Key points
ProLink is a two-phase routine with an optional kicker ending (vanishing the ring onto your finger).
The effect requires no gimmicks or gaffs—just a borrowed ring, a bill, and an optional paper clip.
Works with any paper currency, tested across multiple countries.
Preparation is minimal (under a minute per bill), making it ideal for everyday carry (EDC).
The routine involves folding a bill in front of spectators and clipping it (optional but recommended for added conviction).
Visually linking the borrowed ring onto the bill—no hidden moves or sleights, just a clean, impossible penetration.
A second phase where the ring "melts" off the bill, doubling the astonishment.
The paper clip isn’t necessary but enhances the illusion by framing the bill as "sealed."
Angles are the only real concern—practice to avoid exposure.
The first phase is so strong that spectators often demand an immediate repeat, making the second phase almost essential.
End clean: Hand out the bill and ring for examination.
