NicholasD25, his chain routine had some moves not written about (I believe) back when he lectured. Maybe he had notes on that routine. He also had a great color changing knife routine.

Later, when I became more interested in endless chain routines, I tried to find details about his routine, with no luck. |

Any one know if there is any video of Christopher Manos chain routine easy to find?

I think the original topic was about other fast n loose presentations.
I really like one put out by Mark Strivings. It is don't in the hands, off the table. Uses a ball type chain. Just another routine that's out there. Scott Shoemaker ....Shooz

Paul Wilson's in the air routine is quite good. I believe there's still a YouTube video of it. If anyone has an interest in doing an in the air routine, I think the ball type chain is a better choice because it's not as bulky as, say, the SFS chain. |

I first saw the Robert Brooks routine in a 1983 Apocalypse. Paul Vigil, Paul Wilson, Mark Strivings and others have routines. After setting the chain , it's draped over the spectator's thumbs and they decide which thumb will catch. |

How’s the spectator put their finger in a loop if it’s in the air

Sorry, horrible description on my part.
The routine is done off the table. The moves are made and the chain ends up draped over the performers thumbs. Performer demonstrates that the chain will catch only on one of his thumbs. After the move(s), the chain ends up draped off the performers thumbs. Then spectator decides which thumb the chain will catch on and the performer can make the spectator right or wrong. With 2 spectators, one is always correct and one always incorrect. Lastly, one chooses a thumb and the other chooses catch or not....and they both are correct. Just an nice and different routine. And I think Mark Strivings still offers it. Shooz

Hello fellows !
I am a very satisfied user of the nickel french ring chain with the knot for almost 20 years now and wanted to buy another one in gold. So I ordered one from my favorite dealer but it is the new design which is thicker than the older one. Call me old school by I am more confortable with the former one. Mainly because I wear it around my neck during my act. So I wanted to know if by any chance I could still purchase an old slimmer one with it's gold knot. If one of you wants to sell me one PM me. Cheers.
