00053-Tarbell 54 – Chinese Linking Rings

In the world of magic, few tricks have achieved the longevity and iconic status of the Linking Rings… and for good reason…

The premise is basic solid-through-solid, the rings have a simple, elegant beauty, and (when presented well) their true secrets remain elusive.

In this lesson, you’ll learn everything you need to know to master this magnificent mainstay of magic, beginning with my step-by-step, move-by-move instructions, detailing Dan’s professional routine he has used throughout his career with tremendous success. You’ll learn how to link two rings and immediately hand them out.

You’ll learn various fancy ways to unlink and link the rings with ease and style. You’ll learn Dan’s favorite moves: A flashy palm-open spinning link,
melting three rings apart while held by your helper, and the four ring tumble-down. Plus, Dan shows you his favorite sequence of figures to show-off your skill.

Once you master this routine, your audiences will know (without a doubt) you are a highly-skilled, top-quality professional performer. And the best part is Dan makes it fun and easy to finally grasp the specific positions and critical timing necessary, resulting in a smooth, deliberate, professional performance.

Dan also gives you his bonus routine using colorful festival beads instead of the standard steel rings. It’s a perfect presentation for practically any party.

Then it’s back to the rings for the legendary Weber’s Emergency Routine (using no key ring). And, Dan added the highly-deceptive Tommy Dowd “Odin” Ring Count to complete this lesson on one of the most iconic and well-loved pieces in all of magic… when performed effortlessly by a master. And now, you can learn it, too.
