used to wear mine alot but the "gold" left a green stain and the silver one used to leave a grey stain on my finger... I've also had to replace some store cards/fuel cards as the magnetic strip stopped working on them (for some strange reason :wink: )
Otherwise comfortale to wear and a couple of knock out effects using them. I do like mine.
Also had a lot of fun attempting to get one engraved. Long story short if your considering this then don't - it doesnt work.
:lol:

I make a habit of keeping mine in my watch pocket, to date nobody has ever noticed the fact that I don't normally wear finger jewelry.

And to think I was just thinking about engraving one.... At the very least jackleg, that's a pint I owe you!

I kept mine on for a while before I broke it, but it kept sticking to things!

I need a larger one cos my fingers have put on a bit of weight.

But when I could comfortably wear my current one for extended periods of time, I did. I was just very concious of the fact I had a big magnetic field in my hand and made sure I didn't reach for my change or such whilst wearing it.

Please Miss, me Miss, I do!!!

However having encountered the usual problems of coins etc sticking to it when I really don't want that to happen and completely screwing up hotel keycards etc, I also wear a 'normal' stainless steel ring (from Argos - £3.99!) just to get peeps used to seeing me with one. When required a swift changeover to the PK variety and Bob's yer Uncle... or whatever.

I only wear mine if I am going to use it, nobody have ever noticed that my wedding ring changes, (and they look nothing alike) even at work or with friends I can switch rings and nobody notices.

Sam as Bmat (Except im not married)

i just wear my normal ring on my finger, and if i decide to use my PK (which isnt very often atm) Then i switch it.

no worries.
never been caught. (Apart from my mum once who said: "where did you get that ring from James" - 'Had it ages mum, look your watch has stopped!')

:-D

I bought one, put it on and it got stuck. Lots of butter and a hacksaw later, it came off. Curse these sausage fingers!!!!!

So, did you cut off your finger or the ring? Of course I am assuming ring, but I've met magicians who would sooner cut the finger off. Of course they also are in the habbit of cutting off thier nose despite their face.

It was indeed the ring. My finger resembled a boiled turd so the ring had to be sacrificed, I'm afraid.

laughing, I've never boiled a turd so I don't really know what that would look like, but I get the picture, thanks for the lasting image of a boiled turd though.

I am sure my co-workers are wondering what I am laughing at.

I bought one, wore it at a couple of gigs but never really usd it. Now it's sat in the drawer doing nothing. I might get a reprise soon however, I've got a nice idea that it's work perfectly for.
