Vanishing Inc.
For nearly two decades, "Ring, Watch, Wonder" has been the ace up Ben Seidman's sleeve. This gem has dazzled audiences on some of the biggest stages imaginable — from the flashy spotlight of Penn & Teller: Fool Us to swanky corporate dos and exclusive private bashes. Now, you too can have this battle-tested masterpiece in your repertoire.
"Ring, Watch, Wonder" (or R.W.W. if you’re feeling chummy) is a slick rework of the classic "Ring, Watch, Wallet" routine that Tommy Wonder made famous. The premise is as sharp as a tack: you toss your ring, your watch, and some cash into an envelope. As soon as you seal that flap, you shred the paper to bits. Poof! The items are right back where they belong. Your ring? On your finger. Your watch? Back on your wrist. Your cash? Safely returned to your now-not-so-empty wallet.
Many magicians shy away from this plot because the usual methods are as unwieldy as a bull in a china shop. Most versions insist you kick off your show with it, use a reel, don specific threads, or track down pricey props. Not R.W.W. — it’s free from all that nonsense.
-
Total Versatility: You can drop it in anywhere in your set, whether it’s the opener or the encore.
-
No Wardrobe Constraints: No jackets required, and no clumsy pulls or reels to fumble with.
-
Built for the Real World: The angles are so clean, you could eat off them — perfect for both stage and parlor settings.
-
Complete Package: You get every single prop you need, including a posh JOL Himber wallet.
Performers of Ben’s calibre don’t often release gold straight from their professional act, and it’s even rarer when that material is as accessible as R.W.W. This is a routine you’ll actually want to use. It’s easy to learn, practical to perform, and structured to withstand the chaos of real-life gigs.
"Ring Watch Wonder" comes in right- or left-handed options. Ben suggests picking the version for the hand that doesn't wear your watch (so if your watch is on your left wrist, grab 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 it with your own — we won’t judge.)
- 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.
