THE AMAZING RING ON STICK - HANKYS!
For some, ring on stick should just be a borrowed stick and a borrowed ring.
No extras.
No dupe rings, no extraneous devices like handkerchiefs. There's a pure joy to the simplicity that provides, and being able to kill with just those two things is a great weapon in your arsenal of strong commercial magic.
HOWEVER
Why not? Why not add extras? If it adds layers of deception, if it adds entertainment value, if it MISDIRECTS from the actual techniques why not try these additions?
As you know I'm a massive fan of 'method maxing', being prepared for any eventuality, and also being willing to complicate the hell out of something if it magnifies the impact of the effect.
This is where the addition of a hanky comes in.
Take a look, judge for yourself :)
