Long as this little effect has been around, I'm somewhat surprised that noone's reviewed it! The trick was published in 1980, back when I didn't know who Paul Harris was. A dealer description of the effect compelled me to get it, and I'm not sorry that I did. I confess, I only do a few Paul Harris effects, and always appreciate his attention to minute details-as well as his understanding of visually deceptive 'shows'. This trick performs exactly the way the ad reads. When I first tried it, I was surprised at the illusion. The first phase shows the deck 'wrapped' by the band. You'll fool yourself, that's how convincing it looks. Turn the deck over, slowly remove a finger, and the band is gone-spread the cards, STILL gone. Then slide one card from out of the center of the deck, and it's the selection encircled by the band. What I love, is that two ordinary objects are used to perform this little miracle. The only care needed is having as rubber band which is the right circumference-and of a color that contrasts the deck. The second phase of the routine is the surprise kicker, although not quite as magical as the first, in my opinion. The end notes include a second handling, with an additional prover as a selected card goes into the deck. The trick can stand on it's own, or, be integrated with crazy man's handcuffs or Slydini's rubber bands. Correctly built up and performed, I think this effect can leave a very strong impression. Simple, but impossibly effective. Bare minimum of angle issues.
