He uses his right hand to snap the elastic, proving that it is tightly in position. Bending his fingers inward, the magician lets everyone see the elastic about the first two fingers. Magically, the rubber band jumps to the last two fingers of the hand. This trick is very decepUve. The actual trickery begins when the magician snaps the elastic with his right hand. Holding the palm of his hand toward himself, he draws out the rubber band; then bending his fingers, inserts all of them into the loop thus formed. Turning his hand so only the back is seen, the magician shows the elastic apparently on the first two fingers only. A quick extension of the fingers; the rubber band jumps. WNU Servk.
