Big League Bands by Buck Bowen
A Thoughtful Approach to Rubber Band Magic
Big League Bands is more than a series of rubber band effects – it’s a structured, story-rich routine that turns a simple prop into a shared moment.
You begin by casually pulling out a pouch of Big League Chew – not to eat, not to perform with, but to spark a memory, earn a grin, and bring out something far more unexpected: a handful of vibrant pink rubber bands.
What follows is a multi-phase routine where the scripting matters just as much as the sleight of hand. The included patter weaves in moments of genuine philosophy with lighthearted humor, including a few playful turns of phrase – all written to support interaction, connection, and pacing that feels real.
This is magic built for close-up, intimate settings, and for magicians who value storytelling as much as technique – inviting the spectator to be part of the moment, not just a witness to it.
