Secret of the trick: When tying a knot in the center of the rope, leave a loop much larger than the ring. Place the ring on one end of the rope and hold the ring and rope together.
Holding the ends of the rope with both hands, throw the ring into the loop (or drag it along the arrow). At the moment when the ring enters the loop, tighten the rope, and the ring will be tied in its center.
Insert the rope ring into the eye of the key and hang it on the upraised thumbs of both hands for the viewer to see. Remove the key from the rope ring without throwing it off thumbs viewer's hands.
The secret of the trick: Grab the rope closest to you (one of the parallel ones) on both sides of the key with both hands, connect the captured parts of the rope in one hand.
Holding the key with your other hand, place these pieces of rope over one of the spectator's thumbs. Pull the key towards you and it will come off the rope.
Place a ring (or small hoop) in the very center of the table that is not covered with a tablecloth. Hand the audience a piece of twine and ask them to put a ring on it. You cannot touch the ring with anything. If the spectator does not figure out how to do this trick, take the twine and put the ring on it yourself.
To do this, slightly lift the edge of the table, allowing the ring to slide one third beyond the opposite edge. All that remains is to pass the twine through this part of the ring and pull the ring off the table.
Hand the spectators the nickel-plated ring and the thin rope and have them examine them as closely as possible. Then take the ring back and it will disappear in your hands with lightning speed. Ask them to tie a rope around both your wrists. When the audience complies with your request, you make a subtle movement to make the ring appear hanging in the middle of the rope between the tied hands.
Secret of the trick: Using a suitable distraction, very quickly and quietly you put the ring on your hand and raised your hands up. The ring slid down your arm into your sleeve, where you held it a little, pressing it to your side with your elbow, until the moment it should appear.
After your hands are tied, in the same way, under the guise of a distracting movement, release the ring and let it slide down your hand. Bring your hands a little closer and the ring will jump off your palm onto the rope with which your hands are tied. The diameter of the ring is selected so that it does not pass with a straightened palm, but so that it jumps completely freely from a bent palm.
Tie a piece of rope with a ring. Place this ring on the hands of one of the spectators. Invite him to modify the position of the rope, in other words, to make the ring a figure eight without removing it from his hands. A “volunteer” most likely will not be able to do this. Then you will do this on his own hands, without removing the ring.
And it's easy to do. Upper part lower the rings down, wrap them around the bottom one, lift them up and from the same side put the part on one of the hands. Remove the first loop from this hand. The result will be a figure eight.
With your hands tied
Place your hands behind your back and have them tied so that you cannot free them. Let the ring borrowed from the spectator be placed in your mouth. The audience names which finger and hand you should put the ring on.
Move out of sight of the audience for a few seconds. When you show up, the borrowed ring will be on your index finger!
Secret of the trick: When you are hidden, move your hands to the left so that your right palm is in such a position that when you turn your head to the left, the ring will fall on your right hand. Now, in your hands, putting the ring on your index finger (or any other finger) will not be difficult. To do this trick quickly and quietly, you need to practice a lot.
Show the audience objects that have no secrets: a small colored ring (wooden or plastic) and a piece of rope. In front of everyone, put the ring on the rope and tie it in the center of the ring with some kind of intricate knot. Stretch the ends of the rope and pass them to the audience to hold. By grasping the ring and making a few subtle movements with your fingers with the knot, remove the ring from the rope!
The secret of the trick is tying an “intricate” knot, as it may seem at first glance; there is nothing complicated about the trick. This type of tying allows you to remove the ring from the rope, the ends of which will be in the hands of the audience until the very end.
The method of tying is clear from the picture. Pass one of the ends of the rope, already tied with a simple loose knot, into the ring, and then along the arrow. As a result, if you now tighten the resulting “knot”, you will get a loop on the ring, threaded into the ring and encircling both parts of the rope. As soon as such a loop is slightly widened and a ring is passed through it, the “intricate” knot will disappear, and the freed ring will be in your hand.
A ring locked in a rope loop is released, although the viewer is holding the rope.
Focus props: any ring and rope.
Trick Secret: Get someone to help you practice before performing the trick. Tie one piece of rope into a loop as shown in the picture. Place a ring on this rope at one end of the loop. Place both ends of the loop on your assistant's fingers, but not too tightly. Take a piece of this rope and make another loop on the finger on the opposite side of the ring. Make sure you place the second stitch below the first stitch on your finger.
Take the original loop and carefully lift it over your finger. Have a helper pull the rope. As soon as he does this, the noose will untie. The ring will fall even though the rope is still on his fingers. Practice a few more times before performing this trick.
Through the lace
Thread a string through the key and ask spectators to hold the ends of the string. Place a scarf over the key and place your hands under the scarf for a few seconds. Remove the scarf - the key is tied in the center of the lace. In front of everyone, release the key - remove it from the cord right in the center.
Secret of the trick: You had a duplicate key hidden under a scarf. Place your hands under the scarf, holding the duplicate key in your hand. Since nothing is visible under the scarf, attach the duplicate to the middle of the lace with a loop.
Hide the original key in your left hand. With your right hand, lift the handkerchief, revealing the duplicate key to unsuspecting spectators. Slide your left hand along the lace and hold one end of it in your hand for a while.
Immediately give the end back to the viewer, managing to remove the original key with your left hand and put it in your pocket along with the handkerchief. Then grab the duplicate key and completely remove it from the cord.
Tie a knot around the matchbox. Pass the end of the lace to your left through the case.
Remove the resulting “knot” from the case and hide it inside. Then stretch the lace to the sides and the knot in the case will disappear.
Tie a regular knot in the center of the rope, and tie the rope itself with the knot in a ring. Slightly stretching a regular knot, put it on your thumbs and sharply spread your arms to the sides. Before everyone's eyes, this knot will disappear, although the rope ring will still remain connected.
The secret of the trick: The knot did not disappear anywhere; when you stretched it with your fingers, it simply moved and closed with another knot that tied the ends of the rope. From the outside, two nodes located next to each other can easily be mistaken for one, so it seemed to the audience that this node had disappeared.
If you did everything right, the viewer will never guess what the secret of the trick is
Which ones exist? tricks with chain (thread) and ring? What things are needed to perform this type of trick? What is the secret of the “magic” of the chain and ring, and what skills do you need to have in order for the “magic” to work without the audience revealing the secret?
Tricks with chain and ring, with thread, with rope there are several. And they are all distinguished by their fascinating simplicity and the fact that an ignorant person will never guess their secret if the magician did everything right.
You can surprise with such tricks anywhere. The “performance” takes very little time and requires a minimum of props, and the audience remains.
Chain and ring trick
One of the most popular. In addition to the chain, rope, lace and other similar things are also suitable. And a ring-shaped thing of any size.
Let's look at how the "representation" works if we use chain .
- First you prove that there is no trick in any detail of the prop.
- Next you need to fasten the chain (if it is a rope or thread, then make a knot at the ends or just hold the two ends in your fist).
- While holding the hoop suspended, move the chain inside it a couple of times, and then, when you hold the circle closer to the clasp (but not directly at it), sharply unclench your fingers.
- The prop element falls, but the chain itself forms a knot and prevents it from falling.
Exposing the ring trick on video:
What is the secret of the ring and chain trick?
Things are really the most ordinary. The secret is in the trajectory of the fall:
- The circle must be held in a special way.
- For one piece you hold thumb, the opposite part lies between the index and middle fingers.
- The chain should barely touch the rim in a certain place.
- And then you let go thumb, and the hoop, falling, makes a revolution around itself, twisting the decoration into a knot.
Important! You shouldn’t demonstrate “magic” to your friends if you managed to do everything right a couple of times. To ensure that the mystery is not unraveled and mistakes do not occur, a lot of training is needed.
Thread and ring trick
Don't show things too close to the audience - they might guess what's wrong Another popular one is with a thread and a ring. The ring is put on a thread, which is slightly inclined, and the ring “itself” rises up.
What is the key to “magic”?
It's very simple. The thread along which the hoop “rides” upward is not at all what it seems. This is a very tightly stretched elastic band. So if you don't want the audience to suspect a trick, it's best not to let them see things up close.
- For everything to work out, the tip, which is located higher, must be held between the thumb and index finger, and in the other hand from the opposite end, leave a small supply of elastic and hide it in your fist so that no one can see.
- You tighten the elastic, lower the one that should rise, lower and then slowly begin to release the elastic from the end where you have a reserve, while maintaining the tension. The elastic band compresses and stretches, and the ring moves up.
That's why it's needed exactly the elastic band. Firstly, nothing slides down it. And secondly, it can shrink and stretch.
Important! If you do not want to be declassified, you need to do everything very carefully. Therefore, before performing, practice at home in front of the mirror. The movement of the rubber band should be smooth and invisible to others.

Another trick with a thread and a ring
This trick requires a thread or rope and a round thing with a hole in the center.
A hoop (or similar thing) is tied to a rope, which is pulled taut and then pulled, and the prop “pops” out of the knot, leaving the rope completely unharmed without ties.
The secret is How to tie a knot:
- You thread the rope through the ring, pull it tight and turn it 360 degrees so that the rope twists through it.
- The first part of the thread will lie on top of the other part.
- The end that is lower must be threaded into the part from above, so that on the other side the thread is twisted in the same way.
- Then you create tension and pull out the knotted item, at the moment of the jerk, slightly loosening the tension, and it itself jumps out of the knot.
Even the most complex ones often have a very simple secret. And with a little practice, anyone can learn to surprise the public with them.
Very often at magic performances, including in the circus, magicians use props such as metal rings. What kind of ornate figures they build from them! All this looks very exciting, bright and lively. Therefore, this item has not gone out of magical fashion for centuries. We will look at how these tricks happen and whether it is possible to do this yourself.
External effect of the trick
alt="Ring trick" width="300" height="244" /> Волшебник демонстрирует зрителям обыкновенные металлические кольца. Затем ловко перебрасывает их с одной руки на другую и обратно. Подходит близко к публике и затем действует по следующему плану.!}
- Offers any person two interlocking rings and asks them to separate them. Of course, no one can do this.
- The magician himself, easily playing with all the rings, instantly separates this pair.
- Then he begins to do very interesting things with the props: connecting them into a beautiful chain and separating them into links, juggling, building from rings geometric shapes and simply asymmetrical patterns.
- Again he gives props to any spectator so that everyone can be convinced of their continuity (two of them). And also that they are really metal.
This concludes the focus. The audience is delighted, and the magician seems to be a very talented and dexterous magician. Everyone is interested in only one question: how did he do it?
The main effect of the trick is that the magician is under the direct observation of the audience. After all, everything happens right inside the audience.
Required details
What do you need to acquire to learn how to perform this trick just as deftly and beautifully?
- Metal rings in the amount of six, maximum eight pieces.
- The dimensions of the props should not exceed 25 cm in diameter.
- Demonstration table.
- Jacket for a wizard.
You can order these rings
One of the purchased circles must have a slot. One into which other metal circles can be freely inserted.
For a greater external effect, it is better to purchase colored or nickel-plated props. Such circles will be more beautiful and shiny.
The secret to performing the trick
The “Magic Rings” trick contains only one secret: a ring with a slot attached to the inside of the jacket, which the magician can easily quickly detach and include in the trick. Thus, it is possible to construct both figures and connect them into a chain.
Perhaps everyone in childhood believed in magic and took tricks in the circus or at street performances at face value. As I grew older, my skepticism became greater, and the tricks no longer seemed supernatural. However, you must admit, I always wanted to know how a magician levitates in the air or how a woman “cut” in half remains safe and sound.
1. Soaring fakir
A popular levitation trick is often practiced by street magicians. But in reality this is nothing more than a cunning trick. The whole secret of levitation lies in a clever design, the base of which is hidden under the rug. The main support is the staff, which connects the lower support to the seat. It is almost impossible to see the structure behind the magician’s voluminous robe, so the trick looks very impressive and is still very popular to this day.
2. Zigzag Girl
The secret of one of the most popular stage tricks lies in the flexibility and abilities of the magician's assistant. A girl climbs into a box with unusual holes. When the magician moves the central part of the box, the girl arches her body, while her arms and legs remain in a position as if she were standing upright.
3. Sawing a girl
Previously, the trick with sawing a girl made spectators tremble with horror and wait with trepidation for the moment when the assistant comes out of the box safe and sound. However, over time, the public realized that there was a catch in the trick and that no one was actually being sawed. The thing is that the magician's box consists of two parts and there are actually two girls too.
4. Trick with a bill and a pencil
Tricks with money always delight the audience. But most often they have nothing to do with magic. Most often these are just deft movements of the magician and small tricks. For example, in a popular trick when a magician cuts a banknote using a pencil, the main tool is a pencil, or rather its halves connected by magnets. With a deft movement of his hand, the magician places the edge of the bill between two magnets and carefully extends the pencil.
5. The disappearance of the coin
A simple and at the same time effective and very popular trick with the disappearance of a coin can be seen in the circus or at children's events. Moreover, anyone can learn to perform such a trick. To do this you will need a white sheet of paper, a coin and a transparent glass sealed with paper. To prevent guests from seeing through the magician ahead of time, the glass should be kept upside down on a sheet of paper.
6. Michael Jackson Tilt
At one time, Michael Jackson was a true icon, impressing fans not only with his vocals, but also with his dance performances. Thus, the famous 45-degree tilt, which was demonstrated by the singer himself and his entire troupe in the video for the song “Smooth Criminal,” created a real sensation, although in fact it turned out to be just a well-thought-out trick. The whole secret of this tilt was hidden in the heels with special holes and metal pins that moved out of the stage at a certain moment.
7. Rising ring
Another trick that anyone can master. To do this you will need a ring and a regular rubber band for money. First of all, the elastic band needs to be cut. Next, we put the ring on the elastic band, and hold its ends in our hands so that the hand below is left with a long tail. Hide it discreetly in your fist and slowly release it, the elastic band will lengthen and the ring will rapidly creep up.
8. The disappearance of the glass
Another trick that practicing magicians often show in their performances. The magician covers the glass with a napkin, moves it for a few seconds, and then sharply lifts the napkin, under which there is no longer a glass. The secret of the trick is extremely simple: at a certain moment, with a deft movement of the hand, the magician swipes the glass into a special bag attached to the table, or onto his lap if he is sitting at the time.
9. Flying Pencil
Can you move objects with your palm? No? You can learn right now. To do this you will need the following props: two pencils and wrist watch or a bracelet that fits tightly to the hand. One pencil should be hidden behind the watch strap and with its help you should pick up the second one lying on the table.
