I’ve always wanted to learn a version of ring flight, but always avoided purchasing it because of
the possibility of damaging the spectator’s ring. This version totally eliminates that worry.
The master grip move is a fantastic move and is great for a jaw dropping opening effect; it
really gets spectators’ attention. The reactions are always of extreme amazement once they realize
what has happened. I usually get this reaction at the climax of the trick, not at the beginning of
the routine! The other rope effects are a great part of the DVD. I use a modified version of
presentation #3, with the bonus move. This equates to about 3 minutes of high quality, dynamic, and
visually appealing close-up magic. Professional quality prestidigitation, as the routine literally
goes full circle ending with the ring back on the Key Ring.
I would recommend practicing with
several different sizes/gender of rings. I use an inexpensive small woman’s diamond engagement style
ring and a man’s larger wedding band I purchased on ebay. The manipulation of these is much
different, especially when performing the additional rope routines. While performing Earl Nelson’s
move and the Master Grip move, I noticed larger smooth men’s wedding bands are sometimes hard to
grip. For me, it happens when my hands get dry. I’ve also noticed when the string becomes a bit
frayed; some light, smaller women’s rings may stick to these frayed threads.
The DVD is
visually slick, well produced, relatively clear, concise, and very informative. It made learning the
sleights and the routines easy. The only slight critique would be that the audio is a little low for
the explanations chapters.
I’ve been practicing and performing Pro-Flite for few months now and
it has become my favorite trick for walk-around magic.
Great routines!
