Maxello Magic

The magician asks for the loan of a finger ring, from either a lady or gentleman. lt is quite immaterial if the ring is of unusual design; in fact, it is better if you have a ring of this type offered, so there can be no question of any substitution of the ring. ONLY ONE RING IS USED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS STARTLING ILLUSION.

The magician need not touch the ring at all. He picks up and shows a plastic, ring box. The lid is opened, and it is seen that inside is a velvet-covered foam cushion. The spectator himself can place the ring into the slot on the cushion where it presents an attractive appearance. Immediately, without any phoneylooking moves, the magician closes the box, giving this to someone to hold.

Hands are shown empty, and you pick up and display a beautiful red-transparent crystal, threaded on to a plastic cord. The crystal appears semi-transparent, and hangs in the center of the cord, completely away from the magicians hands. Suddenly, to the amazement of all, the crystal IMMEDIATELY SHATTERS INTO PIECES, and there in the very center, threaded on the cord, is the actual borrowed ring! The spectator who is so closely guarding the ring box opens this up and FINDS NOTHING AT ALL!

Everything can be examined - parts of the crystal, the ring box. NO-ONE WILL EVER DISCOVER HOW THE MIRACLE WAS ACCOMPLISHED.

The above is an exact and true description of the effect. Nothing has been left out. The trick is easy to do, and requires only practice in the handling to enable you to perform it to complete perfection.

Make no mistake. This is a GREAT trick. No replacements are ever needed. You can use it over and over again. Everything is well made of high-quality plastic.
