Hi everyone! Today, I am going to teach you how to do the broken and restored rubber band.
This is a great illusion and all you need is two hands and a regular rubber band. Now, the illusion you are going to create is that this rubber band is actually broken and restored instantly. Here is how you create the illusion.
First, take your rubber band and hold it between both fingers just like this and bring the rubber band together just like so. So, it looks like one when you stretch it. Once you have done this, take your left hand, hold onto one end, take your other hand, bring this end up to here and then stretch the rubber band like so.
Now, normally, when you do this, I recommend using a longer, thinner rubber band that is brown. The reason I recommend that type of rubber band is when the two ends are twisted together, the audience will not notice it. The reason I am using the yellow rubber band is to make it easier for you to see what I am doing.
Now, this creates the illusion that one rubber band is going around both of your hands, when in reality, the end is right over here. Now, to create the illusion that you actually I should say, breaking the rubber band, this hand reaches over here and pulls and you will hear a sound. Listen, [rubber band sound], just like that. You are sure the rubber band break. Now, when you hold it like this, the audience believes it is broken.
Now, what you would do at this point is you release the rubber band into your right hand and close it just like so. Wave your hand over just like that and when you open it up, you will have of course the rubber band back in one piece.
Now, with enough practice and with the right rubber band, you can make this illusion really look amazing and wow from people. Have a great day.
