Hey everybody, I just ordered pinnacle and I was wondering if it will work as good with just any rubberband cause I have a whole bag of #19 bands. The bands Russ sells are a little high for a small bag of bands. Thanks

As long as they stretch to a certain extent between your index finger and thumb, the should work perfectly...And they obviously can't be fat/wide.

I bought pinnacle about a year ago along with the rubber bands. The routine didn't work for me but I really like the rubber bands. A package lasts a long time.

I have yet to buy the special rubberbands from Russ. Someday I will. But for now, the rubberbands from your local office supply store should work just fine. I use #19 and have a lot of fun doing the routine. Plus, for about 5 dollars, you get a bag of at least 1000 bands.

I have yet to buy the #19 rubberbands as well. It's definitely much easier to do Pinnacle using the 19s, but just about any rubberband has worked fine for me. The only ones I can't see it working on are the really tiny ones sometimes used for braces, or ones that are way too stretchy and long. I find that using smaller rubberbands than 19 require a bit more finger strength and do not slide as well, but I'm still able to perform the effect.

The high quality 100% rubber, Rubber-Bands to get are:
#18 or #19 ALLIANCE GOLD PALE CREPE 1 LB. Boxes of these can be ordered from OFFICE MAX for about $5.00 ( they do NOT carry these in their retail stores ),,,only by mail order on their web site. The only problem I have with these is they are very light in color and against my skin not all that easy for the spectators to see the effect. I wish these came in colors. |

Great effect, but I enjoy watching more than performing it. Russ is great though.

ITS NOT THE BANDS ITS THE MAGICIANS HANDS ,But seriously if you use a oversized ring the effect is then very easy to do.

Vinny, technically your are right, but I do a lot of rubber band stuff and personally like the feel of the very streachey bands much more than the standard #19s you get at the local stationary store.
Magic Man thanks for the info. I'll order some the next time I'm at Office Max |

Thanks for the demo's Vinny. They look good, and would be a good addition to a rubber band routine.

Yes a bigger ring hole helps in pinnacle.
How much does it cost to get rubberbands from Russ? |
Alchimest Regular user Alchimest 133 Posts |
I just picked up the rubber bands at Office Max noted in Magic Man's post. They are the exact same band that Russ sells for a fraction of the cost.

Is the DVD any good? I've been doing magic with rubber bands for a while. Does Pinnacle offer anything new?
