The demo video is amazing. Yigal is great. The gimmick is beautifully made and works perfectly. You're going to want to buy one. You might even fork out the $75. But I'm guessing you won't ever perform it.

Let's be honest. This is a toy. It's a really cool toy. But once you see the hookup, get over you fear of thread and realize how much work it's going to take to make this look good, my guess is that you'll put it in your magic drawer and forget about it.

Of course I wish this weren't the case. And for a few of you, this could become a "reputation maker." It's really amazing magic, if you're willing to put in the work.

But I don't want to scare the rest of you away. You'll find that there are some other tricks on the DVD that you might be more likely to try. There's a moving bill, an animated pen and a version of the Haunted Pack that, while not self-working, aren't as difficult as the floating ring.

So before you buy, consider your motivation for buying as well as your desire to practice until you get it right. If you just want a toy to play with or are willing to put in the work to get it right, then this will be a great addition to your collection.

Check this out: You're in a normal setting - maybe a coffee shop, a classroom, even a party. You borrow a friend's ring and hold it very fairly - nothing to hide. Suddenly, you give it a gentle horizontal spin and slowly move your hands away - the ring is now floating. Imagine that it continues to spin - without you touching it! The ring hovers up and down above your hand, from one hand to another, and slowly lands on your own finger! Now get this: You instantly repeat it, and end up with the ring floating onto the spectator's own finger! Sounds impossible? Believe it or not, it's easy to master! This levitation has it all. It's fun, mysterious, edgy, and leaves a strong emotional impact.
