You never bend down or go anywhere near your shoe at any point during the effect. The same borrowed ring in your hand is the same borrowed ring that ends up hanging from the loop of your shoelace seconds later!
What To Expect:
You will learn how to cause any borrowed ring to vanish and appear tied to your own shoelace! You receive all the props, plus a full length DVD featuring all the moves, tips, handlings and subtleties. Get ready to blow away your audience with Interlace The miracle ring on shoelace.
Comes complete with props, DVD and 24 page, photo-illustrated booklet
What You Get: All the props necessary, a full length DVD with instructions on how to set up the one time prep, how to work the interlace system and 10 mindblowing routines that knocked my bloody socks off when I realised the potential of this!! Also, a booklet which covers the setup and a basic routine.
Opinion: As I mentioned somewhere else, when I opened the package, and layed all the props down on the table, I burst into a fit of laughter, a reaction I dont recall ever having after a purchase.
Disappointed?? Not at all!! I just thought '' Richard Sanders, you are GENIUS!! '' . The props included are well thought out and designed, the DVD is as clear and concise as you can hope for everything is covered in as much detail as you need.
There is a set up, around an hours worth, maybe more maybe less, depending on you as an individual. But the set up is a one time set up that will last you for as long as you wish it to.
The instructions can be quite clearly gathered from the accompanying booklet, the main part of the DVD is obviously the included routines. I wont cover all of them but just the ones that I will probably use.
The classic vanish : this is the one seen in the demo. Using a magic marker, vanish a borrowed ring and it is somehow seen tied to your shoelace where you have been NOWHERE near the entire effect.
Flash Finish: A flash paper handling that will really fool you visually and psychologically!! I love this one. Im a pyro-maniac now. Anyone that works with flash products know the kind of reactions this will get.
Visual Voodoo: A no prop handling where you use nothing but their ring. After a series of amazing vanishes and reappearances (included on the DVD), you finish with the ring appearing on your shoelace. This is great as there is a flurry of vanishes and reappearances in a 15 second sequence and BAM!! its on your shoelace.. WOW!! the mind boggles..
Ring and String: This is an absolute killer way to end a ring and string routine!
Imagine an amazing ring and shoelace routine (included on the DVD) that ends where the ring supposedly penetrates back onto the shoelace in the spectator's hand. The spectator sees that the ring is not there, you pause and say, very slowly, "NOT THAT SHOELACE." You look down at your shoe and this is when you start to hear the SCREAMS and the "NO #&%$@ WAYs" because their ring is actually on the shoelace on your shoe! It doesn't get much stronger than this. The mother of them all, a great ring and string routine and the above says it all.. I can see this getting some really incredible reactions!!
Reset is a breeze, its instant, which for working magicians is a dream as there is no running to the bathroom of bending down behind a table to re-adjust. you clean up and reset in front of your audience while they react so you can walk to the next table and group and you are ready.
There is also a way to do this without all the setup. Personally, I think a little of the drama is taken away, but it does mean you can actually perform this in swimming trunks if you were so inclined.
** edit .. there is also two nice routines using Richards 'Any Ring' handlercheif, which I subsequenly ordered as its a nice little hanky and it would be great to use with interlace **
Pros:
Easy to perform
Almost as easy to set up
Instant Reset
Pocket management not affected - your pockets are free to use as normal.
Cons:
One.. I would like to be able to set this up to use with smart and casual wear. though it comes with props for both, the main prop is just singular, so I would need to buy interlaced again or make my own, which I dont know how to.
Overall:
Nothing like what I imagined it to be, this is a killer principle that will blow you and your audience away.
I have not performed it yet, but have thoroughly studied the booklet, props and watched the DVD 3 times already. You will have so much fun with this and for the working professional.. its one of those closers you HAVE to own as your spectators will remember you forever!!
It looks impossible, it is impossible.. its a borrowed ring tied to your friggin shoelace !! And you didnt put it there !!
9/10.. lost one mark because I need another one. Or is that just want..
** edit * I just been on the Sanders website and you can buy the extra gimmick Im after for just $15.. bargain!!
]
still a 9 though ..
- I don't need any bleedin' vecro for *that*, thank you so much!!)
and that is still cool, but I like the idea of not going near your shoes at all !!
