Hello, I would like to know if Ultimate ring capture from Bob Solari is a good purchase.
Description: Ever since that fateful day many years ago when Al Koran conceived Ring Flite, magical inventors have been searching for the "perfect method." There has been Power Ring Flight, Ringon, Dusheck's Ringer and more. All are excellent in some situations and not so excellent in others. Now, Bob Solari has thrown his hat in the Ring Flight ring, as it were. His Ultimate Ring Flight is excellent. In effect, a ring is borrowed from a spectator. The ring is vanished, and re-appears hanging on your key ring, among your keys! The method is excellent. No pulls; No reels; No magnets. Can be performed in short sleeves! The ring is actually locked on the key ring. And, the whole thing can be handed to the spectator for examination. They will never find the gimmick! It takes a split second to get the ring on the key ring. No moves; no difficult handling; no fumbling! Reset takes half a second, so you'll always be ready to go! The key holder is made of stainless steel and nickle plated brass. And, it comes with a 10 year guaranteed! It will never wear out! If you really want to perform Ring Flight, you should definitely consider Ultimate Ring Flight! Thanks |

I have this.
This is a pretty good non-gaffed ring flight. As you know, no strings, no magnets, no nothing. It's all sleight of hand. It works best if you had a silk so that you can load the ring and have a reason to reach into your pocket. The key chain you get is the type that attaches to your belt. I use it as a regular key chain and can set it up in a second. Good misdirection is needed to accomplish this as well as a good false transfer. Bob goes through the little details of your body movement and poistioning. It's not hard at all and this is one of the best non-gaffed ring flights in my opinion as I hear alot of other non-gaffed ones have a hard time loading the ring. This takes getting used to with Bob Solari's version as well but its not as bad because the load is pretty easy to do - you'll see what I mean when you get it....if you get it I give it a good 7/10 Plus you get a LIFETIME warranty so if the gimmick busts you get another one free (shipping - you'll have to pay of course). It's a pretty good buy. All the best, Logan

Two notes. One, I want to emphasize what Logan said. You're getting an ungaffed key ring of a certain type and a routine, not a gaffed key ring. I expected to be getting a modified/custom madekey ring, and was surprised to later discover the same thing in a local auto parts store. This is NOT a complaint, just a clarification. Full credit is due, and the price is reasonable above what you'd pay for said key ring, for Bob discovering the idea of using it for this effect. Personally, I found the specific handling he details lacking, but I reworked it and used it for quite some time.
Two, my key ring kept coming partially open on my belt and causing keys to fall off. It could have just been a flaw in mine, but it's something to keep your eyes open for. In theory, it should take a lot of force to get it to open like that, so I was quite surprised that it kept coming open on its own. I couldn't figure it out. [shrug] Also, you can't carry it set in position to be loaded for long, or you will lose a key or keys eventually. You need to take a few seconds to set it before you use it (with practice, this can be done while it's on your belt with one hand, but it's not the easiest thing in the world). I ended up retiring it after hearing the unexpected clink of a key hitting the ground one too many times, and didn't have a satisfactory solution for a good "t-shirt and jeans" effect of this type for a while. Eventually I came up with my own version along with Andi Gladwin, but that was around the time I moved to mentalism, so I rarely perform it these days. --Andy
