Ring String And Ding Author: Paul Hyland Average Rating: Category: Close Up Media Type: DVD Retail Price: $20.00 Manufacturer's Description: "The best ring and string routine I've ever seen; it's more than a routine, it's an act -- a fantastic piece of close-up theatre - superb!" - John Carey
Inspired by Bob Miller's Relentless Ring & String Routine, Paul Hyland refines classic moves and adds new ones to develop the theatre of the ring and string effect in a new way. Among his innovations are an amazing in-the-spectator's-hands ring release, a convincing display of a spectator's ring on the lace when it's really almost off, and a plot which employs the bell as a zany prop to get attention, generate laughs and win the audience over from the start. The performance can be cut short or interrupted as required; after any one of a number of climaxes, it leads to a wonderfully offbeat finale. Welcome to Ring, String And Ding!

Now that I've said something somewhat nice, or at least neutral, let me tell you about this product's flaws. I had trouble getting the disc to play. Regular DVD players balked at the disc, but my Mac was able to play it fine. Once I got it running, I found its organization lacking with few useful chapter marks. While watching the video I kept pausing it to answer knocking at my apartment door until I realized that the sounds were actually... [Read More] |
