I just came across this video of a young Richard Ross performing the rings. IMO, he performed the most beautiful ring routine...

Bryan,

I totally agree with you. I was lucky enough to see Richard Ross perform his linking rings live at a Magic Castle Awards show just before he passed away. Watching his performance, I felt like I had never seen the linking rings before. It was poetry. Thank you for bringing this video to our attention.

I saw Richard Ross when I was six years old in Whichita Kansas at a Steven's Magic event. I wish I could have really absorbed what was going on so I could cherish it forever! He was amazing... I always loved his bit on the "thumb-thip" (Thumb Tip) on the Steven's Bakery video! From what I've heard, Richard use to actually wear various colored tips just to prove it didn't matter the color, he could conceal it without it "flashing"...
