E-Club ProBorrowed Ring on Pencil - £7.00
The ring on wand is one of the classic magic effects. Master Routine No.9 creates a clean, magical handling which gets away from some of the more 'obvious' methods offered elsewhere.
The performer borrows a finger ring and displays a pencil and a handkerchief. The pencil is placed flat on the table. The ring is covered by the handkerchief which is then turned upside down so that the ring is at the bottom and then lowered until it touches the centre of the pencil.
Suddenly, the handkerchief is pulled away and the ring is seen to have penetrated both the cloth and the pencil so that it is now threaded on the pencil centre.
The ring is taken off the pencil and placed on the table. The handkerchief is folded into a flat rectangular shape and laid over the ring. The pencil is then placed across the handkerchief above where the ring is covered and part of the cloth is folded back across the pencil centre - both ends of the pencil remain in view at all times. Instantly the handkerchief is flipped forward to reveal the ring is back on the pencil centre!
Finally, the ring is put away in the performer's pocket for a few moments. Both hands are shown clearly empty. The pencil centre is covered by the cloth and a spectator holds both ends of the pencil.
The ring is brought back out again and vanishes. Immediately the cloth is removed and the spectator finds his ring back on the centre of the pencil he is still holding!
Everything can be examined as there are no gimmicks. Some practice is required, although there is nothing very difficult. The routine is fully detailed and illustrated in the instructions.
