Picture this - A spectator's ring is magically plucked off the center of a rope and just as effortlessly thrown back on - without letting go of the ends! In a flurry of non-stop action, the ring takes on a life of its own - it hops and pops, slips and slides, jumps and bumps, moves and grooves. In other words, you can't stop it!

Now for the ultimate con - While everyone's staring at the ring trapped on the cord, it instantly and invisibly changes into YOUR RING! Where's the spectator's ring? Back on your finger! Talk about pulling a fast one!

We know what you're thinking - there's got to be a ton of gimmicks, gaffs, gizmos and gadgets... Nope. Only Greg!

Best of all, the 'security cord' is so cleverly motivated that the audience bites into your premise hook, line and sinker. So put that dirty, nasty shoelace back where it belongs - on your shoe!

String Your Audience Along With

Ring Leader - Greg's 6 phase eye-popping, jaw-dropping, nostril-flaring routine.

Familiar Ring - The classic moves that started it all by such notables as Ray Grismer, Scotty York, Earl Nelson, Jay Scott Berry, Dan Garrett and others.

Ring Master - Put your audience through the ringer with the diabolically cunning moves of David Grippenwaldt - one of magic's best kept secrets.

Fraternal Ring - Grip and Greg put their heads together to come up with some brand new doozies.

Manufacturer Says

There's never been another video like this. This is the most comprehensive ring and rope video ever! With over 30 moves, gags and stunts to choose from, you'll even get rings around your eyes! So, don't be a follower, be a ring leader today!

Please note: When Ring Leader first came out (on VHS), the package included a three foot segment of velvet cord. This was the same cord you see Greg performing with throughout the DVD. Recently, the manufacturer of this velvet cord has discontinued it, and it is no longer available. As a substitute we now include a three foot segment of ribbon. This is an excellent alternative to the velvet cord and allow you to perform all routines in the DVD. We recommend using whichever material best fits your performing style and character.

Why We Carry It

This package includes a ribbon absolutely PERFECT for performing the routines taught on RING LEADER!! Since all of the routines you'll learn use a non-gimmicked "rope", we recommend choosing whichever material best fits your performance style and character.

ALSO INCLUDED is a Ring.

READ THIS Report this review
9Mercury48 from Greece on January 15th, 2012
the ideas and the routines are really good. well, it takes some practice(more than usual)to find a complete routine that suits you and master it. there are two reasons I give it only three star:
-First, it is quite expensive.
-Second, the dvd could be a bit more helpful at some points. you are probably going to understand every routine but sometimes it will be quite difficult...
All in all, if you are willing to practice it a lot before you try it in public, give it a try

Excellent Report this review
Verified buyer Nick from Chi-Town on January 3rd, 2011
Wilson goes a little fast in the explanations, but after watching the DVD a few times, it is easy to perform the effects. He gives you so much material to work with. You can easily pick 4 or 5 effects out of the batch and make your own ruin that fits you best. Excellent buy!

Excellent Report this review
Greg Gelb from Cape Town, South Africa on May 7th, 2012
I wrote a post earlier about the fact that I got a ribbon instead of a cord, but after actually practicing the routines, I find the ribbon to be easier to use. I decided to find a rope/cord and I actually found it harder to work with. So the ribbon is a fantastic substitute.

I did find that some of the explinations are rushed a bit and as a result I had to slow it down and rewind multiple times. So thats my -1 star.

Otherwise it very very entertaining and laymen love it!

great Report this review

It seems a bit expensive at first but you will definitively get a working ring and string routine out of this

No plush cord Report this review
Verified buyer Carl from Los Angeles on February 8th, 2012
Some have commented that it comes with a cheap ribbon instead of the plush cord as advertised. True, but don't let that stop you. This is one DVD that goes extensively into many, many moves you can perform. It was very well thought out and very well explained. I gave it a shot with the cheap ribbon, and kind of like it. Because the ribbon is flat, it lends itself well to hiding the debth of a cord that is doubled. The DVD is worth every penny, with or without the cord.

a break from the cards Report this review
Greg Gelb from Cape Town, South Africa on January 11th, 2012
Wilson says it right: this is a break from the cards. The challenging thing is teaching your fingers the new sleights but once you get it down it is great fun especially when you really use the spectator's ring at all costs.

I must agree with a previous comment: it is misleading when Greg uses a fancy beautiful cord and we get shop-bought ribbon. For the price I feel a cord like Greg's could have been provided. you can still perform the phases with the ribbon but I do find it a bit too lite for me and I need to adjust.

Otherwise thumbs up.

Professional rope is replaced with cheap ribbon Report this review
Jark Mann from Irvine, CA on November 22nd, 2011
Probably Penguin won't let this review in as I am sure they don't want sales to drop. When you watch the video you can see that Gregory is using a professional looking rope with this purchase. Instead of the rope you get Christmas wrapping ribbon. It looks like someone just took off a piece and cut it. In my opinion it just takes away from the trick. In the DVD he even says he doesn't use a shoelace because it doesn't look professional and that is why you get this nice fancy velvet cord.... which you don't. The Video is a bit misleading. Excellent video of sleights, just disappointed in the blue ribbon. :(

A bit over priced Report this review
Verified buyer Bear from Detroit, MI on September 23rd, 2011
The slights are typical ring on string routines. Good video, but a bit over priced.

The Best Report this review
Anonymous from MA USA on August 8th, 2011
This is one of the best things I have ever purchased. It teaches you fantastic ring and string sleights that are easy to do, don't look awkward and work. I didn't have any idea how to do any moves before this DVD then after watching a few times I had an AMAZING complete routine. Most instructional DVDs cost less but this deserves the price tag because it is solid gold.
