I love the CMH effect itself, but I want to be able to actually link the two bands with similar effectiveness.

First, has this been done before? I'm assuming it's not because everyone and their neighbor's Greyhound performs this effect, and no one ever mentions the reversal.

Can someone provide sources or am I going to have to invent this myself?

Jim

Yes Jim, there is a way to put them together too. It's called Mark Fitzgerald's Back Two-Gether and its explained on Dan Harlan's Rubberband Video
Vol # 1.

I'm just curious if that is the same way as Jon Allen's on, Spectator's Don't Exist? Are they the same method or no?

That, I'm not sure about Decker.

Slydini's 'Linking Rubber Band Mystery' routine booklet, has a good method of doing this. It also has some really nice other bits and pieces.

Oli

Excellent! Thanks for all the replies! Are all of these as visual as the unlinking phase?

When Mark does it it is as visual. It is a move that will take a lot of practice to get the link as smooth as the unlink.

Time is all I have, Jeff.

Thanks for all the information!

I have the CMH and perform it. I would realy like to see a video of it performed so I could be sure I am geting the most out of it. Is there a video out there.

Yes, Eric,

The video series is Dan Harlan's "Magic With Rubberbands", Vol's 1-3

Everything you'll ever want to know (and some you don't) about rubberband magic.

Oli, I don't remember the booklet by Slydini, it that still available?

Magically,

Doug
