I know more or less how it works but would love to read the routine. The twilight part is great. Matt http://home.earthlink.net/~prestochangeo/

I lost the manuscript, still have the ring (durn, I dropped it recently, and it cracked - though it was about 15 years old...) and I have the red felt ribbon. It was a great effect. You might be able to find the manuscript around since many magic shops often have a bunch of older books, tricks and manuscripts lying around waiting to be rediscovered.
Harry Murphy Inner circle Maryland 5454 Posts	Posted: Mar 23, 2003 12:42 pm 0 The trick was called “Bewildering”. It was indeed a Doug Bennet invention and looked great on the Carson show being performed by Doug Henning. It is part of the New Stars of Magic Series (Vol 2, Number 2) published by Tannen’s Magic. It is still sold by Tannen’s of New York City and comes with everything you need. It is a sit-down effect and not the easiest to learn and perform but once learned, you have a very magical routine. The artist formally known as Mumblepeas!

Harry, Can you help an old guy out, please. I went to Tannen's and did a search under "Search by Magic Trick Name" for "Bewildering" and I was unable to find the item. A search under "Key Words" for "ring off rope" did not achieve any better result. Would you post a hotlink to this item, please. Thanks a lot. Turk Magic is a vanishing Art. This must not be Kansas anymore, Toto. Eschew obfuscation.
