I like the idea of using Mardi Gras beads to perform one of most classic tricks in magic, the
linking rings. As far as impromptu goes, this is perfect. I love it because I can wear them
around, do the trick, and give them out as a small gift (get a pack from Dollar store).
On the video, the instructor does a good job crediting his influences, but also assumes that the
student (me) knows what he is talking about, and knows the effect he speaks of. I didn't.
The "critical" move for the trick to work is pretty obvious, even when trying to find a way to
make a cover. Though the "critical" movement is small, trying to cover it with a bigger movement is
still insufficient.
There is only one camera angle in the instruction. It would had been
helpful to have an "over the shoulder" view for some parts. (personal preference)
The
trick is good, impromptu, and done well a very visual effect that can be cool. The price is
reasonable, but if watch the demo and have some former rubberband knowledge, you can figure it out.
Do it for people at a party (that has drinks) and everyone should love it. Kids are smart, they
pick up on what's happening readily easily.
Good, not great
