Hello, I finished making my "Impossible Ring" yesterday. I used balsa wood and finished it with faces of playing cards on all sides and a Joker on the front sliding panel. As for the workings, I used a few very strong circular magnets in addition to the "flap" which catches the ring that is dropped into the top of the cabinet. It works like a charm, and is one of my favorite magic props that I have made in my 47 years of being a hobbyist. Thanks again for sharing the video instructions on how to make it! Cheers!
I just found this channel, nice tricks you have. For this one, it might be neat to make the truck face some form of funnel so the actual ring tunnels to the correct spot. The hardest part is droping it hard enough without falling through but i think with a bit of clever design could be done. Like a thin card to stop it at the right place but easily bends out of the way when you pull the front off of it. But very nice gimmics you have.
This video is perfect. First the effect or the performance, then the construction and finally the explanation. The black rod shows very nicely against the red backgrounds. I would paint the exterior in some other color rather than black. By the way. Even I don't like card tricks.
Hi and thanks for your educational and informative channel. A suggestion - rather than use inches and the exact metric conversion, tidy up both sets of numbers, ie 3" is about 75mm and 7" is about 180mm. Unless there is a need for a very precise measurement. Keep up the great work.
Finally, something very useful to include in an routine, I was looking for a video like this teaching how to make own props,. Thank you very much for sharing
Don't teach Magic on the internet! The first rule of magic is a magician never Reveals His secrets! And it's getting harder and harder to perform when 6-year-olds are saying oh I've seen that on tiktok, if you are a real performer that's getting paid thousands of dollars you will be upset about this
Excelente esta página, Que bueno que enseña con todos los detalles para la fabricación de estas ilusiones, estas cajas siempre me han llamado a atención el secreto que encierra, el mecanismo como funciona, bueno para quienes nos dedicamos a realizar shows de magia, Felicitaciones !!! Me suscribi, Esperamos siga incorporando nuevas Ilusiones y la Fabricación de las misma , mucho Éxitos Congratulations!!!
A wonderful illusion with a simple solution, but this simplicity is what fools us. Excellent! I will be constructing this for sure! I've seen the exact same illusion selling for $200 Canadian. Thank you, and I have subscribed to your channel.
Thank you for this video. I've seen this done on a much smaller scale in another video, but I very much appreciate you making it in a size more in liking for a performance in front of a group of people.
You will never be able to do this in confidence in front of someone, these people are coming on here and ruining magic if you wanted to know how it's done you should have went to a magic store. But these amateurs are out here destroying Magic for likes on UA-cam
@@davidshareefChTPhD Actually, I disagree - heavily. If showing how magic is done was destroying magic, then there would be far, far fewer magicians than there are now, as all magicians would be protecting their secrets as if they were the end-all-be-all of existence. Also, if showing how tricks are done is destroying magic, then magic would have been fully destroyed after about 3-4 years of the Magic: exposed series with the masked magician giving away all the secrets (just for ratings). If anything, showing how these tricks are done, forces the real magicians out there to step up their game to keep ahead of the crowds that are learning the secrets. The magicians can't keep doing the same old tricks for their entire career. Meanwhile, the minor magicians (like me), can still learn magic, despite the fact that we don't have large sums of money to apprentice with a master magician or travel long distances to a magic shop, or even pay exorbitant prices on some of the more "impactful" effects and can still put on a decent show for smaller crowds. So, yeah, I heavily disagree with you.
Very nice! I'm guessing the Kenard box only uses 1 ring, it always looks like they tilt it until the ring is against the side then tilt the stick and pick it up, can you confirm that? Anyone?

Very clever and easy to use. Fantastic for the kiddy shows! I love it!
Don thank you for all you do on your UA-cam videos. I made this with “foam board”. It’s about 3/16 thick and it comes in all colors and easy to cut.
Wicked! Can’t believe you don’t have more subs yet?! Darn UA-cam is a pain.
I applaud your decision making process to choose the color you would paint the inside of the box.
😂😂😂
Btw the red is perfect.

Beautiful trick, explaining

By the way. Even I don't like card tricks.
Looks like an odd variation of Kenard’s Mystery Box! Great effect though!
Amazing effect , excellent tutorial, thank you sir!
Fantastic trick love it

great video, thanks! ~
I just found your channel, and I love it. I hope you make more videos soon, because I have been looking for exactly this kind of content.
Very nice! I'm guessing the Kenard box only uses 1 ring, it always looks like they tilt it until the ring is against the side then tilt the stick and pick it up, can you confirm that? Anyone?
You could also use a magnet on the back, and a metal ring :)
Rather than a box
Yes, that would do it
Amazing illusion did you make up these tricks or just the making of the boxes?
Not my idea, I'm just interested in how a trick works and then how to make it.
Amazing piece of work. By the way, is this how the actual trick works, or is this your own interpretation?
I believe it is the standard way the trick works
Very interesting video, clear and smart. Thanks a lot !
Super natural..man! Abracadabra👌
Thank you. Beautiful explanation. 🧌
