I miss Aldo too. What a truly magical guy and natural born entertainer. His passing always brings my heart sadness whenever I think about it. Aldo was one of those rare guys who should have just been allowed to go on and on.

Aldo bought 100 leather cones from me for his Cone-Tact routine.
Luckily I got to thank him in person at a convention but I never saw him after that. Great guy!

Great guy, like you said. Full of Italian charm. Had a unique way of eliciting lots of love from his audiences. Everybody loved Aldo!

I had to share this with you guys because truth is stranger than fiction: For the previous week, I got a booth at a business expo at a 4H fair. I had a booth as did a multiplicity of other businesses. The expo was for six days. For six days I stood there for hours every day and demonstrated my repertoire of magic tricks for passers by. Marathon time! (Had a blast, by the way!)
Well, here comes the amazing part. Remember how at the first part of this thread I had searched the world over for a plastic ring like Aldo's to no avail? Well, as I set up my booth on the first day, I looked to the booth space to my right. It was empty because that vendor had cancelled. But (this is the God's honest truth!) something caught my eye on the floor, there, and there it sat. A PLASTC RNG JUST LIKE ALDO''S!! I picked it up and could hardly believe my eyes! I have NO IDEA where it came from, but I quickly scarfed it up and used it for the RNG on rope routine and it worked like a dream!! I'm not making this up. I searched and searched the workd for this, could not find t, and almost "magically" it appeared like pretty much in my back yard.

I do indeed. And what happened to me is as close to real magic as it comes.

Another good place to find metal rings is at western stores or farm stores. I get my metal rings for ickle pickles chained from Orshelens farm and home in the tack section for horses
