You borrow a ring. A man's ring or a woman's ring, it doesn't matter. You don't even handle the ring. You bring out a ring box. The lid is opened & it is seen that inside is a velvet-covered cushion. The spectator places the ring into the slot on the cushion. You close the box & hand it to a spectator to hold.

You show your empty hands & bring out a translucent red “crystal”, threaded on to a plastic cord. The crystal appears semi-transparent & hangs in the center of the cord, completely away from your hands. Suddenly & without warning you shatter the crystal on a table & there in the very center, threaded on the cord, is the borrowed ring! The spectator who has been holding the ring box the whole time opens it up & FINDS NOTHING AT ALL!

Everything can be examined - parts of the crystal, the ring box. EVERYTHING.

ONLY ONE RING IS USED

The above is an exact description of the effect. Nothing has been left out. The trick is relatively easy to do & requires only practice in the handling to enable you to perform it to complete perfection. Can be performed surrounded.

No replacements are ever needed. You can use it over and over again.
