Revealing the Secret of the Rubber Band Teleportation Magic Trick
This is a simple magic trick where a rubber band that’s hooked around the index and middle fingers appears to jump to the ring and little fingers.
The key is how you hook the rubber band in the part hidden by your palm: the band stretched between the pinky and thumb is firmly secured.
When you release the thumb, it jumps to the opposite side; then when you release the pinky, it jumps again.
Because it’s done in two stages, it creates an even stronger sense of mystery.
The angle of your wrist to prevent the audience from noticing the complex hooking, and the way you move your fingers so they don’t realize it’s fixed, are also crucial points.
A magic trick where a rubber band instantly passes through a finger
This is a magic trick where a rubber band looped around the fingers of one hand appears to pass through a finger on the other hand.
You can do it right away just by learning how to place the rubber band.
The key points are to use a slightly larger rubber band and a colored one so it’s easy to see that it has passed through.
Rubber band magic costs almost nothing in materials, is easy to carry around, and can be performed anytime, anywhere—highly recommended!
A rubber band slowly piercing through a finger
Many of you have probably seen the rubber band-through-finger magic trick.
Because of that, some people might already know the secret, or think, “If you do it in an instant, of course you can make it look like it passes through somehow.” So here, we’re introducing a version where the rubber band slowly passes through your finger.
The method is very simple.
Hook a rubber band onto your middle finger and hold it firmly in place with your other fingers.
Next, while pulling the hooked rubber band toward the back of your hand, stretch it over your index and middle fingers.
At this point, adjust the angle of your fingers so the rubber band originally hooked on your middle finger can’t be seen—hide it with your palm and the base of your fingers.
After that, slowly pull the rubber band toward the index finger side, and it will look as if the band is passing through your finger.
A magic trick where you penetrate a rubber band that the spectator is holding
The trick itself is the same as the one-person rubber band penetration magic.
In that case, having the spectator help should surprise them even more! It’s more fun than just watching, and it naturally brings you closer—two birds with one stone! It’s a simple trick, but you can involve the audience and really hype things up.
Rubber band magic you can do in 5 seconds
Highly recommended when you want something quick to show off! Here are ideas for rubber band magic you can do in 5 seconds.
It introduces three types of tricks using rubber bands that are handy when you want to perform simple magic.
Use them as an opener for your performance or when you want to promote your stage—give them a try.
Each idea is easy and simple, perfect for beginners.
Using colored rubber bands will make it easier for the audience to see what’s happening.
Take this opportunity to give it a try.
A magic trick where a rubber band passes through the thumb
This is a penetration magic trick that anyone can easily do with an ordinary, ungimmicked rubber band.
Normally, a rubber band looped around your thumb won’t come off unless you pull it toward the fingertip.
But in this trick, without pulling forward, you tug the band and it seems to pass through your finger and come off! Grab a rubber band and watch the video.
The secret lies in how you put the band on.
First, show the audience in the normal way that the band won’t come off, then on the second try use this method to make it penetrate—this kind of presentation is recommended.
Take a star out of a rubber band
If you show this at school or work, you might grab everyone’s attention all at once! What we’re introducing here is a magic trick where you pull a star out of rubber bands using two bands.
By manipulating the two rubber bands like cat’s cradle, you form a star shape.
After making the star shape twice, give the bands a strong pull and let go—then one of the rubber bands will be hanging as a small star! The cat’s cradle part requires a few slightly complex steps, so watch the video and practice several times!
