Topic: Ring for Ring & Rope

I'm looking for a ring for a "Ring & Rope" routine of a specific size, both in outside diameter and thickness. What I'm hoping to find is a ring with the outside diameter of 3" and the thickness being 3/16". I would prefer Brass, but Chrome or Copper will do and the the ring should be seamless. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear from you.

Sdmagic.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have taken a look at what they have available. The closest they can come is 3 5/8" outside diameter with the thickness of 5/16". What I'm really looking for is 3" outside diameter with a thickness of 3/16".

Try a tack shop. (horses and the like)

Just out of curiosity, why does this ring have to be so exact in size and measurement?

I think Capt.Hook is right on - a tack shop might be a great place to look. Of course, you can always have them made if you do not find what you are looking for.

I had that exact size ring and used it for the past 20 years, until last week when I lost it. Just trying to replace something I've grown accustome to using.

Will either one of these fit your needs?

If not try an ebay search.

Good luck novpro,

I know your pain. These stories can have happy endings. When you do find your new Ring, buy several.

I understand now. Just to make yet another possible contribution:

http://www.elmwoodmagic.com/full/Accessories-Ultimate-Brass-Ring-Craig-Dickson__4269.htm

This is the one that I use for most of my ring and rope routines. I also have the other brass ring offered by Craig Dickson, which I also bought from Elmwood, which is chrome plated for higher visibility on stage.

Wmhegbli,
Thank you for the links. However, the first one you provided did not work. I called the 2nd one and left a message and yet to hear from them.

Dr_J_Ayala,
And thank you also. However 8mm is pretty thick.

Check with Craig at wizardcraft.com. I bought one that I think might meet your needs, but I can't find it right now. (nothing like having too much stuff spread between two houses!). If I find it, and it meets your specs, I will sell it to you!

I found my Wizardcraft ring. It's OD is 3 1/2" and thickness is 1/4". Mine is brass and seamless. I think he sells them for $10.00.

I use the solid brass ring from Wizard Craft, and love it. Size, weight, appearance, etc.. are great.

You can also find many very unusual (and interestingly quite beautiful) rings in a big range different sizes, and thicknesses, materials, and styles (rounded sides, flat sides, etc.) in an out of the way place.

I�ve made the journey (wearing dark-lasses) and was both surprised and very pleased at the huge selection. I�ve found exactly right weighted and sized rings, even some with rainbow or colored titanium coatings.

The store is your local �Adult Toy Story� or �Adult Video and Love Products� shop. Yep, not your usual magic store� just get over it, if you want something special you have to go a little out of your way to find it.
