I feel that most of the time magicians overestimate impossible souvenirs. For a wedding I can see this works well and it might be smth they keep, but normal people will just chuck it.
Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

I have it. It's clever but I've made up a few and I'm totally not convinced that the spectators won't see the seam. I'm also not a huge fan of the switches and awkward display. I'd rank it 3 stars out of five

Thank you for that honest review! I am a bit surprised Richard Sanders endorses this.

I'm really curious how this differs from Ben's OCL. Because if it's simpler than OCL then I have a hunch the method is going to be VERY similar to Sixten Beme's One Card Link; first published in 1996, currently available in an ebook titled The Replete Card Link.

Worth noting that the Beme method does not recommend handing it out as a souvenir as there is a discrepancy in the tears that might be noticed.

I have it and I don't like it. I posted a review in penguin magic,and after someone posted it was not fair, I contacted penguin magic to delete my Review.
It's not visual. You tear out the Rings, fold the frames together, make a......then!The spectators could sign the Rings. Now you can hand them out as a souvenir. For me not logical.I prefer my own Version and Sixten Bemes one card link.

Probably because the dude endorsed his stuff. Payback maybe.

I consider the magic experience will be their souvenir. They aren't giving me anything but their time and attention.

I love it. I was doing Henri White’s Souvenir, but ironically, tough to take a wine glass home with you. This is the same principal but leaves the spec with an actual souvenir. I love it. Bears repeating.
