SleightfulspRing! by Joonas Mengel Review
In 'SpRing!' by Joonas Mengel, a ring visually penetrates a coil, creating a puzzling yet intriguing effect. Steve Faulkner reviews the trick, sharing his mixed feelings—while he appreciates its cleverness, he finds it leans more toward being a puzzle than a magic trick. Audience reactions were often focused on solving it rather than being amazed, and the need for spectators to handle the prop afterward limits its theatrical potential. Steve prefers linking ring routines for their versatility and stronger impact, giving 'SpRing!' a modest 5/10 rating.
