In case you have not seen it, I was fortunate enough to perform Matthew Garrett’s Ninja+ live for Penn & Teller on Fool Us! I had an absolute blast and wanted to thank Matthew personally for not only being my mentor and teaching this effect to me, but for being an incredible friend and supporting me/coaching me through this entire process. Seriously, what an incredible guy and brilliant mind in magic! So for those who have not seen it yet, enjoy some linking ring magic on the greatest stage for magicians!

Great showing that many things are possible with rings that breaks away and challenges the "I know how it is done" fear of many magicians.
I suspect that there are other effects/routines out there that may now come to light because of your efforts. Kudos! As mentioned by Penn, linking rings are often seen as props with no reason and therefor are suspect. How to make them natural? A good challenge.

As many of you may recall from my BTS video, I sent in multiple versions of the Ninja+ performance to Fool Us before settling in on one that was best for TV! Matthew Garrett was there behind the scenes working with me on this. It was his Idea to perform the forehead link. We even bounced ideas around about how to have Penn’s ring perminantly joined to a Ninja+ gimmick! For now take a look at version 1&2 of my audition. The final version will become available next week!

I watched the episode and your performance was great! Maybe you didn't fool them, but I had no idea on some of the stuff at least. Normally linking rings bore me to death but you actually made it interesting and entertaining so kudos to you!
