Boomerang Band: How to flick a rubberband onto the floor and make it roll back to you. I remember seeing Ali Bongo do this on the Paul Daniels show, and it looked really cool, will have to see if it works.
Harvey Rosenthal’s Movie Theater: RealPlayer movies of Harvey Rosenthal’s closeup magic with cards, coins, and other objects. 14 Realplayer movies (more to come) of Harvey’s incredible magic.

I just hope I can inspire to be half as good as Harvey anywhere in the next few decades… (Thanks to Joe Pecore for the link).
