Ring Swing by Sirus

Effect

Ring Swing is a modern version of the classic ring on chain effect. The trick involves a ring visibly swinging and moving on a chain in impossible ways. The routine has four phases, each building on the last. In the final phase, a spectator appears to make the magic happen themselves. The effect is visual, quick, and interactive, making it ideal for close-up performances.
