We were visiting this wonderful collection of tribal artifacts, when the Collector shows us this very unusual ring.
"It's an African Bwa/Bobo Buffalo head ring with a bird, from Burkina Faso. It's both a protective ring and a symbol of the initiate; some people call it a Silence Ring. A ring used in certain funeral rituals to shut the mouth of the defunct and let him go with his secrets. But it has another curious property... Try to give a call with your cell phones..." All are cellphones were silent, dead mute. |

Love it!
As a mentalist you must always ask yourself what if! And throughout your life you should seek to ask and answer this question over and over again, only then will your wildest dreams become a reality!

This kind of ring is worn by Bwa diviners and warriors/hunters too.

What a nice concept!
If someone cannot utter a secret, it might be similar to forgetting something. A question becomes, how could you make someone forget something?

It can be done a simple way. Show someone a specific drawing, then show the same drawing to the rest of the audience.
Make the first spectator forget the drawing by using the Silence Ring, and ask him what was drawned on the paper. He'll answer "nothing", the paper was blank. The rest of the audience will tell him that he's wrong, there was a tree on the paper. Show the tree... DON'T use F***** playing cards for the effect, but cards with drawings or symbols (a least ESP cards) and ... one blank. Show the blank card first, then switch it for a symbol cards. That's all, folks. The diviner ring may also unlock secrets. |

Does it work, the same way as a mirror, opening a window into all things in all realities, times, and places?

As magicians we create what onlookers call magic. If they truly believe in what we have created for them to witness then magic is real!!!

How old is that ring?
And is it still in use nowadays? |

It's a late 19th/early 20th century. It's always in use today.
