Hi! I’m Tim the magician, my stage name Tim’s Tricks in Motion serving magical entertainments in the Greater Washington Area. I’d like to now show you a trick with a rubber band. Pretty simple, all you do is place it over two smaller fingers, your pinky and your index finger. I have a green one so you could see it. as I place it around the smaller fingers, snap my fingers, blow it, blow on it, you’ll see it travels from the two smaller to the two larger fingers as if by magic. Now, I can go further by putting that back where it is. Taking another rubber band, a red one, two different colors is best, say the magic words, secret magic words, snap my fingers and now the rubber bands switch places, the red is now here, the green is around the two bigger fingers.
The way that’s done, I’ll show with one rubber band first. It’s pretty simple yet deceiving. I’ll show you my palm, before -- when you're showing it, you only show the back of the hand but if I show you the palm, how I get into this, I put it around the two smaller fingers and I pull, and I stretch it so I form a bog open area to place all the fingers except my thumb, all fingers go inside and I close that rubber band around the tips, the thumb isn’t involved, that’s what happens. Nobody sees that because the hand is turned this way facing you. The audience only sees the rubber band as if it’s around the smaller fingers. Say some magic words or snap to do the magic and watch it travel from the smaller fingers to the other fingers.
They're already there, its almost half way there rather because it’s around those bog fingers right there and when you shoot your fingers straight up, I’ll show you what it looks like from behind the scenes. It jumps over to the two larger fingers because its already there on the one side, the side that people can’t see.
Again, palm, place all fingers into that area you’ve made when you stretched it. The tips of the fingers receive the rubber band, the thumb not involved, turn around, snap your fingers it looks like its only here and to really be sure no one’s seeing this, you could perhaps pull it closer to your body, snap your fingers to do the magic and shoot straight up and it seems to pull it, rubber band onto the other fingers like magic.
Real quickly to do two rubber bands, the green, do a different color, red, same thing, you grab both of them, I’m showing you the exposed of view, grab of them, make that big area, put all fingers in between so it receives it on the tips of the fingers, thumb not involved. That’s what you do and if you shoot your fingers up, straight up in the air. The rubber bands switch places real quick. This is the exposed view, grab one and grab the other, the green will now go back, make that big -- put all fingers inside, big areas, put it -- rest it against the fingers, the green will now go back to this side, the red will go back to that side. Snap your fingers, say some magic words, and shoot your fingers up. And it’s a nice clean -- usually a nice clean transfer of rubber bands and that’s how you do the jumping rubber band trick using two of them. Thank you.
