Hey guys, i love Nate Staniforth's work. He was one of the magicians who most inspired me to learn magic.

I'm currently working on my rubber band magic, and while i was searching for some nice effects i saw this little glimpse of one of his tricks with apparently a rubber band. The trick in question happens from 0:10 mins to 0:15 mins in this video. Yes, we can only see 5 seconds of the trick but it seems to be a very strong trick that ends with the rubber band above the wrist on the spectator while the magician is grabbing his closed fist. Anyone knows if that is a comercial effect or where i can find more information about it? It seems like my kind of trick - visual and in the spectator hands.

Thanks for the help.

Sorry I don't know the effect, however I'd ask Dan Harlan http://www.danharlanmagic.com/ Not only is he a guru of sorts on Rubber Band Magic and bar stunts, he is a brilliant magician. And to top it all off he is a super nice guy.

Thanks bmat, very nice of you. I've sent him a message, I'll keep this post updated in case he helps.

I did just hear that he may be going through some personal issues, not sure if it is true or just a rumor. Just letting you know in case he doesn't get back to you its because of other things going on.

Ok, he was actually super nice, he answered:

"I can't tell anything from that 5 seconds of video.
Have you tried contacting Nate Staniforth?
In my opinion if you want quick, visual, involving spec's hands, rubber band magic... you must do Hanson Chien's "Touch" http://www.rubberbandmagic.com/product/ ... ien-touch/

He answered pretty quick also. Touch is a nice effect, I'm already familiar with it but it was a great sugestion. I'll try to contact nate as he says. Thanks for helping out bmat
