Here's a review of "The Joining" from "The Second Deal."


Reviewd by: "Jason Alford, The Second Deal" - 10/7/2002 8:07:39 PM

Jeff Pierce has put together a 6 page PDF document containing his ideas on linking a finger ring to a rubberband. Jeff's inspiration is Chris Kenner's "Missing Link" (Totally Out of Control).

This document basically contains three sections:

"The Joining" - How to cause a ring to almost visibly jump onto a rubberband.

"The Un-Joining" - This allows you to have a spectator pull the linked ring off of the rubberband themselves.

"Rubber Band Split" - This is a bonus item in which a single rubberband is split into two.
Linking a ring on a rubberband can be very magical. I think the best part of Jeff's publication is that he has worked out a way to have the spectator pull the ring off the rubberband themselves! I can see "The Un-Joining" making its way into rubberband magic routines fairly easily. For a little effort, one can add a nice addition to any ring and rubberband routine.

The bonus item is a little hard to understand at first read due to no pictures, but turns out to be a clever way to show a single rubberband and split it into two.

This electronic document is 6 pages and contains 11 pictures. For a price of $5, I recommend this for anyone who has performed, or is planning on performing, a ring and rubberband routine.

Thank you

The thing I like about this "move" is how animated it is...very visual and alive magic!

Animation = excitement.
Motion = emotion.

In this "move" the ring jumps onto the band and is plucked off by the spectator.

This is a definite addition to any good ring and band routine.

For $5 it is a steal!

Get it!
