The trick works much better by ditching the fused set of rings and substituting another set of
linking rings. The audience eyes seeem to be fixed on the magicians assistants here and not the
magician. The linked rings allow the assistants to fiddle more trying to seperate the rings whilst
the magician just waits before seperating his leaving the assistants still thinking there must be a
way to seperate the rings. The fused set of rings lacks assistant and audience interest quickly.
