Twenty-four animal silicone bands to a box. Twelve pastel translucent ones. Twelve mostly-bright opaque ones. Each about two inches at most.

"And why does the rubber band jump from finger to finger? Because it's a kangaroo!" "Well, maybe that's stretching it." Other lines?

Obviously a great cute prop for kids, but an adult to whom I showed it was also charmed. "Aaah"-factor: ten.

Now to find some ordinary round duplicates.

Anthony, Part of my `rubber band' routine is the rubber band jumping from two fingers to the other two on the same hand. Then I put a band of each set of two fingers and have them jump past each other .. then do the last one again and this time have a third rubber band in front of the other two, insuring the bands can't escape... yet, somehow they do.. It's a really simple trick but always gets the crowd.

I also use the `star rubber bands' for the one handed star. Once the star is made on my finger tips, I then `make' the star hold it's shape. I usually give the star away if a party, program etc.

Both are simple but works easy.. I always have a bunch of `bands' with me for a quick little show...

I have been thinking about the `animal bands'. Gosh, there's lots you can do there..

Good place to get the `star rubber bands' and good `easy to see bands is http://www.ring170.homestead.com/Rubberband.html
