We cannot see what your doing....
I see that your doing something with elastic loops but that's all.

what?

(if needed) pm me what ur trying to say

It's a good trick, but your angle is wrong. Much better to take it from your front, slightly from above.
Don't have a baige color behind elastic magic with baige elastics.
You should never hide the elastics, they should be in view all the time, but your right hand keeps blocking the view of the elastics completetly, so you can't see anything but the back of your right hand.
And it's best not to take your hands out of the camera frame at any time. You don't need to with this tirick, you can do it within the frame
Why don't you try again?

I'm going to re-do the vid, i taped the trick 4 or 5 times and you could see how it was done so i re-taped one quickly. plus i got beter at the trick

Hmm ok well the second one was better but you still need to work on it. You were right to use bigger bands too.

When you do the move it is kind of obvious that you are doing something. This is supposed to be disguised with your movements. I better PM you hang on!

Much better
See here how Oz Perlman does it, using a big motion to hide the tiny one.

And it's much better not to change fingers, always keep the elastic on thumb and index finger

I'm not quite getting how you are doing this.

It looks like you start with the band on your thumb and middle finger.. then when pulling, your pointy finger starts messing around doing something (that looks really fishy), the band flips up further on your thumb and you end with the band on the thumb and index finger.

sorry-that just didn't look smooth or fluid at all. Or look like the 'move' at all from what I saw.

It really needs to start with thumb and index fingers and end that way as well.
