I recently saw a magician perform a trick where they took a rubber band, bit it so it was broken and then proceeded to bring the ends together where it seemed they fused together leaving one rubber band in his open palm. Anybody know where i could find this?
hey guys i'm getting into rubber bands to! and i was wondering what kind of rubber bands work the best? is it possible to use the ones off a newspaper? or should i go buy a bag at like staples or office depot? or anywhere else.

I buy these boxes and take out the orange and yellow ones (size 18 and 19) and use them for close-up linking rubber bands. The box is mixed so you also have blue size 16's if you ever need size 16. The others I use outside of magic. I also have a large box of tan #16's and one of 19's for bulk needs.
I do the same thing but I cannot get past the fact that handling on the crepe golds + cost is enough to use them exclusively. Plus, they look like regular bands. The yellow/orange is great for contrast but they seem contrived to me.
I'll have to try the golds out and see how they feel compared to the ones I'm using now, it's not like they're expensive to buy.
They are different, that's about all I can say. They feel lighter than the yellows and seem to have better stretch. You will love them if not for performance at least for practice.
Peace.
Awesome, I'll have to stop by on my way home and steal some from a box...I mean...buy a box...
