I love how Brian isn't riding something sensible like a bull or a horse. It's a frickin' armadillo looking thing.
I tried to learn this as a kid from a Michael Ammar book PREyoutube era. Never got it. You kids and your youtube, you have no idea how good you got it
I loved how slow copperfield did it. The time delay made it seem like they were slowly melting through. Most people do this so fast.
agreed!
Michael would be proud of they way you taught this! I've been doing this for years and it has never failed me. I never knew Michael was involved with this I always gave credit to David Copperfield so it is nice to correct that part of the trick. Thanks for the knowledge!
Thank you for hunting down the history. I actually learned this from watching my dad repeating the trick after we watched the Copperfield special. He had me on his lap while he was showing other people, not at all trying to teach me. It's the first trick I ever figured out on my own, and even with knowing how it works, it still looks real. Thanks again.
Now I need to find some rubber bands...
Used to have them everywhere! Now when you need one..
A
Keya Kinan Staples sells size 19 rubber bands in one-pound bags. Those are good for this effect.
I am honestly listening to this while doing Khan Academy for school.
Sal is a hero. Unlike teachers who just speak to you like you're expected to know it already. He teaches it in laymen terms. Khan is a damn good program.
I love that "Pretty good at drinking beer" is playing in the background on the first half of the video.
My best friend, when I first started learning magic, told me that his grandfather used to do a trick where he'd unlink linked rubber bands like this, and I found one that had a similar method but didn't include anything for provers or misdirection, and with these moves I am sure I can make it look good and do his granddad proud.
Best tutorial on TH-cam of this effect most likely. Brushwood, thanks for doing it justice.
Thanks, man. I called Michael Ammar and told him I was aiming for just that.
This is one of my favorite rubber band tricks because it seams so fair the way you show it.
1D on TH-cam ? IT S A REVOLUTION !! Scam School you re genius ! thanks you changed my life.
this is the trick why i became crazy about magic, as a little boy from 6 years old. I've seen it so many times, and it stays one of the most powerful tricks to do.
So happy you teach it on a different way than I learned it!
*To make them “melt” before showing they are separated push them together slightly. If you do it right it looks like your pulling slowly*
This ten-year tutorial post is the best!
Thank you Brian, an excellent video! I was so fortunate to learn this directly from Michael at a special work shop following a lecture at Gary Darwin's magic club while I was working as a dealer in Las Vegas...that's dice dealer, just to clear things up a bit! Along with Ring Bandit, which he also taught at the same work shop, I have performed this more than any other slight in my 60 years of performing. Michael is one of the most prolific magi of this era and many past...Once again, thank you for this homage to the Master...All the Best!
This is best thing I've seen on Scam School for months! I fucking love Michael Ammar. Well done.
OMFG!!!!!!!!! BRIAN!!!!!! This is the only tutorial that I have seen that made sense and worked!!! The towards the face and taffy things helped. Thank you so much!!!
Trixter 0687 fantastic! Thanks so much, man! Glad it worked for you.
Wow, just found this video and it’s awesome! Thanks for another sweet skill! And thanks to Michael Ammar!
Brian! This was awesome, so great to see credit given where it's due! Ammar is the man! Also, I don't remember who created this subtlety, but you can demonstrate a really cool illusion after the move, where it looks as if you pluck out the rubber band one side at a time (totaling four) and it's visually pretty darn sweet. All best dude!
Incredible trick, simple yet powerful. Love it. This is now in my arsenal of magic
I saw that same special. And thank you for giving us all the back story and giving the proper credit.
Thank you, Scam School!! I showed this trick to my friends and they were... speechless... Very cool trick and I just practiced it for one week!! Also thank you to Michael Ammar!

I love Michael’s effect and bought this effect from Merlin’s Magic Mansion in the 1980’s. I so hope to meet Mr. Ammar in person someday soon to thank him in person. Great video Bruce!
I like how Brian replys. I guss he really likes his subscribers
Pretty cool tutorial and thanks for telling me who is kind of the creator of this, I never thought it was Michael ammar

Learned long time ago, but this still helped make it easier...thanks brown
Its been so long since I've done this trick that Id actually forgot how to do it properly. Thanks for reminding me, Brian!
Thanks to Micheal Ammar and YOU for this awesome trick! I'm a mini-magician(trickster) because of you! Thanks a lot!
You got it!
Scam School Nice video! Whenever I do the secret move on putting my finger in the loop with the thumb and letting go with the middle finger, it makes a snapping noise and gives away the whole trick. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Awesome trick
I just got it and amazed a few of my friends !! :D
Thank u!
I Bet that Scam School is one of the best channels of youtube! ;)

That's absolutely awesome I think outta everything I'm subscribed to scam school is my fav
RAY: A line which starts at a point with given coordinates, and goes off in a particular direction to infinity, possibly through a second point
I found some rubber bands in my desk, so practiced while I watched this video. I was able to fool my kid, but need to find thinner rubber bands and practice more before trying this on an adult.
coolest one I've seen thnx
"Wait, is he alive?!"
"Haha, yes, I talked to him on the phone!"
Very Good teaching skills.
Love the new Outro!
Cool ideas
That excitement ate beginning though
awesome
This works great :D. I'm meeting some family tomorrow, definitely going to use this.
This chanel is fun and the best magican or one of the best out there cause is fun and friendly
I don't think I'm wrong to claim, that Brian Brushwood is the most awesome texan of the 21 century...
Pretty sure this is the best reply I've ever gotten.
god dang this is a GREAT effect
right??
Scam School I just watched fool us and saw mr. Scam school himself, it was great, I like how u have ur own spin on everything to take it up a notch and that Lil bit matters and I think it shows in the quality, keep it up
+Pyro Sandwich thanks man. Glad you like it.
one of the best tricks ever!!! I got it in like ten minutes :D
Whoops Brian. Great video sir.
"It doesn't penetrate" "It feels really good" BRIAN WHAT IS THIS SHOW?!
NO COMMENT.
Such an amazing and legendary trick, but soooo easy.
In what way?
I did it, it literally took me seconds that AWESOME!!!
A magician friend of mine showed me this, but wouldn't tell me how to do it. Took me months to figure out. Still my favorite trick. I also do it with 1 rubber band and a wedding ring for variety, but there is no "melt" effect that way.
i got it in 30 seconds and my family was all like"OMG.HOW DID U DO THAT.WATS THE SECRET MOVE.I NEED 2 KNOW NOW!!!"Im glad u made this video.if this video wasnt made i wouldnt make my family go crazy.thx
P.S.: you always make my day with these videos :)
I did it , it literally took me seconds that's AWESOME!!!
I love how pretty good at drinking beer is playing in the background 😂
Amazing episode :)
Glad you dug it.
Michael Ammar's egg and hole routine is one of my all time favourite.
sir, there is a follow up for that trick, i always do it, if your using same color rubberband, after doing crazy man's handcuffs, hide 1 piece of rubber band, then fold the remaining rband to a position where it looks exactly like using 2 rbands,to make specs think your doing the same thing. then, stretch it like normal, but the ending, you'll squeeze it and reveal to them 1 rband disappeared. wanted to make a vid, but idk how to comment vid :D
He was hammered
The BEST intro ever. "Con Academy"
The domain "Con-Academy.com" is even available on domain.com!
Joseph duino buy! buy! buy!! (and use promo code "scamschool")
Scam School Lol I am broke. Why else would I watch you guys.
"This is the secret move"..."But this is the SUPER secret move"..."and this is the MOST IMPORTANT PART". lul.
guilty as charged.
I love it though. ^_^
The intro made me die of laughter :D
Hahaha i did this to my coworker today and he got mad at me and told my boss to make me show him lolol
That's so awesome to hear!
That intro>>> xD
Thank you Scam School. Thank you michael Ammar. Thank you Brushwood! :D

Man, you are the best......................
who else heard the subaru flat four exhaust in the beggining? ;)
you're not a dork. we must be right around the same age. I taped the special too haha
WOOHOO!! DORK HIGH FIVE! :-D
i became crazy just by watching this
Cool
How to disturb reality does credit him Brian but still I love scam school
one of my favorite tricks, its one almost anyone can do.
you can put the elastic of your inactive hand around the active hand's one and it works too. (if you did it right it'll look like a giant ****)
Maybe I watch too many of your videos but I saw where the "secret move" was during the intro lol
The first time I learned the effect it was before Copperfield performed it on tv. But the old version wasn't as good because at the end the band switched to the middle finger.
