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:
