I love those rings. I really doubt that other more expensive rings are really better than this. This
is a perfect buy, and a bargain, and I'm really happy to have them.
My rings came without
the instruction video, but I wrote penguin, and they send me a link to the video. Just remember to
ask if they don't send it :)
I'm really happy!

I really love these rings. I actually wanted them in gold (this is for the Space Grey) but they were
sold out at the time, and to be honest, I fell in love with this color after I bought them. The set
includes a key ring, a single ring, and two linked rings. For a complete set it might have needed to
also include a set of 3 linked.
The included video has some instruction. I have never done
the rings before and wanted to get into it. On that note, I feel like the video was lacking for me.
There is no talking, just background music. The magician basically just does the whole routine at
full speed, then breaks down the individual parts by doing them slowly and repeatedly. I needed more
help than this. I found that the video from Daryl was really good (Essential in Magic: Linking
Rings), but some of the moves taught there are difficult and/or don't apply to close up rings.
Anyway, good product, poor instruction in my opinion.

This is a very nice set. I really love the color and size. The price is right too!

These couldn't be better quality, and for a magic item, underpriced.
It's like they are
powder coated. Which is 1. why they have 3 gorgeous colors, 2. makes the welding completely
invisible, and 3. the gap is rounded almost like beveled from the power coating.
I don't
know how they are so cheap, maybe because...
1. You're not getting 8 rings, these are just for a
4 ring routine
2. Maybe smaller? These are 4 inches while Shoots Ninja Rings are 4 and a half
inches for example.
3. No instructions, video, or name association like "shoot".
Don't worry about no instructions. Watch some videos online for inspiration, make up your own
routine, make up the methods, and trust me, you'll be doing it right, and you'll be more proud of
it.
And the smaller the better for me. They fit in my back pocket. I work with 12 inch
rings on stage, which is huge, the point of close up is to be portable.
I looked it up:
"In the May 2016 issue of Genii magazine, Maven penned a seminal article about a rare Japanese book
called Hokasen that featured a routine called “The Iron Rings”. As this text was published in 1764,
it is widely believed to be the earliest known written explanation of the linking rings. Maven also
goes on to explain why the Japanese dubbed the rings as “Chinese”." History of Linking Rings:

You can't beat these rings for the price, they are beautiful. Well made, nice and heavy.
Everyone listen up! Stop reading these reviews and add these to your cart! I'm serious, These are
probably going to go out of stock soon, so just buy 'em. They're very underpriced, are AMAZING
QUALITY and are great if you are already familiar w/ the linking rings and some routines.
You
will NOT regret buying these!
P.S. Instructions not included.
P.P.S. The linking rings
originated in Europe---look it up.😉
