James,
I agree with Ray Pierce. If you want a set of rings to last a lifetime go with the Owen rings. I use the 12 inch ones. My six ring routine is taught in my new book The Book of Destiny and is also performed and explained on the 2 hour companion DVD that comes with the book. My routine, The Enchanted Rings, is spoken in verse which I've found connects emotionally with my audience. I would avoid plated rings, and hollow aluminum ones. Solid aluminum are OK. Sound is very important and the hollow stainless rings are the best IMO. Locking keys are cool but unnecessary. I have an excellent one from Owen which goes unused. You don't need it! Larry |

Okay, I've got a stage show coming up in Oct. and I want to get the 12 inch set for that. My plan as of now is to get a solid stainless steel set and to get a hollow set later in the year.
I was looking at the Klamm 12 inch rings. Good thing about them is he has a l*cking k*y and other singles sold separately. HOWEVER, apparently his 12 inch rings are PLATED. I'm pretty sure I do not want plated rings. My boyhood 8 inch set was chrome plated and they eventually flaked into sharp shards and it was a mess. Are there any 12 inch sets that are stainless that are unplated and heavy/thick as possible. Thanks. Jim

If rings are plated correctly, this will not happen. Klamm Magic rings are considered the better chromed rings on the market. Why you would compare your previous experience of shoddy work with the Klamm Rings is not a fair comparison. If all you want is set of rings, then just buy Empire/Loftus or Fun Inc. sets for $40.00. |

Bill,
Just assumed the plating could flake eventually regardless. Are those cheap sets as thick as the Klamm 12 inch you think? The Klamms are supposed to be 1/4 inch thick. I want the 12 inch solid rings to be thick to avoid them looking too delicate. Thanks. Jim

The cheaper sets are not heavy wire, how can they be for $40.
It seems you are looking for a high quality set, for 1970 prices. It ain't going to happen - unless you follow the death notices in the newspapers. Then you are not going to find 12" size available. Back in the day, it was only 8" and 10" rings being made by Rings and Things Company and Suds. |

Klamm has held his pricing because he is still selling original stock. As you have read Levent purchased the last of Klamm's 8" for his video, so there will be no more 8" available in good quality from Klamm. |

Hello all,
For those who prefer the 12" size, I now offer them. They are the same price as the 13". Both are 3/8" thick and look good from a distance. Cliff Wiggs http://www.proline-magic.com |

I have 12" Klamm rings - have used them for quite some time without any problem. A few days ago I dropped a single (in the grass, outdoors) and it popped apart! It looked like the ends were soldered together and then plated over. The GOOD NEWS: I contacted Bob Klamm, he immediately shipped a new ring (on a Saturday no less), and I received it on Monday. NO CHARGE! How's that for service?
