I bought this DVD several years ago hoping to pick up a few tips I could incorporate into the ring
and string routine I was already performing. I wasn't expecting much, but what I found was a gold
mine of tips and techniques. I never leave home without my string (small cord) in my pocket. I even
carry a wedding band with me just in case no one has a ring I can borrow. My favorite thing to do is
go into a jewelry store in a mall and ask to see an expensive ring. Then I do killer routine,
vanishing the ring entirely at the end. There is always a look of panic that comes over the clerk's
face, but when the ring reappears in an impossible location, under impossible conditions, their
heart nearly stops. Yes, there are a few sleights invloved, but they aren't difficult. They do
require practice to do well, otherwise you will just look foolish. What you need more than sleight
of hand skills are presentation skills. It is more about being able to effectively direct your
audience's attention to where you want it, and performing all the moves as if you were making NO
MOVES AT ALL. Much of the success of this routine will depend entirely upon your abaility to BE a
magician...fully confident in your technical skills, but more importantly in your presentation
skills. This routine slays the spectators and leaves them KNOWING they have seen real magic. I will
not leave home without this, and cannot rcommond this highly enough. I would give it 10 stars if it
were possible.
