So anyway people have been calling this "silent". The first time I tried it I heard a distinct metallic rattling sound. "Was that my keys doing?", that I though. Seperating the keys from the gimmick, I tried it again. RATTLE.

Turns out the problem is the actual metal latch that connects to the ring/key/whatever. I have tried silencing the metal, which works all for everything except the moving parts and after it looking mutilated from its origional, it still rattled.

The pulling mechanism also fails sometimes. What I mean is it will only partially pull to a point or it drags slowly, not the SNAP you need for a clean vanish.

The idea turns out to be great, but the mechanics are flawed. Perform only in an an environment with noise cover, that is the conclusion I made from trial and error.

I don't know what you are talking about. My works super silent and it has a right tension to it. I showed this to my buddy magician who had quite a heavy ring on him yet it vanished in a moments notice without a trace. Only to be found on my keychain. It was office environment and it worked very silently
