A card routine reprinted in Art of Astonishment Vol 2 by Paul Harris (1996). Originally appeared as a manuscript in 1977. This routine was the progenitor to Harris's better-known (and much improved) approach to the Linking Cards plot, The Immaculate Connection, which was published in 1983 as part of Tannen's New Stars of Magic series, and performed by David Copperfield on national television.
Original manuscript

Synopsis

The centers of any two cards are openly torn out creating a pair of impromptu "rings." These cardboard rings are linked together. The linked cards are then magically disconnected and can be handed out for examination.
