Am I the only one who is having problems with quality of the bands? I had two break straight away. One after pre-stretching and one without. It appears the "link" is very weak upon my inspection of all of the bands.

I don't own the bands, but I do no that bands become brittle with time.
I always keep mine in the refrigerator.....

I am aware of this but the are brand new, in plastic bags with rosin and they saw no heat whatsoever.

If you saw the "linked" band you would see that right off the bat their is a "stress point" in one of the two linked bands (the one they used to link the two together)of every pair.

Dissappointing.

Bungee I do not like the effect either... I believe when the bands are handed out the secret can easly be discovered . I would never purchase this or use it

This is such a shame as I was so looking forward to this. The effect is great but such poor quality.

I am a huge Paul Harris fan and I hate to see him stamping his name on something such low quality.
