For nearly two decades, "Ring, Watch, Wonder" has been a staple in Ben Seidman's bag of tricks. It’s dazzled audiences from the glitzy spotlight of Penn & Teller: Fool Us to high-stakes corporate shindigs and intimate private soirées. Now, this tried-and-tested routine can be yours to baffle your mates with.
"Ring, Watch, Wonder" (or R.W.W. if you’re feeling lazy) is a slick reworking of the classic "Ring, Watch, Wallet" routine made famous by Tommy Wonder. Here’s the deal: you pop your ring, watch, and cash into an envelope. The instant you seal it, you rip that paper to bits. Voila! Your ring’s back on your finger, your watch’s back on your wrist, and your cash is snug inside your previously empty wallet. Magic, right?
Many magicians shy away from this plot because the usual methods can be a right faff. Most versions insist you kick off your show with it, use a reel, wear specific clothing, or track down pricey props. R.W.W. doesn’t come with any of that baggage.
- Total Versatility: You can perform it anytime during your set—opener, closer, or even during a tea break.
- No Wardrobe Constraints: Forget jackets and awkward pulls; wear whatever you fancy.
- Built for the Real World: The angles are fabulously clean, making it reliable for both stage and parlor settings.
- Complete Package: You get every prop you need, including a top-notch JOL Himber wallet.
A performer of Ben's calibre rarely lets go of something straight from his professional toolkit, and it’s even rarer for that material to be as user-friendly as R.W.W. This is a routine you'll actually want to use. It’s approachable to learn, practical to perform, and designed to stand up in real-world situations.
"Ring Watch Wonder" comes in right- or left-handed options. Ben suggests you grab the version for the hand opposite your watch-wearing hand. (So, if your watch is on your left wrist, go for the right-handed edition, and vice versa.) You’ll receive everything you need to pull off the routine, including:
- Ungimmicked, size 10 ring (Feel free to swap this out for your own ring if you're feeling fancy.)
- Leather JOL Himber wallet
- Black watch with matching gimmick
- 25 Envelopes
- Over an hour of video instruction from Ben on the routine, all the moves, and how to make it your own.
