I saw this on the Wizard Product review and was very impressed. Does anyone have hands on experience with this effect?

I have it. It's pretty good. I haven't used it on a real audience just beacuase I didn't work on it much then put it in a drawer and forgot about it. I went off on a cups tangent (binge?) after buyin them. The ringsjust barely match the ninja rings, they are of a little bit smaller guage. The finger ring is not a jewelry masterpiece but not so much that anyone would really question it. In general, a great idea with useable props.
I might just dig them out and work something up, now that you've remined me of them. |

I was really taken back by the demo and subsequent review on WPR. It looked like it could be strong walk around magic. I just may work on this as well.

I am learning Ninja+ now. It is brilliant visual magic at its best. Very practical and commercial, and the rings can be handed out for inspection during the routine. A bonus for me is that the finger ring is a good match for my wedding band!

You need the deluxe set to perform the finger ring routine, right?

You just need the standard Ninja+ set. This can be ordered direct from Matthew's website

I just picked this up and really like it. It will require some real practice time, and some routining to get it good. The only thing I wish is that it came with a single solid ring as well. I will have to see about ordering one.

Scott,
I agree that would be a great addiction. Are you going directly to the creator of the trick to seek out an additional ring? Mark |
Scott Fridinger Special user Gloucester Pt, VA 893 Posts |
Yes. Now he does sell a set of 4 linking rings seperate, to do more traditional "Ninja Rings" effects, but I really only want one.

I recommend the four-ring Ninja set that Matthew also sells. These are a very good match to the Ninja+ set, although the diameter of the rings is slightly different (this will not be noticed by the spectator).
On the Ninja+ DVDs Matthew demonstrates how the Ninja set can be used to make a very effective intro to the Ninja+ routine. Also, of course, you can then learn Shoot Ogawa's Ninja routine. Mike |

Unfortunately those rings aren't as nice as the real ninja rings.

I think this is a great effect and really fun to play around with. It looks like magic should look.....

I met Matthew at a meet up we had in London last month, and he was a fantastically nice guy! He took time out to show us his ninja+, and taught us the basic moves even if we hadn't bought it, he wanted to make sure everyone could see how simple yet effective it is! Here is a quick clip to a fun little move he did on the day.... I don;t you can get much more close up than this!!!!

I have noticed that the finger ring looses its silverness very quickly if you have to practice a lot like I have been doing, so it maybe worth getting a second finger ring to use as a performance only ring.
My finger ring and the one on ninja+ are very different in look now. Just an observation ! Regards Dr Rob. |

I had the privilege of meeting Matthew Garrett after the 4F convention. Not only that but I got to see him fry some laymen with it. Its really as good as the hype says it is. Matthew is a super good teacher.....cause he was one.......and is a super nice guy. I love ninja plus.

Regardless of there only being vague options for ring sizes on his homepage, if you ask Matthew he'll send you specific sized rings.

I would however recomend that you buy the deluxe version because the ring that I recieved is Chrome plated Nickel, So you get the green finger problem that you don't get with the deluxe version. However, the effect itself is amazing.

Ryan, where does he sell the deluxe version?
