Review King Eternal Order 14446 Posts |
Paul Gross wrote me asking if I'd like to see this. No strings attached ( I've known Paul a number of years ). Well, I already had a routine, without having seen it, so I said OK.
http://www.hocus-pocus.com/magicshop/?product=11099 There's a thread in the Latest and Greatest, but this is shipping so might as well start a thread here. OK, so it arrived in two days somehow. It's about the size of a silver dollar. I never look at instructions when I first get something and was looking to over and then remembered that effect with the ring and chain. That one, while clever, I never met anyone that could do it 100%. Well, it's been 10 or more years since I held the old effect, but I nailed Infinity Ring on the first try. I got out a pad and, I hit 29 out of 29 times. I then read the detailed instructions and they do in fact tell of the history and give detailed instructions, presentations, cold reading ideas, tips, etc. I got a few packages today and I had this out and my girl thought my Mom sent it to me. I put it on and asked her what she thought. She thought it looked like rapper bling. So I said, it was my grandmother's. I then went into my routine. I may give the full details later, but in essence, I first let the ring fall and I catch it. The second time, according to my routine and with her help, I trusted her power of faith and belief and kept my hand away. It was all on her to make it work and not fall to the ground and break ( quite a bit of drama here ). I let it go, the ring fell and...attached to the chain. She gasped. I tugged on the ring and told her this is really attached. I had her unclasp the necklace and un-thread it. She examined it and looked at me and of course asked me was I messing with her and this was a trick. I confessed a friend that owned a magic shop sent it and told her that there is no gimmick. I did the routine again and this time, I let her drop the ring. Perfect. So, you can let them drop the ring. Would they be 100%? Hmmm. Since I let them hold the chain, I think they are already involved enough and with my routine, they actually are doing the magic. I then let her in on it and she came up with perhaps a better routine than I had and wants to do it for her Mom on Christmas eve. OK, so, the gold, so to speak, of this is that it's dead accurate. If you do exactly as is explained, it works every time. They must have solved the proper weight/balance issue that the brass type rings made it hit or miss ( maybe not for everyone, but anyone I knew ). With the proper routine ( I believe one that has an emotional hook as I think tricks or puzzles ruin it ) you have a winner. My girls comment about the bling got us thinking and she suggested just carrying it in the jewelry case it comes with and telling the same grandmother story I told her. I like that, but I sure would rather wear it because it will get commented on. I'll have to see about that issue. I "think" you could even use it as a pendulum if you enjoy that type of magic.

Is the chain open or closed when the ring is dropped. Is it thrown back on or dropped along the chain and it wrapps on??? cheerz

Wayne,
The chain is closed. The ring is dropped down the chain and the ring is attached/linked or knotted depending on your definition at the bottom. All can be immediately handed out and inspected. Best regards Paul Gross owner Hocus Pocus |

Thanks Paul, I take it that it then has to be opened to take the ring off. Also, could this be engraved with say Lord of the Ring symbols or other writings and not affect the rings integrity. cheerz

Wayne,
You do not have to open the chain to remove the ring. You must untie it as it is completely attached/knotted to the chain. I hope that this explanation is clear...The photo on our website is a better picture of what I am trying to explain. The Ring is just like a piece of fine jewelry and could be engraved if you wish. Best regards Paul Gross Owner Hocus Pocus |

I understand the desire to have something on you all the time that is seemingly impromptu and classy.
But really, is this supposed to be for men? I have never seen a man wearing jewelry like this.

Are you guys serious?
http://www.magiclegends.com/product2194.html If you still feel like spending the extra $70 I will personally 'ice' and 'bling' out your metal ring. Just send a check or money order to : Funky Wizard Gullible,USA 7999 I'm just kidding. But,in all seriousness why release this? It doesn't look fancy, it looks tacky. I know we gotta make money but come on.

This is Will Tsai. Sorry for my late presence. I am not a regular Café member, my buddy Gerard informed me that there's such a thread and thought I would check it out on Christmas day. Merry Christmas everyone! I'm glad that people who purchased the effect are enjoying it. It has been a pet effect for myself and a few close friends for years until now. I've received huge and crazy feedbacks after releasing this effect. Thanks for everyone's support.
For people who has concern about this product ( may it be design, price, ... etc), as mentioned in the ad, I am sure this won't be for everyone. As the matter of fact, there's isn't a single magical effect that I am aware of fits everyone's performing persona. So does the design of an accessory. I hold my sincere respect for all different opinions. For the people who have purchased the effect, thank you for your support of our hard work. For the people who didn't like the effect for any reason, thank you too for letting us know your opinion. Again, Merry Christmas and pre-happy new year! Will Tsai PS. I'll be transferring a series of products from Japan next year. Check out Hocus-Pocus regularly, they will always be the first to carry my products in US area. |

Doug, as an actual owner of the product, I'd say I paid for the outcome of the effect and it was worth my investment. Check out my previous post. It is well and precisely made so everything happens in spectator's hands! And on the instruction it explains much more than just the trick itself. Moves, psychology, presentation, cold reading... etc. Although as a magician, I paid for the effect of a trick, not the prop. This does come with a quality prop in my opinion. I'd say it is a very good buy that I made for myself this Christmas.

Trust me RIVARDJLR, wait till yours arrived. It's a lot more cooler than what's in the video. Not just the prop, but everything else too.
Just a thought. Aaron Aaronish Magic |
