Any thoughts?

I tried it last night for two people who were slightly drunk (easiest people to practise on I feel!). One of them said, "there's something underneath there...something tricky's going on." The other one, who was standing right next to me, didn't notice a thing. They were both pretty impressed, but misdirection was easy as hell with a pair of drunks.

Does anyone do ring flight without a jacket? I would like to take it out when I am not performing and not wearing a jacket/coat, but I have been afraid so far.

IMO, you don't need a jacket when you do ring flight, except when you're surrounded. If you have one or two people in front of you, you can do it with a short sleeved shirt.
All the best,

Next week you can buy "Just IN Case" the Pete Biro/Joe Porper Ring Fright... you can do it naked as the key case is on the table or in spectator's pocket, your trouser or shirt pocket or anywhere.

No reels, pulls, Ttips, nuttin' honey.

Ahhh Pete...don't tease us.
Gaetan Bloom's version can that too.I bet you came up with a better solution than that *classical* TT.

Yeah, but then my clients would demand a refund. Plus, I'd look really stupid wearing my holdout.

Depends on where you attached it.

Here's a game you can play, mentally. What couple (man/wife) would you least like to see naked?

Email Joe Porper at http://www.porperoriginals.com and get on the list. Plan A is to have 25 sets ready in a week.

BTW Pete. I happen to know that Fred K. did work on (and use) a version of the Ring Flight.
Is this by any chance a bit similar to yours?

Fred K. (Kaps?) If so, no this is very different. A cross between his and Bloom's, but a radical departure in the gimmick. And the KEY, a much improved locking house key that can go on/off a cord. Makes the old one ala folding coin obsolete.

Thanks. Yes, I did mean Fred Kaps.
He had a reel-less version too...

Bongers did it with sleights only, right.

Did you ever see him do my ring on stem of wineglass? He did it at least twice on TV specials. I'm working on a one man standup routine.

Of course I did see it Pete.
I did see most of what he did, even in his earlier stage.
I recall somebody well-known mentioned (I think it was Wittus Witt) he hadn't seen earlier certain routines on the FK-DVD from Dick K., like the soap bobbles/champagne glass (DVS cone and ball routine).
Well, I did see it all...life!
I also saw the Bro. John Hamman videos (have 'em) taken at Philippe Fialho's place and of course him doing the dancing/floating cork.
What I loved most in his card to ringbox was his mock-pass for controlling the card...pure joy!
And his C&B qirth sponges, Laurie Ireland basics used...simply outstandingly great magic.
Mind you, first time I met him in person was 1959 at Enschede (Holland, where he did the vanishing chandelier at the end of his show. That was the one thing most disliked, but otherwise...THE GREATEST! Without any doubt.

Oh BTW, one thing bothers me. When seeing the DVD and the soap-bobble stuff, I must admit he does palm the *balls* so relaxed I can't surpress the thought that he might have used a loop-ball. Try to have a look at that passage...it's simply so incredible.
But the thought he had used a loop-ball is *perverse*.

What a *******.
