BANDIT by Darryl Davis & Daryl Williams (a.k.a. The Other Brothers) (Instant Download)

The most astonishing magic occurs not in your hands, but in those of your spectators. While sleight-of-hand is a hallmark of magic, true astonishment happens when the magic unfolds right before the eyes of your audience.

BANDIT delivers this experience by creating moments that leave spectators in disbelief. Here’s how the performance unfolds:

1. You begin by clearly showing two rubber bands, placing one securely in your spectator’s hand. They can see it until the very last moment when they close their hand.
2. You then make the second rubber band vanish in the most astonishing manner. It disappears from your hand, leaving no trace behind. Both hands are shown empty, with nothing to be found.
3. When your spectator opens their hand, they are shocked to find the second rubber band has reappeared alongside the first one.
4. At this point, they are likely to freak out in amazement. (This reaction is almost guaranteed!)

For Beginners: If this is your first time performing a trick like this, brace yourself for some of the most incredible reactions you’ll ever witness.

For Advanced Magicians: If you’re familiar with the classic sponge ball trick, you’ll appreciate the powerful premise behind BANDIT. The methods for loading and vanishing the bands are entirely unique, leveraging the inherent properties of rubber bands. Unlike sponge balls, which can raise suspicion, rubber bands are common and draw attention to the magic itself.

Final Notes:

• Upon downloading, you’ll receive comprehensive instruction from Daryl Williams and Darryl Davis, along with TWO DISTINCT vanishes. When combined with the original two-phase routine, you effectively have four tricks for the price of one.
• This trick requires no special sleeves or gimmicked rubber bands. Standard rubber bands and short sleeves are all you need to create mind-blowing magic.
