Magic Tricks

I got this because of a thread over on Magic Café called "Inexpensive Tricks You Love" and for under $2 it's hard to go too wrong. That said I think the instructions for this are DISMAL. I was most certainly not doing this minutes after opening it. The ring was falling to the floor and not linking. I started to question if it even worked and what was going wrong and then it worked once... and eventually after persistence I figured out, no thanks to the poor instructions, what I was missing and how it all works. It's a neat little starter trick for under $2 and, IMHO, teaches that practice matters. I honestly don't understand how people are just reading these instructions and performing it and there's an element where I think that's a good thing. My 6 year old has shown an interest in magic, but has no patience for practice... this takes a little practice to get it right and it either works or it doesn't... so to some degree I think this is a 'feature'. I just know that the instructions could be a lot better. If they had included ONE extra detail I'd have been set, but I had to figure that out for myself.
