The Classic Snap
Let's start with something as elementary as your old school tie, *the Classic Snap*. This trick needs nothing but a rubber band and your fingers.

The Switching Band Trick
If you can switch lanes in a London traffic jam, you can master this. Loop two rubber bands between fingers, then seemingly teleport one from index to pinky. It's craftier than your nan's best bake and requires just the right amount of misdirection to make jaws drop.

Want to bend reality (and not just the truth about why you're late)? *The Penetrating Bands* is your ticket. Stretch two bands between fingers and magically merge them, proving once and for all that bands refuse to conform — just like your favourite rebellious teenager.
