A white rubber band breaks. You tie it together with a knot. It links with a black rubber band, unlinks, then links again - and the two linked bands are a gift for the spectators to keep as a souvenir. But only after you remove the knot from the white band! A totally new approach to rubber band magic. |

In Ebony & Ivory you use a black and a white rubber band.
They are specially trained.
They stretch.
Oops!
It is broken!
The white band breaks "by mistake" and you OR the spectator ties a knot in it.
As good as new.
Flex the bands between your hands...
Twist your hands to show how the white band is always on top...
...no matter which way you turn them. (small gag)
Then the spectator helps you to link the bands by pinching them together. Now the bands really are linked!
Flick the stretched white band with your thumb and show how the black bands jumps around on it.
Truly linked! No double bands.
Stretch them.
Proceed to slowly and very visibly pull the black rubber band right through the knot on the white band! 
This is what you see, they melt right through each other. No double bands.
Spread your fingers to show they have passed thrue each other.
Confess that the white band did not break by mistake, but it was just an excuse to make a magic knot.
Now the audience will think that the trick has come to an end as you are getting ready to put the bands away.
Show again, casually, how easy it is to link the bands when you have a magic knot.
Ask the spectator if he would like to have the linked bands as a souvenir.
But as he is about to take them, you say:...
"If you show these to your friends, they will only say that you have tied them together - this is what we will do"
So you pinch the knot on the white band...
and PULL IT RIGHT OFF!
Now hand them out.
