I love Stairway! It's completely impromptu, you don't have to worry about your angles and you get great reactions! It's really practical, easy to learn and very effective.
I recommend when practicing not using a bill or a piece of paper just the bands, I find it easier. 5/5 from me!

I get some of my best reactions from this trick and it's very practical. Thanks for coming up with such an amazing trick!

I've been performing Stairway for a few months now and it always plays incredibly well. It's a beautifully direct, straightforward effect. I decided to write a review only now because I used it today for a really talkative spectator and Stairway just made him silent. He was stunned.
The effect is relatively easy to learn, it's impromptu, and it can be done with other things that aren't dollar bills, which is always fun. I will admit to having done Stairway with two rubberbands and a straw just because it was more convenient than asking for a dollar bill at the time.
I definitely do not recommend using a paperclip, other than for practice, because the effect plays so much more strongly when a spectator is holding onto the bill. Also, I almost never do the ending back-to-the-bottom move, but it's definitely worth putting in the time to learn just in case a spectator shouts it out (which they occasionally will).
Stairway is easily worth the asking price. Pick it up. It's awesome. Marcus, you rock.

A really cool trick. One of my favorite rubber band tricks, and most of my rubber band magic is from Marcus Eddie. So easy to learn and it's angle proof. Overall, this trick is a must have.

Pretty cool, good price. It's obvious somethings going on when heading back to the bottom even on the promo--but it's still a great impromptu effect.

This trick is one of my favorites. I learned it from the DVD FIVE, which was by the way one of my best purchases off of theory11. This trick is not only angle-proof, but the set-up can be done right in front of them! Extremely easy and effective, I recommend this to any type of magician, even if you're not a rubber band guy (I am). Marcus Eddie definitely has a complete gem of an effect. Thank you!

This is definately my favourite close up trick now after only 20 minutes practice! So easy to do! Completely angle proof and easy to perform.
I get amazing reactions from any number of spectators, not only because it's a powerful effect, but because it's really impromptu and I have improvised alot with using pen lids, keyrings (with keys), paperclips, anything (be creative). All borrowed items, even the rubber bands!

I learned this great trick off the DVD FIVE. I wish theory11 would take Marcus Eddie's other two tricks off there and make them availible like Stairway is. Stairway is very easy to perform and it looks BEAUTIFUL. My hat is off to Marcus Eddie for one of the best tricks ever!

Great effect and freaks people out everytime! Set up can be done right in front of the spectator if practiced enough. Two words: angle proof. Need I say more? Didn't think so.

Saw Marcus Eddie perform this live and my mouth dropped. Pure poetry. Went home and purchased it... within no time I had my roomie and girlfriend screaming. It leaves your eyes wide and your mouth open. This is a beautiful-well thought out trick.
He told me that I would learn this quickly and I did. So I am telling you - NOW - get this trick. You will love it!

Simply amazing - the setup is realy easy, fast and can be done in front of them. It's completely angle proof, AND you can do it surrounded. I highly recommend this, it's worth it.

I was just showing a few of my friends this trick at lunch, but when I finished, EVERYONE in the room was stunned. Very easy and very hard hitting. I highly recommend this!
Bao • Montreal, Canada • 08/18/10
This is amazing. You can do this anywhere, anytime you want. Easy to learn, completely impromptu and angle proof. This is the trick I always perform when I don't have a deck of cards with me.
I give this five stars. I highly recommend it.
