The Plot
A finger ring (usually borrowed) is threaded onto a soft piece of rope that is typically between 18 and 24 inches long. The ring then magically penetrates the center of the rope, coming off in the magician's hand. Very often this is the first phase of a multi-phase routine wherein the ring is repeatedly threaded onto the rope and penetrates each time under increasingly impossible conditions. There are also techniques wherein the ring can be made to magically link onto the center of the rope (such as Dan Garrett's Faustus Ring Move).
