Crazy Man's Handcuffs - classic rubber band magic

[tetlee555]

the second time was specially awesome !!!

[Chatumpeh]

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRR

[xTHELTTiLEMANx]

i no how to do that but u do it good

[heliojanusz]

this was my first magic trick as well, apart from Criss Angels lipstick trick. You do this one really good- sweet!

[briancorrie]

Sweet move mate. Very smooth. I've been a magician for many years but still have gotten around to rubber bands. Will have to one day. Good for close up magic. Top effort.

[cspotrn]

@briancorrie Thanks Brian! Throwing a video up on YouTube is like throwing yourself into shark infested waters. You don't know how many times I had to record this to get "the move" done well enough to not blatantly give it away.

Very cool you been a magician for a while. When I was doing it, I loved rubber bands because they're common and everywhere. Not like having to carry around a deck of cards.

[robinworldwide]

Great addition with the second bit but I would advise you do the first transposition much slower and possible use smaller bands... I've been doing a routine based on this effect for over ten years and it never fails to amaze the audience. Nice work <]:o)

[ThePs3GaMeR321]

he switches his fingers its simple!

[GSPV33]

Great trick!

[quikflow]

I bet he goes to MIT.

[cspotrn]

[millionseas]

[mattwildchild]

the only thing i dont like about "magic" is when u know the revealed version lol.

nice job, i cant figure out how u did it lol

[StrongPie]

i got bent touch slink by Daniel Garcia ( great DVD btw i recommend it to anyone!) and it shows you how to do it as a bonus to slink, very great trick!

[chocalatecocoloco2]

i cANT DO IT, FUCK U

[trech23]

[SMB298513]

Took me a couple views to figure out how you did it the second time

[richiesgotmoney]

i dunt get it it just pop off man u suck

[kwok3d]

I think he did something at 0:16. Good trick tho.

[JaviDeAce]

you rock ^^

[Johnny89Applez]

Excellent performance. Haha to bad theres a tutorial in the related video section

[uchihahaclan]

nice trick :D

[yake12]

this was very well preformed. i figured out how to do the second part but i had to look it up lol

[kieran369]

i can do the 1st one. can you remember where that tutorial is for the second variation?

[kaaitj]

Yes but still a great trick, easy but amazing

[bjclue17]

[AfgLegend]

Nerd no lifer much?

[cspotrn]

Yeah. That was true two years ago when I recorded the video. It's funny how things change over time...

[djdecker543]

nice 1 thanx!

[LWbattler]

i think i no how he did second half but great job

[StKildaFan]

Wow. I know the first half (Oz Pearlman) but how'd you do the second phase?

[WrestlingFreak360]

u really like the word interlock

[Gz00111]

I Just Done The Second One And I Tried To Show It On My Sister But The Rubber Band Broke And Hit My Hand... It Hurts Bere's!

[jesuslordie]

its @ 00:16 left hand

[gartlove]

brilliant mate!

[fluffycottncandi]

wow, you did the first one so smoothly! I haven't figured out the second one yet but the camera kind of blurs so it's hard to see what you're doing.

[cspotrn]

Yeah. I figured out how to use the focus function on the camera AFTERWARDS. Thanks for the comment nonetheless.

[jeremyhak2]

0:15 is very suspicious... If you know the trick, then that is where he did the Melting step. Great performance!

[castusartorius]

gooood

[ibskibskale]

I want to see how to do it

[footballfield94]

00:15

[Ivansky1]

[thehugetaco]

[mollyhadadolly]

[coolboi08]

I finally see where you did it after watching it twice...Well done!

[elements201]

Man, you do it so clean. Its very nice, you do the switch when your showing the audience. Very clever! hahha

[cspotrn]

Thanks. It's gotta look perfect on camera, so practice, practice, practice.

[fullblooduchiha]

CHEATER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[avfoering]

[deivuxas13lt]

[cspotrn]

jamestrout has a nice tutorial. (See his name a few comments below.)

[rammcconnell]

[artfreak99]

[jamestrout]

nice version, check out my version where you put the bands back together, respect James

[jamestrout]

love your version!!! 5 stars for u my friend, chech out my version.... respect & ignore the negitive comments, you do it better than anyone i've seen

[jcroldan89]

Thats a new way of doing it! Nice one. Took me a while to find when you done it hehe

Bravo

[rafmedic]

thats not a tutorial it just rubs in the fact that i dont know how its done

[Magician396]

Lol just find someone willing to trade or find a tutorial.

[Seanpoo888]

[tomocool99]

tell me how its done pleaseeeeee?

[kiteboarder2000]

Exalent video. Now you inspired me to take up magic again.

[sargonnis]

vial satanic spawn. spread your evil elsewhere.

[lugiadoom]

Hey, I see where your finger slipped off the rubber band. =P

I am a Hong Kong student. Are you living in Hong Kong now?

[cspotrn]

No. I live in the US, but still periodically visit family in HK. I believe YouTuber mariowong is in HK, but all his great videos have been taken down for some reason.

[WillieD7311]

nice job. you shud show a tutorial on how to do it

[cspotrn]

Thanks Willie. YouTuber jamestrout has a nice tutorial for the unlink. Must keep the second phase of the unlink in my video a secret though. =X

[Dummyisdumb]

good job. although I caught the secret (I know it) but good performance anyways

[setbaby]

Yeah, i agree with ariwoolf. You have to pull it apart SLOWLY to , yeah, make it more magical... but it was great...

[ariwoolf]

Nice, try to rub them together and SLOWLY pull the band through. It looks more magical. When I do it, it looks as if each strand is going through one at a time, try it, I'm sure you'll like it. Peace.

[agasuka]

It's magical.

[luvnikki1125]

lol~ did u film the video by placing ur video camera on a stand?? u should have me film it for u next time!! XD but i like the way u present ur magic in the videos.. =]

[cspotrn]

Haha. The level was fine on the ledge, but I had to hunch over for that last part. Too bad the camera was on autofocus, which caused the refocusing and blur. I just figured out how to manually set the focus so that it will stop doing that. So...look out for my third video!

[DMStv]

Make more videos please

[cspotrn]

Thanks for the compliment. I'm in the early stages of creating a video on Reset, Paul Harris' classic effect. Just a little more work on the mechanics and then gotta write the script for the patter. I'll keep you posted though! Thanks again.

[1995Magicien]

wow !!!! awesome seriously !

[Chaugar]

Again, your transitions are top notch. Even after learning the trick I have to watch yours several times to see where you made the switch. Very Nice!!

[cspotrn]

So how's your version going? Been practicing? When are we going to see your video!

[61862006]

cool!

[61862006]

This is the best vid of this trick I've seen.

[cspotrn]

Ben,

Thanks for the kind words. If you haven't already, be sure to check out Supersmooth's routine and my comments on it. Awesome stuff.

Cary

[Supersmooth007]

Thanks, I use size 19. Some good variations as well.
