Looks like you have your work cut out for you already, but you might like a ring on rubber band routine.

My favorite DVD is:

PINNACLE by Russ Niedzwiecki

Also some nice moves on this DVD:

BAND-IT by Kris Nevling

I have a Ring Casket from Viking Magic that blows people away. Borrow a ring, vanish it however you chose, and it ends up in the ring casket. I have someone hold the ring casket before the ring vanishes to make it really convincing!

Dan Fleshman's Finger Ring Off Rope is an excellent magic routine. If you are looking for more then a quick trick, this routine is one of the best.

Bob Miller's Relentless Ring and string routine is very good as well.

I also suggest the booklet from Magic Inc. "Jay's Jinking Rings" it is excellent.

You may be interested to read this forum as well.

The title reads like this is an emergency or worse! I can't see why you are asking for more resources with all that you say you just purchased already. Surely you haven't been through all of those yet?! Personally I think that you have all you need to go quite far with your ring magic. I know that I have a tendency to jump around too much when I have a few too many books/DVDs sitting in front of me.

I would suggest that you first go through Ring Thing and Ring Leader before looking at anything else. Both have a lot of great teaching and routines you can work on. Then I would look for Bob Miller's Relentless Ring and String ebook and DVD combo. With just those you can be performing very nice ring magic in no time. (Well, maybe not "no time"... Smile )

Ha ha!! not an emergency just enthusiasm!! Been doing bizarre, street hypnosis and card tricks for 20 years yet always wanted to do something sleight of hand based that could be done at the drop of a hat without pulling out a deck of cards or a weird smelly old box! or getting someone stuck to the floor or forgeting there name(though all of these are awesome!!) lol

So I thought long and hard and after a years of failing with coins (still can't bloody classic palm coin!!!) I realised I love rings!! I wear loads of alchemy gothic style rings and thought hmmmm whats out there.

So six months ago I bought the list I made above and have been like a sponge since then soaking it all up!!

But as I am new to this I thought a question to the experts would help......which it has....I never realised you could do so much stuff with rings, Pinnacle looks good and other stuff by Marcus Eddie

Love the Ring Thing, love de'ring, love David Jays Ringmaster and spent a few months on those already.

The others I am dipping my toes into.....

Thanks for your responses

http://www.markleveridgemagic.co.uk/merrs.php I've been using a version of his ring-on move, that I modified many years ago.

http://www.wizardhq.com/servlet/the-5302......s/Detail This is a nice book. I'd refer you to the Magic Methods site, but the font sizes are all over the place, making it nearly impossible to read.
