Magic Video - RINGS by Ben Williams (Digital Download)
Description & Effect
Discover the Ultimate Impossible Souvenir
For the discerning magician who believes in crafting unforgettable moments, 'Rings' by Ben Williams presents a groundbreaking approach to the classic linking routine. Imagine performing a deeply meaningful effect that culminates in an impossible object: two signed card rings, torn and impossibly linked together, which your spectators can keep as an enduring souvenir. This isn't just a trick; it's a tangible memory, a sealed impossibility akin to a ship in a bottle, yet imbued with personal significance.
Engineered for Real-World Performance
In a magic landscape often dominated by online-only gimmicks, 'Rings' stands out as a beacon of practicality and reliability. Ben Williams, a seasoned performer, understands the demands of live situations where re-shoots aren't an option. This routine is meticulously designed to be performed with 100% confidence, ensuring perfect angles and a flawless outcome every single time. Forget the apprehension of 'will it work?'; 'Rings' provides a robust and dependable method you can trust in any real-world setting, from corporate gigs to intimate strolling magic.
Beyond Previous Limitations
For those familiar with past linking card methods, including Ben's acclaimed OCL, 'Rings' represents a significant evolution. While OCL was a triumph of ingenuity, it had its practical drawbacks: fiddly setups, specific glue requirements, time constraints, and limitations on performance conditions. 'Rings' meticulously eliminates all these concerns. It's super practical not only to perform but also to create, guaranteeing that you'll consistently leave your spectators with a perfect set of signed, linked rings, effortlessly and without compromise.
Unforgettable Moments, Guaranteed
The impact of 'Rings' is echoed in the glowing testimonials from top magicians like Alan Rorrison, Christian Grace, and Kyle Purnell. They praise its impossibility, its excitement, and its suitability for professional settings. Liam Levanon calls it 'much more than a trick – it's a moment they will never forget. It's practical, engaging and most importantly – memorable.' Martin Rees, a Guinness World Record Magician, even declares it a 'truly beautiful piece of magic' that he uses at every wedding. 'Rings' offers you the power to create lasting wonder and an indelible keepsake, confidently establishing itself as a new benchmark for impossible object magic.

If you are the type of magician that loves performing magic that is meaningful for your spectators then you may want to read on.
If you are the type of magician that loves performing magic that culminates in creating an impossible object that can be left with your spectators as a keepsake then you too may want to read on.
But if you are the type of magician that loves BOTH of these things then boy do I have a trick for you!
Rings is how I perform a linking card routine where the spectators keep the signed, linked rings as a souvenir. If you see a pair of linked rings you don't even need to see the performance of the effect to see that it is simply impossible, it's like a sealed deck of cards in a glass bottle, it just looks impossible.

"It isn't very common these days for me to get EXCITED about an upcoming release. Everything seems to be derivative of something great that already exists. Rings, however, sparked my excitement in a way that is hard to describe. I felt like I was watching an old school video learning something special. Rings is going right into my corporate strolling set!"

I have always been fascinated by impossible objects, I absolutely love using magic to create strange things that you can give away. If you know my magic you know effects I have released like Labelled, Linko and OCL are all pieces of magic that end with an impossible object that the spectators can keep that frames that moment for them forever.
I don't like gimmicks that give you a sense of 'is it going to work this time' or 'I hope this doesn't break'. The magic world has changed, that is definitely true, a LOT of magic is viewed through an online platform now, there is market for a whole heap of magic that has terrible real world angles and has no need to be reliable as you can simply re-film the performance.
But that is not how I work, I perform to real people in real life, it's not always ideal situations and you can never just 're-shoot' it. So I aim to create magic that suits my performing needs, magic that is practical, reliable and doable in the real world. I am just not interested in creating the new Instagram or TikTok toy gimmick, I want my creations to be performed and enjoyed by people in real, live situations.
I have to have confidence in what I perform and that is what Rings is for me, a piece of magic I can 100% rely upon.

Let's also talk OCL quickly...
Some of you may be thinking, 'isn't OCL your 'perfect' linking card effect?'
If you've never heard of it then don't worry but OCL is a method for linking cards that I am incredibly proud of. It was however born from a challenge I gave myself which was - How do you take one card, tear two rings from it, have them signed and then linked together so they can be kept in their linked state as a souvenir. And it did EXACTLY that, however as a worker, the method has its drawbacks. It can be fiddly to make if you aren't used to it, the setup also requires a couple of specific glues for it to work, then there is a time limit between when you create the gimmick and when you should perform the effect and finally the performance of the effect could not be surrounded and if you didn't perform it perfectly then you don't end up with a perfect set of linked rings.
Rings eliminates ALL of these issues.
It is super practical not only to perform but also to create. Because you know that at the end of the performance you are guaranteed to be able to leave your spectators with a perfect set of signed, linked rings EVERY time.
