Magic Tricks

If you've been thinking about adding the linking finger rings to your act, David Regal's beautiful set of rings should give you the confidence. Yes, $250 is a chunk of change, but compared to other gaffed rings I've seen, David's set is a smart investment. Keep in mind that you only use one ring in performance, but he provides three if you want to create other routines. I would have liked to see other handlings with the other rings on the dvd, but this is a nit pick. David does a nice job on the dvd of walking you through his routine (which is also shown as a live Magic Castle performance) and provides several important subtleties. The important thing is, David has done a great job with the rings (excellent quality) and has created a routine that eliminates the fiddling that makes most linking finger ring routines look suspect or at the least, inelegant. I will probably use David's Himber version ring most often, as I like the security of a locking ring and my routine is done in a spectator's hand. That said, the other gaffed ring he provides is fantastic and makes the handling super simple, provided you keep the rings in your hands. I recommend you display the rings using a pencil (which David provides) or other wooden prop (chop sticks work well or even a magic wand). The visual ring off is a little knacky but really beautiful and well worth the effort. If you haven't made an investment in other gaffed rings yet, invest in this set - you will PERFORM this and not just add it to your collection of "cool things that I'll never use." As David says on the video, "The linking finger rings is an effect I'll do for the rest of my life." You should too.
