Hello fellows!

I have a technical question on how to link two rubber bands. No, I'm not asking you to tell me how to perform a trick. I just need to come up with something smarter than cutting one rubber band and then gluing it back togather to form a chaine with another. How do professionals do it? Is it possible to make the whole thing examinable?

THanks,

Alex

Daniel Garcia has a method that looks good on Garcia Projects #1. They link and then unlink. It's not examinable, though.

Check out the Flinking Fingers dvd. They have a preety neat method to link them. I dont think the dvd is worth the money for one effect though unless your interested in the other effects on the dvd. I highly recommend it though because all the effects are awsome.

I don't need a routine, and I don't need to know how to move my hands while doing the trick.

I want to make a gimiked rubber bands that are already linked in a chain. Is there any way to do this?

Pinnacle by Russ Niedzwiecki teaches you how and so does the flicking finger dvd I mentioned, they also happen to have routines with it. Elandish also mentioned Daniel Garcia's method. You also seem to already know a method which I think is great but you seem to look at it as a dumb method. I don't know of any more ways to accomplish such a task but Im possitive I answered your question.

nano, simply doing crazy mans handcuffs does not provide him with the effect that he wants does it now. Although they both involve bands they do not provide the same effect. Think of it in a more bland way. The effect he wants is a linking rings routine and your telling him to get a ring on rope routine. You know what I mean.
