The old Russian Rings Routine seems to being now sold as Rainbow Rings out of China. But, some rings have six rings.

Is anyone performing either of these today? How do they differ - if any?

Rainbow rings is crap because the rings are cheap card stock and they have too much friction to be suitable for performance. Another run of Laflin's Russian Rings was produced about two years ago and while not quite as nice as the first run, which came out a long time ago, the new ones are fine for performance. The trick is pretty but it lacks a kicker.

I use it to explain what happened to the evening news when the three major networks shifted to entertainment over actual news reporting.
