Hello...am wondering if the Ring in Gumball machine illusion is still available from any builder? If so, what is a good model to go with as I've seen other threads on this subject which are older threads.

Many thanks in advance.

You could contact Ray Lum. He used to manufacture what he called the "Lumball Machine." Not sure whether he still does or not?

You might want to try Sterlini Magic in Colon, Mi. The site is not up to date with products, but the contact info is listed:

John used to make the Ringo machine. Very well made, I've seen it in person. Top load. Can be performed surrounded.

He may have a more up to date listing on Facebook

I have a Sterlini Gumball machine and can't speak highly enough about it. Very well made & reliable.

Dan.

I owned a Lumball machine for years and I loved it until someone complained that their ring was “damaged” during the trick. It wasn’t, but who was I to argue? I’ve never done a trick with a borrowed ring since then. Not worth the risk. Sold my Lumball and that was that. If you’re going to do tricks with a borrowed ring, just know you’re potentially risking a lot.
