LINX by Alex Pandrea

this is insane. and it's difficulty is easy.
it's super visual.

YouTube - LINX by Alex Pandrea - theory11

With just a pinch from the spectator's fingers, two rubberbands visually LINK together. The spectator can feel it happen. You then unlink them together in a clean, simple, fair conclusion. Alex Pandrea presents his simple, original, and highly visual three phase linking rubberband routine.

I love it ! great effect with rubberbands, and it's cool that the magic happens in the spectator hands.

[[RH]magician]

yes. and I love theory11's artists. they don't mind joking around sometimes, even on their dvd's and it's quite fun when you're so serious practicing then they suddenly do something funny, and They always do funny faces. xD.

First part looks an awful lot like Daniel Garcia's "Slink"

Yep. It looks the same. but Linx is three phase so I think links is still better, but mixing it with slink(if it doesnt use the same method) would make it a four phase, which is obviously better than a three phase. haha

[CutNstuf]

I'm just saying that I think the first phase is the same as Garcia's effect.

It's amazing how two people can predict the past and create a sequence that came out of book from 1987. Slink and the first part of Linx can be found in When Creators Collide by Jay Sankey and Richard Sanders under Impromptu Link.

Garcia is notorious for regurgitating forgotten routines and simply putting a knit cap and a lot of jewelry on it.

He wouldn't be the first and he probably won't be the last. You can bet your paycheck that lots of "new" effects come out of Tarbell and such.

I heard the angles were bad..


just what i heard

[alexamsel]

That really does look a lot like DG's slink. And the last one has an air from Crazy Man's Handcuffs? Couldn't really see due to his hands moving in and out of the camera, but if so, the 3 phase routine is really a 1 phaser right? Only the middle link is his, unless it already is somewhere out there and I just haven't ran across it yet.

that would be cool if you want electric touch go to learnmagic.org go to forum and type it in they have a tutorial for like 30$

Not bad! It does look a bit like sink as Cut said, which in turn is a take on everything else. Post-modernism strikes again!

I'm not big on rubber band magic, but if it is all copied and such, I may just learn some basic stuff and re-brand it!
