You have to permanently install the gimmick to your person in order
to perform this, and the vanish leaves a lot to be desired. The same effect can actually be
accomplished with Marcus Eddie's effect Armband, and you don't need any gimmicks. Dalton's approach
is a step backward.
Band link is hardly an original idea, yet it is the most practical. I'm
sure Dan Harlan thought of this right around the time he thought of the impromptu linking rubber
bands.
This was not a great project in my opinion. There are many other rubber band
projects available here on Penguin that are worth your time.
