Rubber band magic is a simple but impressive form of magic that can be performed with a few rubber bands. It's a little bit harder than traditional magic tricks because it puts more demand on your fingers. In order to be a successful rubber band magician, you have to have great control of your fingers. If you have weak or flimsy fingers, it will be really difficult for you to impress anybody with your rubber band magic. Once your fingers are strong, you can start looking at rubber band tricks and learn how to do them.

Finger Exercises

Without exceptional finger control, you won't be able to perform any complex rubber band tricks. You'll be limited to moving the rubber bands around your fingers slowly and won't really impress anyone. There are several different finger exercises you can do to increase your finger independence. You don't have to master finger independence exercises before you start doing rubber band exercises, but it will definitely make you a better rubber band magician.

Practice Makes Perfect

Be patient and get them down perfectly before you try to perform them for an audience.
