When Garrett Thomas introduced THE RING THING at the famous FFFF invitation-only close-up magic convention, some of the top close-up magicians in the world were asking to see it over and over again. Luminaries such as David Blaine, Jeff McBride, Gregory Wilson and many others have asked Garrett to teach them this fabulous impromptu routine. Why? Because it looks like real magic! And now, every detail of THE RING THING can be yours- Garrett Thomas has held nothing back.
THE RING THING looks like trick photography . . . but it's not! It's a quick, visual, impromptu miracle that you can do right before their eyes. You pull off your finger ring, toss it back towards your other hand . . . and it visibly appears back on your finger!
Garrett doesn't just stop at teaching THE RING THING. This DVD is a post-graduate course in finger ring magic. Of course, effects that can be performed at a moment's notice and with no preparation are some of the most valuable tricks to know and finger rings are everyday objects that are always available. Imagine visibly taking a ring on and off right through your finger! Imagine visibly changing a coin into a ring and then back into a coin again! Imagine causing an invisible ring to really become visible! All of this . . . and much more . . . are revealed in Garrett Thomas' THE RING THING!

Garrett is a little bit younger on this DVD which gives away the age of the production but none the less, this is an excellent instructional video. It covers all of the sleights in painstaking detail (in a good way). Garrett covers the different ring options at the beginning which was very helpful to me as a newby to ring magic. The effects covered in the video are timeless, practical, but watch the angles when performing live. He does caution against overusing the moves, so be sure to provide variety in your routines. The moves are not particularly difficult but requires a bit of "showmanship" to pull off (with some good practice). Watch a few modern takes on this performed by LLoyd Barnes and some augmentation of the routines on Youtube. Excellent buy!

Martin asks: Does this cover all effects Garrett used in his Penn & Teller performance?
Wesley asks: How important is the size of the ring? Can this be done with any ring, or does it have to be in a specific range of dimensions?
