Yes - it's really not my favourite ring to impossible location though but it's quite practical and you can carry it with you easily/all the time - so yes it's a good one and funnily enough nearly all the times I ended up performed with it were actually times I hadn't planned on performing (!) but if I plan on performing a ring to impossible location I'll stick with another routine I'm used to and that I prefer by far

I don’t use the supplied key and they can hold mine without finding anything as I have made it so it locks it’s a thing of beauty Gaz 😊

Anyone on the fence - if you get a MagicStream free trial you can watch the entire instruction video. It helped me choose this over the alternatives I was considering.

It's indeed a very practical and clever method to load the ring. I just carry it all the time and it's always my savior when I am asked to do some magic without preparing anything.

Now people have had time to use this for a decent period of time, how well is it holding up? I'm a little concerned the construction won't hold up as well as other ring flites (e.g. Einhorn's Pro Flite). I get the sense it's a little more fragile?

The CW Morelli ring is more thin but a bit more elegant and the pendant can easily be replaced with one of your own choice. I find both systems are very usable. |

I just received this last night, and I gotta say it is a brilliant idea. Considering it is based on an age old effect, I'm impressed how Steve made the mental leap that I couldn't. I am, what I consider an advanced amateur. I performed professionally back in the eighties (yes, I'm old). I'm always on the lookout for non-playing card effects that won't break the bank and get great reactions. The fact that it is easy to do is a bonus. I get home about an two hours before my wife, so there was time to watch the tutorials and work with the gimmick. When my wife got home I showed her the effect. She's seen waaaaaaay too much magic, so my feeble attempt at a vanish did not fool her. However, I did use the suggestion of putting the key ring in her hand, and the reveal garnered a "What the !@#$!!" response. I cannot think of a higher recommendation.
I am on the fence on how the tutorial is distributed. It is no password. As I typed in the web address in Chrome, it autocompleted not only the tutorial that I was looking for, but for a couple of effects that I have not purchased. I am not worried about lay people finding it, but about protecting those that purchased effects that I have not. I should not be able to watch a tutorial of an effect I have not purchased. Old guy problems. |

It's also the case for other ellusionist effects I have. Was also suprised but you do need the exact webpage address (which is not that difficult to find I agree).

I disagree it’s well made the key ring on the ones made properly at least should protrude a fraction before it’s welded . That’s how mine came , yours may have been faulty from the start . You would have to go out of your way to break this so it will last forever unless mistreated . It’s like saying your brass chop cup is poorly made because you drop it and you put a slight dent in it . That will obviously occur if you dropped it on the pavement . I saw a big name coin guy at Blackpool ask to look at a young kids 3 fly he just bought from Mark Mason . He done a few moves to feel them and dropped them outside the winter gardens and ruined the edges so it happens to anything if not treated right or by a genuine accident . Mark’s coins are superbly made so don’t always blame the tools as there are a couple of prime examples for you Gaz 😊

I haven't tried this in the real world yet, but I'm toying with the idea of combining this with the effect on Gregory Wilson's On the Spot where two fingers are shown on either side of your watch band and the ring flips back and forth between fingers. Instead of pretending to throw the ring at the end, if you leave it on your middle finger, you're in position to do a thimble vanish with the ring as you pretend to hand it back. "What? Your ring has vanished? Well I do happen to have a very similar ring here on my keychain..." or "Sorry can't seem to get the darned thing to stay put..." then produce the ring on the keychain.
I've also been thinking of how this might be combined with Gregory Wilson's Bandwidth. "Oh, is this one of those soft metal rings? You know you can get these resized at home..." Then Bandwidth followed by the visual linking of the ring. |

If it does ever fall off it’s easy to weld back on even with an aralidite metal welding glue . I have even made my own spares by purchasing the same size key rings and little keys etc but they are mainly to rig up with my interlaced effect . Anyway I’m glad you have found a work around Gaz 😊
