Josh Simpson · Aug 26, 2009

Hey, this message is to anyone who does rubberband magic as I think it is a great close up idea and would like in on it.
Can anyone advise some references that may beable to help me begin in rubberband magic?
Cheers

I have heard that Greg Morelands dvd set is pretty good. It goes from beginner to advanced. Again, I dont have it but I've heard from several people its pretty good. You can find it here.

Also, check out the name Joe Rindfleisch. You'll have to search a little but he's got a pretty good looking one I've seen called jumper where a knot jumps on and off.

Band Shark I believe it's called. Personally, I enjoy Missing link from Chris Kenner's book Totally Out of Control, Slink form Daniel Garcia's BentTouchSlink and Rubber Made, by Daniel Garcia on Project 1.

The great thing about rubber bands is that trick difficulties don't tend to range off too far, you can always be sure that after some practice you'll get the moves down

Have a look at 'Band' by Aldo Columbini. It is very useful and gives you loads of Idea's.

I'm surprised not a single reply mentioned Joe Rindfleish, without giving away too much of my secrets check out Elastrix 1&2. Enough said. Peace

The very first reply mentioned Joe...

But agreed, Dan Harlan and Joe Rindfleish both have tons of terrific material out there, including some perfect "starter" material.

I have a modification of Missing Link that I perform every day. All I need is one rubber band and I can use someone's hair stretchy thing if i wanted to. My version's also a lot easier to set up and a bit cleaner. Also, instead of just pulling them apart to separate them I just blow on the spot where they're linked and they pop apart.

My bad I missed that and I own jumper and perform it daily.

You mean you basically do Slink?
