When asked to perform for non-magicians in an intimate situation Sol Stone almost always began with this routine. It was a fast ice breaker that let his audience know that he was just going to have fun with them.

It is a two-phase routine using a borrowed finger ring and a borrowed pen (although Sol often used his own). After everything is examined, your friend puts the ring on top of the pen that is in your hand. The ring somehow ends up linked to the pen that is now held by the spectator. After some cute byplay the ring now penetrates off the pen and everything is examinable.

A Meir Yedid Magic Product. Produced by Meir Yedid. Original release date: 2002 (in Sol Stone’s Quick & Casual Close-Up). Running time: Approximately 6 minutes.
