Transit

(Based on 2 reviews)
The rubberband is ungimmicked - and can even be borrowed. The rubberband is doubled over again and again, securing it in a manner that is clear and fair. With no strange moves, you begin waving your hand gently. As you wave, the rubberband visibly JUMPS to your second finger.
It continues to JUMP from one finger to another - to another.
It finally travels back across your fingers to where it started. The rubberband is slowly massaged with two fingers of your opposite hand. When your hand is pulled away, the rubberband VANISHES - only to emerge in a surprise, shocking finale on the THUMB of your other hand.
NOTE: TRANSIT requires some common household materials that should be easily available. An ample supply of these materials (rubberbands, etc) is included with the DVD.

I agree with the description and review, but do not think it warrants 5 stars. Why? Because this is a one trick pony. It does one thing, plays small, and has no other use. It also involves some awkward angles.
Nothing wrong with spending your money on this, but other purchases have many more uses.

PROS
This is an excellent rubber band routine. The DVD explanation is very good, to the point and brief. You get everything you need to perform the effect.
The handling is well thought out.
While he doesn’t teach any other rubber band effects, the routine handling starts with the examination of a rubber band, and ends with the examination of the rubber band. There is also a very natural segue to another rubber band routine where you end clean
Obviously, it is easy to carry around and perfect for street magic, strolling, or close up.
The effect uses a regular rubber band and a gimmick. Your gimmick should last a very long time, and Calen teaches you how to make the gimmick, so you can make additional gimmicks should you lose one.
CONS
The routine will take a bit of practice, but it is within reach of any beginner magician who is willing to put in a bit of practice.
VERDICT
Excellent effect, routine, props, and instruction.
