welcome to another episode of - “where quarantine has led me today”.

took me 5 minutes to get the rubber bands in starting position...

I knew this trick when I was a kid. Al those years later I had 2 rubber bands, but I couldn't remember anymore how to perform this. Thanks to remind me.

Every year or so I like to watch (or read) someone explaining this trick so I can remind myself that I am apparently incapable of following instructions for doing magic tricks. If I really want to feel completely useless I look at those videos explaining how to do the classic pass.

This is a great trick, and it's so simple when you learn it. Also, my left ear really loved this video.

my armpit is stuck in the microwave...

I love how he spent quite a bit of effort mocking those who ask how the trick's done.

Helped a lot. Made my friend look like a looser

I'm gonna tell my grandchildren later in my life ... "Kid, i met an awesome man when i was young, his name is Jester Jim, and i'll show you what he taught me" ... *hold my beer*

[DJNIKKI]

great. It took me over an hour until it worked without rubber bands flying around the room. I bought a kilo-pack too.
thanks for the explanation with not pushing them tigether once they are separated - I always did that, and it actually looked stupid!

This guy went to my Elementary School years ago. I'm only just finding his YouTube NOW accidentally.

This illusion was the first time I fell in love with close-up magic. Years and years ago, David Copperfield performed this for Johnny Carson on the tonight show. Years after seeing it, I mentioned it to a Magic store guy in Branson, Missouri and he sold me a VHS tape full of Dan Harlan rubber band magic!

[BaganJermal]

Thanks Jim. The first time I see this trick is when David Copperfield done it years ago. Of all his magic, the rubber band is the one that I want to know how he done it - but I can't figure out, until now.

[juliang]

Excellent explanation. I´ve loved this trick for years. I first saw it performed by Paul Daniels and thought it had to be the finest impromptu trick ever.

[DioBrando-ctet]

FINALLY someone who shows how to do it.

[stanfieldfamilyni]

Everyone this actually works I learnt it in about 5-10 minutes I just kept replaying the video!! I am going to show it to my family tomorrow!

[michelvosje]

One of my rubber bands is now behind my couch.

[ashwinmagic]

I saw many tutorials on youtube but I still could not understand it!! but now, thanks to u, I understand it!very well taught

[Jimmy_Cavallo]

You have truly mastered this. Awesome... It seems that you can't do this in a crowded bar with a bunch of people all around you since someone will be seeing this from an angle where they can see the trickery going on in your palm and you are not hiding the finger switch
