Hello, to those who have ring flight/flite[the ring to key purse version],or those who know how it works, any ideas of misdirections for performing it? I need some cool misdirection ideas to put into my act. Can't seem to think of a real good one. Those who has it will know why :P Thanks.

Hmm, Why you need misdirection?

Anyway, a simple turn over gesture will do the trick. Or the hand on pants also work.

Or you mean misdirection to get the gimmick on?

JC Sum did it in the TV series before. So he will have a good idea on what you can do. :)

Personally, I've not yet found a Ring Flight that I like (aka confidently to do it well). Either the ********************, or the good ones are too expensive (Porper's).

Richard Sanders' Interlace is a good alternative for the Ring to Impossible Location theme. The misdirection is almost self working but there is a slight preparation required.

Hi,

Personally, I think you require good misdirection and motivation to perform this routine effectively, in all conditions.

The Ring Flight routine has been in my performance reportoire since 1994 and I've worked out a handling that eliminate the need to steal the c*** during performance. The presentation creates the misdirection needed with motivated moves. I published it in my 1996 IBM Linking Ring One Man Parade. Larry is right, I did this on Episode #1 'Top Fun' in the studio with Jack Neo's ring. It is also in one of the 'Magic in Motion' episodes on the SPHMBO screens, so you can try to look out for it to.

Essentially, it involves having an object in the key pouch which you exchange for their ring. Kind of a one-to-one temporary exchange as a token of good faith on your part. The item you use can lead itself to many comedic presentations. Anyway, after you remove that item from the pouch, you zip it up and place it back into your back pocket. As you bring your hand back to the front, you bring it back with the c*** - perfectly natural and undetectable. Then, when they are examining your item, you do the hook-up.

I've never been caught doing this ever in 13 years.

Copperfield's handing for his Shoe Flight in principle is identical in terms of motivation and misdirection.

If you do not want to show the key pouch in the beginning, my other best suggestion is to use a locking 'r*** and allow the c*** to hang behind your leg just before performance. This will allow your hand to naturally drop to its side and steal the c***.

The two most important things for a Ring Flight prop are: the r*** and the c***

I use a Ring Flight by C & M Productions but I can;t seem to find their contact anymore and don;t know if they are in business. Mak Magic's Ultimate Ring FLite is good but it is a locking r****. El Duco's looks good by his Swedish R*** scares me because it seems very strong.

For the C***, you can get the perfect one from Spotlight. It is sold by the packet of a dozen of so for $4, I think. It is the same c*** that Whit Haydn sells as the Perfect C***. Trust me, replace any Ring Flite with this C*** if it does not come with this style C***. It is the best and looks very natural on a key pouch.


One last note: NEVER borrow a ring with stones set into them and do not borrow rings that are too thin. Stones can be dislodged during the ring's 'flight' (pun intended) and thin rings can break due to the force.

Good luck and I will not be held responsibility for any lost or damaged rings... :-)

Best,

Thanks, I think the advice of taking an item out of your key pouch and exchange for the audience's ring temporary is a good idea. I need a misdirection on the part where I put the ring into my index finger and then have to put it into the other hand[this is when the ring make its vanish]. I need a misdirection for that part because the weight of the ring will cause it to "swing". Those who knows what I'm talking about will know what is it. Sorry if the description is not clear as further explaining will be exposing.

i like richard sanders method


got to see the gimmick and the video and i feel it's a good idea

it's pricey and prior prep/setup to ur pants is required but once done it actually resets instantly and u can do it again and again which is great


u can read the review on magicboutique.sg

For misdirection of the vanish, it is the basic 'bigger action covering the smaller action' concept.

With the ring (already attached to the c*** hidden by your fingers), perform a fake transfer to your other hand. Upon executing the transfer, swing/ move your body in the direction that the ring will 'fly' and mover your hands upwards at the same time. i.e. if you are holding the ring and c*** in your right hand, you pivot your body to the right and move your hands upwards to about eye level. The motivation for this is to apparantly show the people on your right the 'ring' or show a single spectator a different view of the 'ring'

Choreographed as a fluid display, the misdirection will be more than enough to allow the ring to 'fly' without being seen.

However; note that if you are performing with people on your sides or behind, you will need to wear a jacket or tucked out open shirt to cover the ring's flight. It cannot be performed surrounded without cover.

Best,

J C
