For ages, magicians have been making rings vanish like they’ve got something to hide. But it was the brilliant British magician/mentalist Al Koran who had the clever idea of making a borrowed finger ring disappear and then reappear on a key case hook. Since then, this cheeky little effect has wormed its way into every magician’s bag of tricks and dealer catalog known to man.
On this DVD, you’ll be introduced to five performers who’ve taken this classic effect and jazzed it up even more. First up is Steve Draun, who not only delivers a routine that’s as smooth as butter but also walks you through making your own Ring Flight gimmick (because who doesn’t like a bit of DIY?). Next, Bruce Cervon presents a routine that’s got more logic than a philosophy student, as the borrowed ring plays a game of musical chairs with one of the keys. Dan Tong spices things up by blending another classic—Ring On Stick—with Ring Flight, creating a hybrid that’s tailor-made for the strolling magician (perfect for those awkward moments in a pub). Then we have Dan Fleshman, who uses the spectacular Ring Flight finish as the grand finale for his signature Ring and String routine. Finally, Michael Close concocts a marvel that not only leaves audiences scratching their heads but can also be performed on the grandest of stages (because why not?).
Ring Flight is a true gem in the world of magic, and whether you’re just starting out or already squeezing this trick into your act, you’ll find a treasure trove of creativity and practical tips on this DVD.
