Is the 7 rings routine shown some where on the internet so we could compare it to the Sympathy of Rings Dia Vernon taught? Does he also teach flourshes?

To keep the routine exclusive to the people who purchase it they have decided not to make the performance public at this time.

Does this come on dvd?

This product is an instant download. You'll need to provide your own rings.

Also, Chris Capehart wonderful Three Link Routine as an unusual crash link and invisible link. Would this skill be an improvement?

This would be an improvement but also different than the Capehart routine. I think that learning both would be beneficial in studying the rings.

Is the routine = to or better than the Vernon's Symphony of Rings?

That's a matter of opinion. Too subjective to answer really.

does it include suggested or taught routines, as Levent does?

Part One is the analysis of my 7 Ring Routine with every detail. Not just the mechanics but also the thinking behind it: Structure, Dramaturgy, economy of movements etc. I perform this routine for many many years in every situation: Big Stage, Parlour and close-up-shows (not table hopping)

The ad copy mentions 8-12 inch rings. But can the techniques (specifically in part 2 of the set) be used with smaller close up rings? I understand the routine in part 1 will require 7 rings (and will probably require the 8-12 inch rings) but I am more interested in the silent linking techniques in part 2 and making up my own routine using smaller close up 4 ring sets (4-5 inch set)

Maybe some moves work also with small rings. But the moves are made for stage rings. I think the small rings appear too light and too small in relation to the performers hands. If you hold a close-up ring in the fist, it looks not so elegant and you cover a lot of the ring. To hold a larger ring in the fist looks more natural (my opinion). However I think to work on the silent moves can inspire everyone who works on rings and likes to find "new" approaches.

A masterclass on the linking rings from FISM-winner Axel Hecklau.

Whether you already perform the rings and are looking too give your routine a boost, or are just starting out, there is something for everyone in this download. 40 years of performing experience have been put into this 3.5-hour long comprehensive guide that offers a new approach to the linking rings. Crystal-clear instructions, multi-camera views and slow motion replays makes learning the linking rings easier than ever before.

You won't just learn the HOW, but also the WHY. On top of the important theoretical thoughts on structure, dramaturgy or routining and classical moves and figures, you will learn how to link two rings with absolutely no sound in fluid motion, in many different ways.

Part 1: 7 Rings (a brilliant routine).

Analysis of the structure, dramaturgy, symbolism, background thoughts and many other theoretical aspects, as well as the routining and mechanics, of Axel Hecklaus' 7 ring routine using just a standard set of rings. This routine is 6 minutes of astonishing entertainment for all performance situations. One of the most practical pieces you can do. And Axel will spend 2 hours breaking down every decision and explaining its significance.

Part 2: Silent Rings

More than 15 different innovative ways to silently link and unlike 2 rings. There's a variation, handling or display to suit every performer's needs.

Download "The Silent Rings" today.

NOTE: No linking rings are included. This is a download only. You must provide your own set of 8 inch to 12 inch linking rings.

Damian

Fantastic. Very good explanations about the details in rings manipulation.

Douglas

saw the promo video for this masterclass on youtube and gave it a try - I have always loved the linking rings and have several instructional DVDs - this is by far the clearest and most informative presentation of the rings I have seen - the theory and discussion of dramaturgy were very insightful and gave good perspective on understanding the organization and flow of the performance - even the discussion of which way to turn to the audience to keep yourself and the act in full view - very helpful - the explanations were very clear and the slo mo video follow ups really helped to clarify the finer points of the hand and finger movements and how to handle the rings - this video set is well worth twice the asking price - I am looking forward to the second half of this masterclass - this has resurrected my rings routine and brought new life to my performances - thank you Axel for an exceptional educational video

David

Great routine structure and lessons in handling the rings. Whether you currently perform the linking rings or want to learn more to improve your handling, Axel Hecklau's work is brilliant. He emphasizes economy of motion throughout and his silent linking technique is great. Trust me, you will use his routine, or at least elements of it to improve your existing routine.
