Classic linking rings in depth
A class by Vice-Worldchampion Parlour Magic Axel Hecklau.

There are many books and videos about the linking rings. But they describe the moves only. To get a deep understanding for this gem it is necessary to think about many theoretical aspects as well.

These thoughts are crucial if you like to develop and understand a successful routine.
In this Masterclass we will discuss and analyze different routines and get a deep view on this still actual classic in magic.

On top of that you will learn the silent links and unlinks developed by Axel Hecklau and why "silent" increases the effect dramatically.

You will also learn Axels full 7 Ring routine.

Push this universal piece of magic to the next level.
