The Effect

In the middle of your conversation you are asked to demonstrate something interesting but you do not want to bring out your deck of card and other stereotypical 'tools' of a magician. Instead you decided to demonstrate the power of belief to your clients using your necklace... Both the diamond pendant and the necklace are separated for the clients to handle AND held by the spectator at all time. Yes, you do not touch them at all throughout the entire effect!

You patter about how impossibilities can be overcome with the power of mind. If one can believe oneself and insist on believing until the very last moment, everything in life will eventually fall into place when the time comes.

In an blink of an eye, the pendant links into the necklace in midair from the spectator's very hand. With some basic skill of cold reading, we guarantee this can be one of the best investments for a serious performer in life. What does a tasteful prop, meaningful presentation, and opportunities for you to really know and get close to your VIP clients worth? Priceless

Difficulty

1-not quite self working but so easy to do

Review
This caught my eye as i was searching for my next investment.As a casual perfomer i liked the idea of this ring being used as jewellery and would be with me at all times never knowing when it would be needed ,and not taking up precious pocket space like so many of my other tricks.
I was already familliar with the mechanics of how this works and had known the original version as 'chained',but to my frustration i never had 100% success rate and on occasions looked rather silly.But what did appeal to me was that 'you do not touch them at all throughout the entire effect!' and a much improved sucess rate.This is missleading as you will need to touch and help the ring onto the chain ,although your involvement is minimal.The handling/presentation for the ring is very good and should be used other wise save your money and buy the original 'chained'.With my first performance with the infinity ring i found myself having 5 onlookers,the response i recieved was amazing and to date no one has noticed my involvement.
As for its looks it may not be every ones taste wearing it as jewellery.Its alittle on the large side and diamonds! don't do it for me .But then i don't have my shirt buttons undone to my waste nore would i wear it on the outside of my clothing, so i think once it is revealed the more bling the better.



Overall
6/10 if used as over priced prop saying 'look what i can do'
8/10 if used as intended using the recomended presentation

Seems a high price for (what I think) is an old trick. The ring looks great but it's a lot of money. Admittedly, with the right presentation it's a nice routine. I've done something like it at a wedding (I'm a toastmaster) using a large gold ring (symbolising wedding ring) plus nice chain (symbolising the journey through life) and with a flick, the ring is 'bonded'.

Lots of laughter when the groom tries (and fails).

I suspect it's the same routine, and I'm not knocking this product - but it strikes me a pricey.
