im trying to thing of a way i can make the Gecko gimmick (the part thats in your hand) and the best i came up with is to punch a whole into a guitar pick and attach the pull to it, then put the sticky dots on it and classic palm it. any better ideas? and thanks for the upload btw.

see i've played with idea's like that and the only practical way is just to add fishing string and hold it with your middle finger like the raven. ... but the guitar pick doesn't have enough mass... its too flimsy. try it and you'll see wha i mean.
but if you do get it to work. let me know.

it worked for me, i just used a thicker pick, like 1.5mm-2mm instead of the usual .75mm.

i got some with Abyss CIB so ive never bought them, i think you cant buy them at office supply stores they're called glue adhesives. EDIT: nevermind there just called glue dots.

I've made mine and it work really good ! :)

One rubberband linked to the pant by a keyring, "clipped" inside the jacket by a safety pin, attached to a paperclip attached to a "gecko" made of paperboard. I've put Double-sided tape on the "gecko"

It works. Do someone have the actual gimmick? Does the trick works exactly like in the video? Like with a empty can or botle, etc...
Cause it looks to me that when the elastic goes off there will be a sound or something... Of course in the video we don't hear anything but that could be edited... If it's really like in the video, then it's an exelent trick!

Again, thanks a lot Junyert, and I understand why you're so disappointed with Gecko. I was like... "wtf?!" It's just a slight modification of the pull. :(
