The Rubber Band Card Trick is a very functional trick and is in fact an easy card trick, which will add to the list of tricks you can perform with a deck of cards, plus a rubber band.

It makes a chosen card escape from a deck of cards using a rubber band.

It is a brilliant trick to have within your repertoire of tricks you can use when performing table magic. It is all in the setup of the trick and the performance.

You will of course need to practice the technique thoroughly to get it spot on.. but once you do you will see it is a great opening to your show.  One way of perfecting your technique is to watch yourself perform in front of a mirror; this way you can pick up on any mistakes you may make whilst practicing.

This trick involves you making the card return to the top of the deck using a false under cut and then a crimp. The crimp is very important to most tricks.

You bend the card so it does not get attached with the rest of the deck when you bend the rubber band across the whole deck; this card gets left behind until you perform the second move which puts the rubber band into position.

Remember to watch the videos carefully to ensure you have the correct technique.
