If you are the type of magician that loves performing magic that is meaningful for your spectators then you may want to read on.

If you are the type of magician that loves performing magic that culminates in creating an impossible object that can be left with your spectators as a keepsake then you too may want to read on.

But if you are the type of magician that loves BOTH of these things then boy do I have a trick for you!

Rings is how I perform a linking card routine where the spectators keep the signed, linked rings as a souvenir. If you see a pair of linked rings you don’t even need to see the performance of the effect to see that it is simply impossible, it’s like a sealed deck of cards in a glass bottle, it just looks impossible.

“It isn’t very common these days for me to get EXCITED about an upcoming release. Everything seems to be derivative of something great that already exists. Rings, however, sparked my excitement in a way that is hard to describe. I felt like I was watching an old school video learning something special. Rings is going right into my corporate strolling set!”

I have always been fascinated by impossible objects, I absolutely love using magic to create strange things that you can give away. If you know my magic you know effects I have released like Labelled, Linko and OCL are all pieces of magic that end with an impossible object that the spectators can keep that frames that moment for them forever.

I don’t like gimmicks that give you a sense of ‘is it going to work this time’ or ‘I hope this doesn’t break’. The magic world has changed, that is definitely true, a LOT of magic is viewed through an online platform now, there is market for a whole heap of magic that has terrible real world angles and has no need to be reliable as you can simply re-film the performance.

But that is not how I work, I perform to real people in real life, it’s not always ideal situations and you can never just ‘re-shoot’ it. So I aim to create magic that suits my performing needs, magic that is practical, reliable and doable in the real world. I am just not interested in creating the new Instagram or TikTok toy gimmick, I want my creations to be performed and enjoyed by people in real, live situations.

I have to have confidence in what I perform and that is what Rings is for me, a piece of magic I can 100% rely upon.

“Rings is much more than a trick – it’s a moment they will never forget. It’s practical, engaging and most importantly – memorable. I love it!”

Let’s also talk OCL quickly…

Some of you may be thinking, ‘isn’t OCL your ‘perfect’ linking card effect?’

If you’ve never heard of it then don’t worry but OCL is a method for linking cards that I am incredibly proud of. It was however born from a challenge I gave myself which was – How do you take one card, tear two rings from it, have them signed and then linked together so they can be kept in their linked state as a souvenir. And it did EXACTLY that, however as a worker, the method has its drawbacks. It can be fiddly to make if you aren’t used to it, the setup also requires a couple of specific glues for it to work, then there is a time limit between when you create the gimmick and when you should perform the effect and finally the performance of the effect could not be surrounded and if you didn’t perform it perfectly then you don’t end up with a perfect set of linked rings.

Rings eliminates ALL of these issues.

It is super practical not only to perform but also to create. Because you know that at the end of the performance you are guaranteed to be able to leave your spectators with a perfect set of signed, linked rings EVERY time.
