I have always been a sucker for rings/ coins to impossible places. I have plenty of ring flights, reeled and non-reel versions, nested box, nested wallets, the list goes on. My last purchase for a ring flight was Nicholas Einhorn’s Pro-Flite which was very good.
When David Regal’s Ring Chain came out, being a ring flight junkie, naturally, I have to own it. And I’m glad I bought it. Though this item is a bit pricey at a retail price of US$69, I still think it is worth it.
The effect is basically a vanished ring appears threaded on the chain you are wearing around your neck. The chain is kinda thick and looks masculine, so no problem for male performers. You can wear the chain without any hindrance. The length of the chain is just nice and it stays hidden when you wear them inside your shirt. There are no clothing restrictions, thus you can perform the effect in any clothing. The chain is made of good quality stainless steel and will last you a long time. There are no mechanical parts and the construction of the chain makes performing the effect a breeze. The only difficulty which some people may face is the way to vanish the ring. It will take a while to make the vanish look smooth but any vanish will do, a simple fake put will do the job.
Usually, when I buy something, I will keep the box in case I want to sell it later. For the Regal Chain, I threw away the box as I am very confident I will never part with it. In fact, I am thinking of getting a spare one. If you are on the fence for this item, I’d say go ahead and get it. If you don’t own any ring flight, it’s time to get one, The Regal Ring Chain is a good one to start with. Highly recommended!
Rating 4/5.
