A baffling ring through rod penetration that is completely examinable and a real working fooler.
The magician starts by presenting a group of items designed in a rustic rune covered aesthetic. A box with a front panel that opens is shown from all sides to be completely empty. A metal rod with two large nuts that screw onto either end is shown to be solid. Lastly a mystical rune covered ring is introduced and shown to the audience as solid and in one piece.
The box is closed and the rod pushed through the center of the box. The two nuts are then screwed onto the rod from either end locking it into place. The ring is then held over the top of the box as the performer explains that they will now drop the ring into the box so that it hits the rod within. The ring is dropped, the audience clearly hears a “tink” as it hits the rod, but they don’t hear the ring hit the floor of the box. The front of the box is instantly removed to reveal the ring dangling right on the center of the rod, having penetrated itself onto the rod. The performer now loosens the nuts on the rod without completely taking them off and is able to slide the rod up and out of the box to reveal the ring stuck on the rod and locked between the two large nuts. It is not impossible to remove the ring without first unscrewing one of the nuts from the rod. The performer can now hand all the pieces out to be examined leaving the spectators completely baffled as they hold the ring locked onto the rod in their own hands.
