Ring To Impossible Location

Effect

The Ring To Impossible Location trick makes a borrowed or magician's ring vanish and reappear in an impossible place. The ring might end up inside a sealed envelope, a participant's pocket, or even the magician's wallet. The effect is visual and surprising, leaving the audience wondering how the ring traveled to an unreachable spot.

Full details

The trick involves a ring and a chosen location where it will reappear. The magician can use a string for an initial routine, then transition to the impossible location finale. The ring vanishes cleanly and appears in a place the audience can inspect, such as a sealed envelope or a participant's personal item. The method is practical and does not require complex setup, making it suitable for impromptu performances.

Who should consider the trick

Magicians who perform close-up or walk-around magic will find this trick useful. It works well for all ages and can be adapted for different performance styles. Those who already use ring magic, such as The Ring Thing or ring-and-string routines, will appreciate adding this as a strong finale.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The trick requires basic sleight-of-hand skills and some practice to make the vanish and reappearance smooth. The method is not overly complex, but timing and misdirection are important. Magicians familiar with ring magic will find it easier to learn.

What magicians say

Chris Edwards mentions using Ring To Impossible Location as a finale in his ring routines. He describes it as a strong visual effect that works well after a ring-and-string routine. He prefers making the ring appear in a sealed envelope inside his wallet, which adds an extra layer of impossibility. The trick is practical for everyday carry and fits into a streamlined performance set.
