I haven't really studied rubber band tricks before but this was a real winner for me. You don't require any special rubber bands and the method is super simple to learn. It's a bit mind-bending how it works but it does and the effect really stumps viewers. You can perform it really close up and you can practically see the penetration of the finger or whatever object you use. A keeper for me. It's like real magic!

Not as easy as it looks.

Overview:
I often look at all the 3-star and lower reviews before I purchase anything, because often if there is a legitimate problem with any product, they'll be the ones honestly exposing it. I'm glad to say that when I see contradictory reviews, if usually fills me with confidence, and this didn't disappoint.

It was fun to learn, knacky to master (fills the sleight of hand artist in me with joy), and hits as harder than anything else that can be done with a broken rubber band.

The Instruction:
The styling of the tutorial was definitely not for everyone, but I found it charming (though to be fair, I also find the bridging skits in rap albums charming for a similar reason). Their explanation of the effect, how to do it, and the variety of objects it can penetrate is all very well done. Their presentation on how to get into it was fine for me, but not nearly as expansive as it could have been (as other reviews have commented). They provide no script or patter recommendations, but I don't think that it's needed for effects like this.

Handling:
Because this can use a broken rubber band, I like doing it with a band that the spectator has broken (attempting to do a broken and restored effect after I've done one), or that I break after saying "but really, I need this broken for my next effect", and along with something like "object rising up the band" that also makes use of the broken band. It turns a band that's old and worn out into a little bit more magic before it gets discarded.

Verdict:
It would be wild not to add this to your repertoire if you already do things with rubber bands, or you're looking for just one really punchy effect with rubber bands that's not crazy man's handcuffs!

I am very happy with ( Intrickation by Dr.Cyril Thomas & Justine Cesari.) now I need to do a little bit of work to make it look as good as Dr.Cyril Thomas.

This is the ultimate “looks like a special effect” bit of rubber band business. The penetration looks jaw-dropping in real time. Took me some reps to make it bulletproof, but was it ever worth it. I’ve seen comments about the get ready, but I believe any reasonably experienced magician can easily do the dirty work right in front of spectators without any difficulty at all. Yes, it’s quick, but this will be the one band move your spectators will tell others about. Best piece of band business since lazy man’s handcuffs.

It's as good as it looks in the video. So I'll definitely add it to for example a extra ending to for example my version of the Crazy man's handcuffs routine.
But there is, at least there was in my case, a bit of a learning curve. It's not a knuckle busting move like some of the coin- and cardmoves I mastered over time. But the 'getting into position' and 'the release' (I'm not telling you anything you can't see in the promo clip; there is a position and there is a release ;-)), required a bit more experimentation than I anticipated.
Other than that Iike it very much as an addition to my rubberband repertoire!

Greats effets and clear explanations.

An other very good and original projet from Cyril Thomas in magic rubber band revolution.

Hight recommended.

Have a great time with this project.
Thank you for bringing this to the world!
Dr.Cyril Thomas, Justine Cesari & Raphael Klein!
