Ring flight / flying ring

Postby Ed Wood » Oct 4th, '07, 21:08



In my seemingless endless search for the perfect ring routine, floating, disapearing etc, I'm now considering the classic ring flight (to key ring case). I had a cheap version some years ago that didn't last five minutes. Can anyone recomend what is the best out there. I've looked around and see I can spend anywhere between £10 to £100 for essentially the identical trick. Any recomendations before I put a further dent in my hard earnt overdraft?

Mark Leveridge sells a version that doesn't contain the usual gimmick.

Not as flashy, but much more reliable.

As for 'classic' methods, I have a cheap version that I bought on eBay ('Another Flying Ring'), which has served me well for the few weeks I've had it, but I have Mark Leveridge's version too - and I mix my ring revelations when table hopping, having a range of places that it could turn up (brass boxes and Northbound for example). It just means that the people on neighbouring tables don't get a peek at any big surprises before I get to them. :)

Pete....Sounds like the Mark leveridge version has possibilities. I'm definately looking towards rings appearing in a variety of places, all in all I'm looking at a five minute ring routine.
And to go waaayyyyy off topic, out of boredom I just had a brief look at your website, strange coincidence to see your one of the people behind punker vision...I need that Tim Barry DVD and I was watching the NO Means No one earlier today, after seeing them in Brighton on Tuesday. I should probably PM you about this as people might get cross....so, eerr, yeah, Ring Flight, do I spend £10 or £100 or just get one of each :D

And he's been selling it for more than 20 years. I bought Mark's Fly-Ring from him when he visited a hotel I was working at in Harrogate in the mid 1980's. A very practical and usable prop which I'd completely forgotten about and haven't seen in years, It's probably still lurking in a drawer somewhere... I'll have to dig it out!

How about Interlace? A bit different to the norm and much stronger IMO.
