Random I-Tunes Song of The Moment: Miracle by Jon Bon Jovi

Borrow a finger ring . . . ***POOF*** it's gone. Meanwhile, the spectator places her hand on your chest . . . she kind of feels something beneath her hand under your shirt. You then carefully remove your dog tag chain . . . spectator's ring is there. You carefully and fairly remove the chain from your shirt showing the ring clearly linked on. You then remove the ring from the chain and give it back.

It looks that good and is that clean. If you like the effect - I do - you'll be very pleased with your purchase. It's very expensive, so you have to decide if the effect (as seen in the trailer) is worth the price for you. Meanwhile, I can tell you about the quality of the gimmick, and feasibility of the method, etc.

You get everything you need to do this effect . . . everything . . . The props are well made and the instructions on how to modify them to fit you are very clear and easy to understand. This is NOT a quick set up. However, you can set it up in the morning before you go about your day and you'll always be ready to do it anytime, anywhere, under any circumstance. The reset is darn near instant. It's just the initial set up that takes some work.

So to be clear:

• Step 1: Modify the gimmick to fit you (one time preparation)
• Step 2: Hook up the gimmick to your clothing (once per day preparation - for days you plan to perform)
• Step 3: Once hooked up in the morning, you can perform all day long with almost instant reset

You can hook it up to work with short or long sleeves. It's very convenient for casual attire (e.g., Levi's and an un-tucked T-Shirt). It can even work with more formal attire . . . it's just a little bit trickier and the reset isn't as instant if you're wearing a suit with a tucked in shirt, etc. The method is very doable; the gimmick is solid and clever. The reset is almost instant in most cases. The only real downside is that the dog tag chain cannot be handed out to the spectator. They cannot examine it. The other thing is that this works best with an un-tucked shirt, particularly for the reset. Working with a tucked in dress shirt, as mentioned above, is still very much doable and just adds the need for a little more privacy when resetting.

Putting all those things together, if you feel the restrictions won't hinder your performance and you like the effect, it's worth the investment. If you're strolling in a shirt and tie, it's still worth it in my opinion. You'll just need an extra moment to reach inside your shirt through the button holes (rather than reaching up under your shirt) to reset the gimmick. If you're planning on doing this in a formal one time setting where you won't be repeating it . . . even better. You can wear the gimmick all day and never use it . . . so street, yet so formal parlor act . . .

The mix of venues this fits in (pretty much all of them) is incredible. This is more than powerful magic, it's a Miracle (Thank you Jon Bon Jovi).

Final Verdict:
4.5 Stars with a Stone Status of GEM!
