Was looking for ring magic recently and i stepped across this http://themagicshop.com.au/product.php? ... 281&page=4 , wanted to know is this better then the mercuring? as in can show both sides? or is this just another rip of from the magic makers?

It looks like a rip. Other than the Mercuring effect, it seems to include some mediocre sleight of hand and a version of (I think his name is...) Garett Thomas' "The Ring Thing".

I know Ben Personaly and he really is a great magician. Those clips unfortunatly were not great. He is a really nice guy and will be glad to answer any questions. He also is not a hard sell type of person and he is a great resource. If you want to ask him details about the video I'm sure he will be happy to answer.

Thanks bmat, i have nothing against him, i do agree he is good. I own his modern coin magic dvd's which i really like. I will email him thanks alot

I just found this The Ring Thing by Tank
Hmm i can't make out what the magic is thruogh the description. But guessing since its impromptu its not gimmicked/gaffed. Does anyone have this and enlighten me on what the effect is? Is it just the same as the Ring thing by garrett?
