Not to difficult to find

I just voted a 'yes' to this poll, because I have Mercuring, and it's phenomenal.

OK, so it's not the easiest effect to perform, but from the few reactions I've had so far, I'd say that even after a few hours practice in front of the TV, I've already managed to fool some of my most hardened critics!

I will wholeheartedly give the Mercuring a 10/10, but just bear in mind that it's not an 'out the box' effect... it will take confidence, faith and a lot of practice for it to work.

just remember that just by wacthing one person do it, dosen't mean its easy, which it's not to easy

and if you have big fingers they haven't got one big enough for you. I hear they might have in the future, but you will have to wait.

That is true... but I have relatively big hands, and it works fine. Plus, the 'Larger' version is actually on the site, so it must be imminent!

BUT ITS DEFINATELY A GIMICK RIGHT like scotch and soda is a gimmick rather than a process like an emsley.

i don't mind puting in the work but i supose it would be difficult to quatify the amount of work needed.

Answer: Yes and no. It's a gimmick in as much that you receive custom made props with the effect. But it's also a process too. The two can't really be separated.

The actual ring which is supplied is a solid, machined aluminium ring. It can be handed out, and thoroughly inspected BEFORE and AFTER.

It is the sleights involved, plus a little bit of confidence, which makes the effect so convincing.

I have large hands, very large and to give you some perspective the bang ring from a set of Marvin's dymanic coins (10p version just in case there are any others) is a comfortable fit for my ring finger.

I therefore doubt that even the large ring that is advertised will fit me so my question is to ask if this effect can / could be performed on someone elses fingers, or would this give the secret away?

Therefore, I think the Large version may be big enough...

And yes, there is a phase of the routine which happens on the spectator's own hand.

thanxs seige i'll put it on my list.
