"I love the visual impact, simplicity and flexibility of this effect. It is truly an 'anytime, anyplace' super magical effect." -- Jay Sankey
"It's so practical and packs such a punch, I'm going to be carrying this one around for a long time." -- Acar Altinsel, Penguin Magic
The Effect The wonder-worker introduces a finger ring. Claiming it's made from "stabilized mercury" the performer hands out the ring for examination. A moment later, the magician flicks the ring spinning into the air and then impossibly catches it on the very TIP of his finger! The ring is then slowly slipped onto the performer's third finger. The spectators are asked to watch very closely. Without a single suspicious move, the mysterious ring is seen to MELT RIGHT THROUGH the base of the third finger and onto the base of the pinky! And again the ring can be examined.
Finally, the ring is slipped onto a SPECTATOR'S finger! For maximum security, the spectator tightly holds the tip of his/her finger, but a second later the magician pulls the ring right through the finger!
Manufacturer Says Each MERCURING is hand-machined and
polished for a lifetime of professional use. The beautiful ring can be examined before and after the impossible penetration. The package contains the ingenious special equipment + 6 pages of instruction teaching three different effects.

The trick is cheap, it will tarnish and simply is not Sankey's best work. I am not saying "don't buy it," I am saying I wish I had not. I was disappointed when I opened the package, and it got worse from there.

This is a very fun effect to perform. This is definitely not a trick where people will scream and run out of the room, but I have had many jaw drops. I figured out how this was done before I bought it, so there were no major surprises.
The one thing I was most disappointed with was the quality of the ring, but then again I only paid around for the trick so I can't really expect something really nice. They feel a bit light, which is the reason I dropped a star.
Great effect, I'd highly recommend it.

When I saw the demo video of this trick, I thought, "WOW, AMAZING!" Jay also says "ready for a LIFETIME of use". When I first started performing it, I liked it, but after a week, scratches came and my ring dulled in color. VERY misleading. I thought it would last forever on what Jay said. Bad purchase.
