This is an amazing rubber band transposition were two bands in different positions change places. The switching of the bands is amazingly visual and can be instantly repeated over and over.
The Gift by Joe Rindfleisch

The Gift is a four phase routine which starts by taking two rubber bands and instantly causing one of them to wrap itself around the other in the form of a bow. The bow then magically travels up and down a rubber ladder. The final two phases allow you to magically take the bow on and off the band. You then leave them with this wonderful souvenir as a gift to remember you by.
This lecture will give you a strong foundation, and if you just want to dabble in rubber band magic that’s all you need.
