How to put a borrowed ring on a rubber band | Saturday Sorcery Kyle Purnell tutorial
This tutorial, part of Murphy's Magic's "Saturday Sorcery" series, features Kyle Purnell teaching his innovative borrowed ring and rubber band effect. Inspired by Russ Derr's "Pinnacle" and Danny Garcia's "Rubbermaid" routines, Purnell sought to create a routine that combined the visual beauty of Garcia's work with the impossible feel of Derr's. He emphasizes the importance of framing the effect and creating clear visual progression for the audience, particularly in close-up magic where the focus should be on impossibility. Purnell details the precise finger movements involved, including the initial setup, the "Straight In" movement, the "Hidden Knot," tension release, and the final display. He recommends using a man's wedding band for the final phase to avoid visual distractions and stresses the need for meticulous practice and quick, clear transitions during performance. Ultimately, Purnell's routine is presented as a sophisticated and visually compelling take on a classic effect, encouraging viewers to adapt it to their own style and explore the "Saturday Sorcery" playlist for more free tutorials.
