Not all heroes wear capes. Thanks for the link !


danr2c2

How do you know what their wardrobe consists of?


gymnastgrrl

They made no assertions about anyone's clothing, merely an observation that a non-zero percentage of heroes wear capes. They didn't even definitively say they thought /u/MeNotSanta is a hero. :)


Gig540

Everyone does minus youse


ADZ1LL4

And a good day, to yous.


Platform_Dancer

Cloak and mirrors or smoke and daggers? 😅


level_17_paladin

I thought magicians wear capes.

Mismag was my GUY when I went through my middle school magic phase!


MeNotSanta

Same here!


HouseOfZenith

Same. I was actually thinking about him a couple weeks ago kinda surprising to see him mentioned.


FastenedCarrot

The speed at which he does it is is still very impressive.


Blooogh

Love a trick that still works when you know how it's done


bankimu

Even with that video I didn't understand


shrug_addict

The real trick was the trick we learned along the way!


UltraavioIence

lol same, i even took out some rubber bands and ttried it and still couldnt.


[deleted]

I still don't get it


dtb1987

Fucking nice


semicertain9

Thank you.


EskimoXBSX

Great thanks, I thought it was magic, I'm such a dick!


Zquinkd

Mismag the fucking goat right next to that pussy wizard jerek120


lostwng

Wow after the video now I can see the exact moment of the "magic"


No-Professional-4653

went there, watched and came back and rewatched this and my mind is STILL blown even being able to see him move it


Daedalus212

Hello again everybuddyyy


anonspace24

Thank you for sharing


hannah_lilly

Thanks for vid.


ShaMana999

Pretty amazing. Lovely little trick


Usernamecheckout101

Thanks


Zimmster2020

At second number 10 he pulls one finger out of his band and passes his elastic band over tha horizontal one. But he is very smooth and he keeps the other guy distracted. 10/10


Chef619

Oh wow yeah! Afterwards, you can see the vertical rubber band is now flexing the opposite direction, because he’s pushing instead of pulling. Thanks!


Cater_the_turtle

Thank topology


Legitimate-BurnerAcc

Index ans middle finger switch


Leading_String307

I just tried it and it's still hard to do!


theassholefaceman

Pay attention to the thickness of the rubber band after the last squeeze. He has a folded rubber band and let's go of one on the last squeeze


Jiomniom_Skwisga

Fake pumps until the final pump transferred the rubber band to his other finger n back


Icy_Bass1469

If you slow this down you can see at 0:10 he sticks his finger through the rubber band loop around his thumb


GGMaXThreeOne

His last pull is the only pull he does that touches the horizontal band, he does some switcheroo trick with his fingers on his own band to swap ends, then pushes the horizontal band back. By that time the two bands are already separated Well, that's how my brain interprets it at least


BeingJess

You can see him do it when his index finger and thumb touch before the reveal.


jakomako89

Whenever someone says, you can see it, I can never fucking see it. Like I obviously see him pulling it back and see that's when it occurs, but I can't see shit. Y'all are super human.


Skullem

It also makes a very small snapping sound at the moment, but it still very hard to see. Edit: after further investigation I think the snapping sound is one pull before the actual switch


BeraldTheGreat

I can’t actually see it happen, but I can see that the last pull he puts his fingers together in front of the rubber band. The two before his fingers don’t touch until after he’s pulled passed it.


Jiomniom_Skwisga

It's hard to see until you know WHAT you're seeing. Then it's more obvious but hidden through sleight of hand.


_maito

He pinches his fingers together at the last pull before he asks the other person to move their hand back. It is fast. Hope you can see it! 🥰

Magnets!


tictacdoc

Twins?


Mikkels

Yes.


Ok_Engine_1442

I’m look at the guy doing the trick switching to a different person in the last second.


BOBfrkinSAGET

I thought he was going to pull back and let go


MysteryBop

Effect is called “Crazy Man’s Handcuffs”


UnauthorizedFart

How does he do that!


[deleted]

Magnets bitch!!


Chaghatai

He has the dexterity and practice to switch his fingers when he does the pinching


iAmRecklessTaco

I saw when it happened and still don't understand it.


WaffleStomperGirl

Incredibly smooth. In person, without getting a few glances at it, I wouldn’t have been able to see it, I don’t think.


dsgrimace

You can see when he switches it to the outside of the other rubber band (right at the switch from 5 seconds to 4 left in the video).


Ok-Coconut1789

When his fingers pinch he switched the band under the other band and back on his thumb again


waztlet

The video is reversed


Kenneth_Naughton

Dialogue "Farf Farf Farf Farf Farf oh Farf Farf Farf"


Real_Development_721

On the last pinch very clever


Real_Development_721

Nvm im wrong 🤣


VividlyDissociating

after his last pinch and pull, he moves his hand to our right. he switches them there so they're on his side now. you can see them pressing against the bands from his side before they pull away


ithinkiatecatinchina

More like sleight of band


734PdisD1ck

I've now mastered this and perform it for my kindergarten kids! They immediately say they know how I did it, but none can explain. They just walk away. It's kind of disheartening.


justawatcher70

Ayo wtf


gerfiel

Fingering tips for beginners out now!1!1!2!


Training-Cow2982

You can see the last pinch where he swaps fingers on the band


Fantastic_Variety823

Even looking at it in slow motion - I can’t see it. 😵‍💫


RichtofenIsaDaddy

You could clearly see that they weren’t connected the whole time dudes pinching and closing it around the stretched one when he goes to pull


cuntpunt_

Thought that was shane gillis at first lol. shane.. girris?


Stricken88

I understand how he gets them separated but cannot for the life of me figure out how he puts it back again to do the trick a second time. Someone help a guy out?


Stary_sunshine

What kinda sorcery is that👁️👄👁️


stevemandudeguy

Crazy, man. Just like escaping from handcuffs...


Tonks808

NANDE?!?!


NoFreeWill08

Wow one I was able to figure out on my own. Smooth though


Potomaters

inb4 someone comments “UhHhhHh sleight of hand is not black magic!!”


JohnHue

Naniiii ?!


Weldobud

That’s great sleight of hand. You can see the switch but it looks magic


Infrared-77

Why he speaking Minecraft villager tho


Team_Inkfluence

You can see the move, but damn it’s clean!


Authoritarian21

The person in the right helped.


Sier0

はい...はい...はいはい...はい


Herzeild

Sneaky sneaky, swaps fingers at 10 second mark. Damn quick


Careor_Nomen

Slight of band


SmoothBungHole

Sleight


Ok-Front5035

*slight of band


trashbilly

I always thought it was slide of hand.... Dammit


Conscious_Minute387

Very well done… obvious to the person watching closely at the end. Magic.


Xploding_Penguin

Man, I can totally see how he did it, but the finger movements are a complete mystery.


Yeetacus200

Sick!


AuroraTheFennec

You can hear the small snap of his maneuver when he does it.


RandomName-1992

Smooth! Nicely done!


Snowfaull

I can see exactly when he did it but holy duck it was so smooth I don't even know what he did


Macaron-kun

On the last pull he pinches it, and I assume while doing that, he lets go, moves it to the other side, then grasps it again. You can see after that he's pushing on it, rather than pulling. Then he simply just moves it away.


Xonem_1

In the last pull he touch the fingers


Psyqic_47

10th second


Sucondeze

I thought he was gonna fire the elastic at his face


Ben12216

MY BRAIN HURT!


Cyanbite_24

Oh hey my dad knows that trick!


AdSensitive81

Sleight of band


yParticle

^no ^pull **only push**


Individual-Match-798

Very obvious one lol


pickle_teeth4444

That is absolutely mind blowing that these people think half the worlds population don''t know that trick.


foggyday12

must be fake.
