Here we go again, with another example of great Kreis thinking and precision. 'The Perfect Link' gimmick ring is something so precise and its secret invisible that it comes packed separately from the normal ring, the container marked 'Key' as well. The principle isn't anything new but it is one of the most practical and desired principles in the realm of ring magic, and Kreis has demonstrated their thoughts and abilities towards it with this fine example of brass magic wonderment. The strength of this trick lies in the fact that the spectator handles everything, links the ring onto the ribbon and secures the ends before you even come near. They can freely handle and examine the ring, the only way they could possibly discover the ring's gimmickry would be if they were to start tugging on it, but no one does that and if they did it would be your fault in the first place for trusting a maniac with your pretty little magic brass ring. The key spot in the ring is absolutely invisible, brass tension and thickness holding it tightly and securely together during any normal handling. It is even suggested that you mark the key spot on the ring with a pencil dot to aid yourself in locating it during performance. Since you're underneath the handkerchief and making a bow knot this allows you for more time if needed without suspicion arising. I'm telling you, this ring is a thing of beauty and if you're a brass magic collector a must, in my opinion. The trick comes with an identical solid ring which is very easily switched out and tied onto the ribbon, the gimmick ring going into your pocket with the handkerchief. The routine I use and suggest for presentation is one where I talk about Martin Gardner and Stewart James, 2 brilliant magic creators and mathematicians who discovered something fascinating while playing with knots and solid rings. This sort of patter curves the spectator's brain towards thinking more about a math principle rather than you doing something sneaky and expands their reconstruction landscape they will have to traverse in order to figure out how this little amazing thing just happened.
