Cool Magic Tricks Revealed


Jumping Rubber Band

In this magic trick, the rubber band mysteriously gets shifted from your little finger and ring finger, to the first and middle finger of the same hand and back again. You can use a normal rubber band or a hair band. To begin hold your hand up and wrap the rubber band around your little and ring finger. Make sure the rubber band is right at the base of the fingers, as the back of your hand faces the audience. With the other hand, stretch the rubber band and fold your first, little, ring and middle finger into the loop. Rest your fingers properly in the loop by folding them against your palm. Now quickly, open your palm, removing the little and ring finger first, so that the rubber band jumps to the other two fingers. With a little bit of practice, you will be able to master this rubber band magic trick.
