Linking Rings Presentational Ideas
1940
The Jinx (Issue 115)

Edward Victor The Chinese Rings - Author’s original method of presentation eight-ring routine,
“Two advantages in the method here described are:
  • (1) That each ring is examined by the audience as the effect proceeds, before it is linked on to another.
  • (2) That the first half of the effect is performed without making use of the “key” ring, thus permitting the handing out of every ring for examination at a point half way through the trick.”
1940 ca. 56
Edward Victor Move 1. (Linking two rings.) single ring is lowered to stack of rings in hand and in continuous motion is swapped for ring that is already linked to another
1940 ca. 59
Edward Victor Move 2. (Linking three rings.) similar to Move 1, but ring appears to link onto bottom ring of two-ring chain
1940 ca. 60
Edward Victor Move 3. (Unlinking three rings.)
  • chain of three is swapped for single ring and chain of two
  • subtlety that it is still linked, then show unlink
  • chain of two swapped for two singles, then unlink
1940 ca. 62
Edward Victor Move 4. (“Matter through matter”.) false knot tied around ring with handkerchief
1940 ca. 66
Edward Victor Move 5. (“Do as I do.”) classic “rotary”-movement link
1940 ca. 68
Edward Victor Move 6. (Linking five rings.) two linked rings in hand are linked to three-ring chain in other
1940 ca. 69
Edward Victor Move 7. (The travelling ring.) top ring of chain is dragged down through all rings and is unlinked at bottom
1940 ca. 70
Edward Victor Move 8. (A bunch of keys.) all rings linked onto one ring, all rings are apparently shown separate to end
1940 ca. 71
