Hey Penguins!

Does anyone know where I can learn this little routine? I once saw a website somewhere that teaches it for free and now I can not find it. Or if anyone knows how to do it, could you PM me the instructions? I know that it is such a small trick, but it plays big!! Thanks for anyhelp you can provide. Thanks again!! Peace! *street*

Sorry, I can't tell you how it works, because it is a marketed effect...In other words, that would be exposure. Michael Ammar sells a little booklet teaching it.

There used to be a download here available for it....

I know an independent dealer who will give you a good price on it. The Downloadable version anyway. Let me know through PM.

There is a site that shows different effects for free and Crzy Man's Handcuffs is on the site. They don't sell any tricks I think they have a few Karl Fulves books but that's it. I guess its ok if I tell the name of the site since they don't sell tricks if not Penguin can delete it. Try looking for The Conjuring Cabaret. Hope this helps.

There is also a book out called Elastrix, and I believe an Elastrix 2. The first volume includes CMH, as well as many other tricks with rubberbands.

I believe penguin has it under quantum bandits and I think it is taught on pinnacle.

This is a great effect. I use it a lot for informal work.

I would suggest that you pick up a copy of Michael Ammar's booklet on this. It's titled "The Crazy Man's Handcuffs," and you should be able to find it at many online shops, or your local magic shop. It will take some effort for you to learn this (don't expect to learn it well in a few days), but it is certainly worth it.

I believe (though I am not sure) that you can also find it in The Magic of Michael Ammar.

Yep, Elastrix is where I learned it from. It took me forever to figure it out though, & it was almost accidental that I did. But, the book set me in the right direction to do so.

I own Pinnacle, but I don't remember it being taught on there. And I'm too lazy to go make sure...

There is a PINNACLE DVD, pretty cheap.
