Interlocking rubber bands
This is a magic trick using rubber bands.
What’s more, it involves someone’s cooperation, so it’s sure to be even more astonishing! The secret is explained in the latter half.
With a little practice, it seems easy to master, so why not give it a try? Since rubber bands are easy to get, knowing a trick like this might come in handy quite often!
Wrapped around a watermelon and exploded
If you wrap a lot of rubber bands around a watermelon, it will crack from even a slight impact.
It actually breaks with quite a jolt, which can be really surprising.
I recommend laying down a blue tarp or doing it in the bathroom so it’s okay if the area gets messy.
The returning rubber band
I think everyone has played by shooting rubber bands, but there are probably many people who’ve never tried the game where the rubber band rolls back to you after being shot.
It’s surprisingly easy to do, so once you learn how, anyone can do it.
If you remember this when playing with small children, you’ll be a hero.
Rubber band magic that passes through a finger
This is a very simple magic trick you can do with a rubber band, yet it’s surprisingly hard to see through.
All you need is a single rubber band, and the best part is you can practice and play with it on your own—it’s a low-key but fun way to pass the time during little breaks, like between boring classes.
Once you get good at it, your friends are sure to be amazed when you show them.
Rubber band and a 5-yen coin
This is a simple game you can play with a rubber band and a five-yen coin.
Cut the rubber band to make it a single strand, then thread it through the hole of the five-yen coin.
After that, you just sway it, spin it, and pull—something like that.
Before long, you’ll get the hang of it and the coin will start to spin.
Once you start doing this, you might surprisingly find yourself doing it for a long time.
You might even enter a kind of trance!
8 Amazing Life Hacks
This is a life-hack video using rubber bands.
There are eight hacks, each explained carefully and slowly, so they seem like you could use them right away.
They all cleverly solve those everyday situations that you surprisingly encounter a lot! In other words, doesn’t this show just how amazing the possibilities of rubber bands are?!
Interlocking rubber bands
This is a magic trick using two rubber bands.
Normally, the rubber bands are separate, but in this trick, the bands end up linked together.
Of course, that’s impossible in reality, so a trick is used to make it look that way—but to the audience, it’s very mysterious.
Target shooting
Fun for toddlers and up! Here are some ideas for a target-shooting game.
Among Olympic sports, there’s shooting, where competitors use firearms to hit targets and compete for accuracy.
This time, let’s play a similar game that focuses on aiming at targets.
You’ll need straws, rubber bands, origami paper, tape, masking tape, scissors, glue, and a toilet paper roll.
Using a toy “gun” made from the toilet paper roll, the simple rule is to knock down the targets.
It’s great because everyone—from toddlers to adults—can enjoy it together.
