THE LINKING RINGS—dvd
The Great Classic tricks in Magic are all very simple in method & effect BUT are extremely difficult to build into a flowing, entertaining & magical routine, except over many performances with multi post mortems.
Pete Stedman, a long time professional, has worked on his 8 Ring routine for 40 years and the smoothness of the moves as they melt from one to the next, shows.
This is Comedy & Mystery for everybody; children, adults; playgroups to pensioners! Close Up to Stand Up and it’s all there for you to add into your repertoire.
Based on the Eric Lewis 8 Ring routine in the book, ‘Open Sesame’ (Goodliffe Publications). This is a great routine, though a bit tricky to follow from the printed page.
Pete’s two Adult & one children’s presentations will be soon etched firmly and fairly quickly into your mind & hands, thanks to a crystal clear dvd & his easy teaching methods.
The basic Routine plays for 5 minutes as the young & more mature assisting spectators do much of the linking & unlinking themselves; something not possible with the artistic 3 & 4 Ring Routines.
On this 35 minute dvd you will see 10 chapters covering:
Storage of the Rings.
The Set Up.
The False Count; at one point I thought he was using 8 singles!
The Routine at its ideal pace.
The Routine, slowed down, for you to check your learning.
Various performances to adults & children: do watch the reactions and hear the audience’s laughter & applause
Then there’s pointers on the handling, body movement, the simplified switches & the patter etc.
A 5 Second reset!
Check out the looks of delight, on the assistant’s faces ;even on the colourful dvd cover.
This is an 8 Ring routine you CAN learn, fairly quickly and you WILL use. It combines Comedy with Mystery, Magic with Entertainment.
The cost for all this wonder & entertainment. £15 inclusive of p/p, Obtainable from Pete Stedman: magic@magicpete.co.uk
