Ring Theory Report this review Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 23rd, 2014 This is one of the best ring magic tutorials, I learned almost all the moves and I've gotten not good but absolutely great reactions. I like it because if someone can do it right off the bat it's magic but everyone can do it . These tricks are a bit trickier and harder to learn but very worth the money. I would highly recommend this to people who are into sleight of hand. 10 of 11 magicians found this helpful.

Underwhelmed Report this review Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 30th, 2014 Despite all the hype for Ring Theory, I found this to be a warmed-over version of De'Ring by De'Vo. If you're just looking for some cool ring flourishes, the dvd is fine (although the teaching is not great and there is only one camera view used). Antoine's "money" moves for having a ring instantly appear on the hand are VERY similar to De'Vo's and in several instances, not nearly as deceptive. Not much new here, especially if you already own De'Ring. I found more useful moves and ideas on the dvd Ringja by Nie Te. 6 of 6 magicians found this helpful.

Dextarity Required Report this review Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 1st, 2014 The accent made it hard for me to understand and digital flexibility required ( I am 69 ) just don't have it.



The video instruction is great and helped with understanding. 4 of 4 magicians found this helpful. Do you want to Did this review help you?Do you want to respond to this review? 4 of 4 magicians found this helpful.

Spectacular Effects, Serious Fun for Practice Junkies Report this review Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 23rd, 2015 (This review is for Ring Theory by Antoine Thomas This is an outstanding DVD for people who love to practice. If you're serious about learning magic with finger rings, get it. If not, don't. If you think you're going to order this DVD today and be doing these tricks at the party on Friday, you're probably in for a shock.



Even the 'most basic move' on the DVD- more of a utility move than a trick- will probably take you at least a couple weeks of fairly diligent practice to get presentable. At one point Antoine recommends that you stop practicing to rest your hands if they start getting sore. I think that's how serious this video assumes you're going to be about learning the material.



The manipulation is sensitive to things like the shape, material, and weight of the ring, so odds are you'll find yourself buying at least a few rings (hopefully cheap) before you find one you want to stick with. No, it doesn't come with the gear ring, but you can find them online and they work great.



That being said, if I had to name my ten favorite magic tricks to practice, eight of them would probably be on this DVD. If you love to practice manipulation the DVD has some absolutely spectacular tricks and will give you the vocabulary to start putting together your own tricks and routines.



In most cases the effects are instantaneous and entirely visual. They're hidden with technique rather than misdirection. There's so much material that you're bound to find at least effect that will leave you obsessed with being able to do it as well as Antoine.



It's a dry video. Antoine's accent can make the narration difficult to understand sometimes. He comes across more like a college professor than a magician in the video- direct and to the point. There's no performance footage with audiences. It's really just the intro you see in the preview then Antoine lecturing and demonstrating.



I love this video so much I almost don't want to recommend it to people. I don't think many people have seen ring tricks or the sort of speed that's possible with them. It's also worth mentioning that most coin tricks will work with good rings. 3 of 3 magicians found this helpful. Did this review help you? 3 of 3 magicians found this helpful.

Had one thing I'll use... Report this review Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 18th, 2015 Had one thing I'll use and according to my old teacher who studied with Blackstone, "That makes it worth the money."



There's plenty of detail on the DVD, so learning is not a problem. The format and Antoine's presentation style makes it deadly hard to watch, so you won't watch this one for fun. 2 of 3 magicians found this helpful.

Brilliant! Report this review Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 25th, 2014 I absolutely love ring magic so I guess that makes my review somewhat biased. That being said, if it's a dvd or download to do with a regular ring you wear on your finger I probably have it, and I have to say if you were to purchase only one thing on ring magic, THIS is what I would recommend. (Although I don't believe you can know too many tricks for something that takes up no pocket space at all, is completely impromptu and can be inspected or even borrowed from a spectator in some cases.)



If you're familiar with ring magic there might be some stuff you already know but Antoine has come up with some very unique applications for some of the sleights you might already be familiar with as well as a number of flourishes and stuff you've never seen. 2 of 4 magicians found this helpful.
