Hi

The only one I have ever seen is available on this site: http://www.magic-mirror.co.uk/

Hope this helps

Hi Again

Sorry about that I must remember to read the post before replying "Doh".

I do a bit of rubber band magic but I think the coloured bangles might be a bit large and a bit too heavy to incorporate into any of the band magic I know.

However I suppose pinnacle (ring to rubber band trick) might be possible with thicker bands but the weight is still probably and issue.

I find doing the crazy mans handcuffs a bit tricky with elastic bands so I doubt I'm able to do it with those bands

any tips for misdirection (i know off topic :roll: ) for misdirection with the "move"
(I hope that makes sence)

What ? :shock: There is no way you could do Pinnacle with a wristband.
The fact that the band is thin and stretchy is what makes Pinnacle possible.

Hi

I meant that it may be possible to substitute the ring in pinnacle for the wristband.

Oh I see :oops: You can see how I thought you meant the band if you re-read your post.

Sorry for that, I can see what you mean now but I still don't think it would be practical.
