xandermagic New user Denmark 28 Posts	Posted: Dec 1, 2022 11:46 am 0 Hi What tricks are possible with a PK ring? I would like to wear one but the only posible thing I can think about is maybe spinnig fork on a bottle? Best regards Xander

Certainly check out Kurotsuke variations as well as "Chop Cup" as Patrick suggested. Regardless, my hint is that if you wear a ring for one effect you must wear it for all, PK or not. It must be natural to you and your movements. Otherwise it is a "tip off" and draws attention rather than supporting a sleight that should go unnoticed.

"Success" is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.
Koolmagic114 Veteran user 319 Posts	Posted: Jun 30, 2023 12:37 am 0 I cannot think of the name of it... But there was a trick by Richard Sanders I want to say.. Where a borrowed spectators bill appears inside a blister pack of gum.. I used to do this years ago (and really need to do it again) The bill visably appears in the gum under the foil. Awesome effect using the PK ring. There are some great effects using it.

Any advice from funsway (as above) is usually pure gold. To his thoughts I would only suggest to check out Charles Gauci's 'Body Language,' which was a "magic gateway" for me personally into a whole universe of possible uses for what I'll subtly refer to here as the "PK principle." In my not-so-humble opinion, many dollars could be saved by magicians with the thoughtful application of a PK ring or similar device in place of much more expensive electronic methods. Never try to teach a pig how to sing. You will waste your time, and it annoys the pig.

That is "Ultra Gum" which I have, although the whole bill does not appear inside as it is too big, just a corner or corner of a card. The great trouble with magicians is the fact that they believe when they have bought a certain trick or piece of apparatus, and know the method or procedure, that they are full-fledged mystifiers. -- Harry Houdini
jimhlou Inner circle 3698 Posts	Posted: Oct 26, 2023 06:06 pm 0 It is s utility prop. It doesn’t do any magic. I use mine for 2 effects, The psychic nut off bolt, and to catch the tip of my ink pen after performing the pen through dollar
