When I was a woodwork teacher I had a class make the snapper before I realise that it could be used as a magic trick, it was in a book of wooden puzzles. Even when they had made the snapper themselves, one or two in the class still tried to hook the plunger onto the elastic band. I now use mine in a Monte routine to make it more of a close up trick. How do you use yours?

First time I saw it I was an adult & was shown to me by my friend who had a wooden one. Fooled me I think because I really believed his story about hooking the rubber band that was barely peeking out of the bottom of the plug, the way he twisted the cap trying to catch the R. B. on the hook and his PRESENTATION.
Shows to go you anyone can be fooled bye the simplest of props if the presentation is right! Have fun, John
Nothing is better than more.

My father in law made me several in wood years ago. I dug these out a couple weeks ago and have had great fun. Had guests from China with limited English (I have no Mandarin) that laughed over this for half an hour. I owe the originator.

Anyone know a good source to buy these in bulk, thanks.

Looking for directions for the snapper 2000. I got this at a garage sale. It has an extra piece.
Thanks Steve

I loved the plastic snapper from my childhood. If anyone finds a good bulk option, as George has requested, I would love to learn of it as well.

The wholesaler E-Z Magic/Robbins (https://www.ezmagicrobbins.com/) sells a version of the Snapper (Snapper Puzzle (FT) - Pack of 144) for under a dollar each, where you buy 144 pieces. I used to have it. It's not the prettiest version, but it works good. However, as with other versions, you should be careful that the spectator doesn't pull out the rubber band.

The Snapper was one of the first tricks/puzzles I ever bought. Loved it then and still love it now. Lots of fun to do and a real fooler.
I have seen quite a few versions made of plastic, metal, and wood. Some large and some small. I even saw a tiny plastic one. I find that the traditional plastic one still being sold for cheap works as good or better than any others. Certainly a classic of magic and devilishly clever! |
