The trick in a nutshell
Handle the chips and rings deftly, and thanks to a clever trick and the right positioning of the elements, you’ll make the chip vanish right before the audience’s eyes!
The routine
- Place both rings on the blue mat. Place the larger blue token, face up, into the ring with the recess. Place the smaller token in the ring without the recess, also face up. Turn the ring with the larger token inserted so that the design faces downwards – this will make it blend perfectly into the background of the cardboard mat and become invisible to the audience! Place a card (from another trick in the set) on top of it.
- Next, place the ring without a recess on top of the card, leaving the small token on the mat.
- Place both rings together with the card on the smaller (red) token. Remember that the ring with the larger token inserted must completely cover the red token. Say the magic spell.
- Gently lift the card together with the ring on top of it. The small red token has vanished!
- In reality, the red token is covered by the ring with the inserted token, to which a larger token of the same colour as the mat is attached. Thanks to the matching colour, everything blends into the background and the spectator doesn’t notice anything suspicious.
