Magic tricks using rings. Recommended tricks for parties and performances (1–10)
A magic trick where your pinky disappears when you bring a ring close.
It’s a magic trick where, as you swiftly bring a ring toward your pinky as if to slip it on, the tip of your pinky appears to vanish.
The secret is very simple: at the moment the ring approaches, you just bend your pinky so it can’t be seen from the front.
The way you hold the ring and how you align it also matter—make sure the ring and your hand surround the pinky well enough to hide the bent tip.
If you maintain that position too long, it becomes easier to spot, so it’s important to clearly show the vanished state but then quickly release and reset the hand to keep the flow convincing.
The ring transforms into a coin!
It’s a fascinating magic trick where a coin turns into a ring in an instant, and the ring and coin keep switching rapidly.
The routine is simple—just moving a coin and a ring around in your palm—but the way you grip and conceal each item is crucial.
It’s also important to match the colors of the ring and coin; by unifying their colors and coordinating your hand movements, it becomes hard to tell whether it’s a coin or a ring.
Be mindful of swift actions that don’t reveal the concealment, as well as eye direction, hand angles, and other subtleties.
The ring slips off the string.
It’s a magic trick where a ring that should be tied to a string somehow comes off.
In reality, a special way of tying makes it look like the ring is easily removed.
Since it also lets you practice the knot and hand movement techniques, it might be a good choice for beginners who are starting to perform ring magic.
Magic tricks using rings: Recommended tricks for parties and performances (11–20)
A magic trick where a string passes through a ring
This is a magic trick where a ring that was supposedly threaded onto a string somehow ends up off the string.
The method is a bit complex and there’s a lot to remember, but it can really get a big reaction when it works.
Be careful when borrowing a spectator’s ring.
A magic trick where a ring penetrates a rubber band
It’s a magic trick where a ring penetrates a rubber band or a cut rubber band is restored.
The method is a bit complex and there’s a lot to memorize, so practice can be tough, but when it goes well it really excites the crowd.
It’s also great as a quick party trick.
The ring that remains in my hand
Stack two drinking straws and fold them together around the middle.
Slip a ring onto the folded section and have someone hold the ring and straws together in their hand.
Then, when you pull the ends of the straws sticking out from both sides, only the straws slide out smoothly, leaving just the ring behind.
You’d think the ring would catch on the straws and come out too… but it doesn’t.
It’s puzzling.
Ring finger escape magic
Among ring tricks, this one is quite beginner-friendly, but with good handling you can make it look as if the ring has teleported.
In reality, the ring is already removed at the first stage, but it’s hidden by the remaining fingers, so from the front it appears to be penetrating through them.
