That's about all I can say about that in the title,.. just "yeah!"

Yes, the video DOES cut out an important "get ready" but that's understandable n this case,. it can be done right under people's noses without getting caught. Haven't tried it yet, but have gotten way with away with a lot worse. Although I already have a follow up to the Crazy Man's Handcuffs, I could see this being a perfect follow up as, well as a lead in.

At a cheap intro price, ease of execution, this is a highly recommended download. One of the only one's I haven't been disappointed with in a long time. Already being a great fan of Dan's work in general, this one didn't fail to live up to it's reputation. This is practical, real world stuff that can be performed only after a short bit of practice. It's a visual stunner so it has mo language barrier as it's completely unnecessary to speak. Perfect for any close up situation as it's all done in the hands all while framing the face. Angles are only sensitive as people start to get behind you, they're are perfect I would say at about 100 degrees directly in front of you.

Overall this is a great effect that you should have in your repertoire and can be done at a moment's notice as long as the situation is right and completely impromptu, considering you have or can find 2 rubber bands to use (That's if you're not like me or the 100's of other magicians out there who tend to keep a bunch of them around your wrist a all times. no matter where you are anyway)

Let's see, I mentioned, practical, real world worker. simple to learn, visual,... Yeah!!!

Get it, learn it, keep it for those special instances, perform it well, watch your angles (from behind) and you'll have an amazing segway to or from any of your favorite rubber band routines, or just a sand alone effect for those people who don't have the time to give for anything more.

I love it, and it's going straight into my everyday repertoire within the next few days. Once I've got it down completely. I can do it, but still a little fumbly with it. Not sure if there's anything I haven't mentioned, so feel free to comment at me below. Enjoy, and remember to have fun with your audience. So many magi these days buying these tricks expect things to work for them with no practice and without having to engage with their audience enough to steer their attention away from them for just a fraction of a second in order to get a "secret move" of some sort done. Like the one on here, then I see them on here using the review section to prove how lazy and terrible they are at magic and how much worse they are at putting in the work it takes to be a great magician. Remember people, it's you who provides the magical moment for the spectator, not the trick itself, the trick is just a catalyst. You must always practice hard, and work for their attention, even after you've gained it, even harder! Stop blaming the tricks for your lack of showmanship, or desire to better yourself. MAGIC IS A PERFORMANCE ART, THAT MEANS, PRACTICE TIL IT'S MUSCLE MEMORY, REHEARSE THE EFFECTS SO THAT YOU CAN MOVE THROUGH THEM SEEMLESSLY. AND DON'T GET TOO BIG HEADED, MOST PEOPLE HAVEN'T SEEN A MAGICIAN UP CLOSE SO DON'T LET THEIR COMMENTS GET TO YOUR HEAD!!!

Much Luv and respect to all
