Does your piece of wood also make the girls giggle? Is that magic or arts and crafts? Do you do walkaround at restaurants with this piece of wood in your hand? I don't think we are all on the same page.

Al, I don't do street or walk-around, I only perform at our local church for the youth.

Reguardless of where you perform magic, you have stripped away all entertainment value from this trick, until there is nothing left but a gimmicked rubber band, and a piece of wood.
What were you thinking Al Angello

I'm a bit confused with this sanded wood with nails. Could you further explain please? Thanks!

Rmoraleta, I like the star gazer trick but I didn't like all the moves in the effect. It's probably just me, but I like to keep things simple and easy and not too difficult to remember. The paper instructions on rubberbands tricks can sometimes be difficult.
Because I only perform one trick each week to the same group of kids, I can only perform each of my tricks once a year so they don't see the same trick twice in any given year. So that's where the wood comes in. I hammered small nails into the wood in the shape of a circle, a square, and a star. I let the kids examine this prop as well as a regular rubber band. To them, it's just a piece of wood with nails in it and a regular rubber band. You cannot tell the nails are in specific position, it just looks like a bunch of nails all clumped together. After I (do the move with the regular rubber band) I place the band over certain nails to make a circle shape and ask the kids what shape the band is in, they will say a circle. Then I'll reposition the band over certain nails to make a square and ask the kids what shape the band is in, they will say a square. Then I reposition the band again to make a star and ask the kids what shape the band is in, they will say a star. At this point you can end however you want to end. Throughout the routine I'll use a patter with a biblical application. Hope this clarifies all the confusion. Tom |

Tom
Now I understand what you are talking about, but what you do isn't "Stargazer" what you do is "rubberband taxidermy". Whoda thunk to nail the rubberband to a plaque, and mount the plaque on the wall. What an original trick. Maybe I'm crazy Al Angello

Al, because I varied the effect, of course this version doesn't live up to star gazer. But the end result is the regular rubber band has turned into a star shaped rubber band that I can hand out at the end. The kids love it. Tom
