This is a very animated close up effect using a 3 inch solid brass ring and a red velvet cord.

A series of penetrations occur visibly giving the impression that the cord melts through the brass ring.

The finale to this close up routine is having the ring threaded onto the cord and a pocket mirror (included) is positioned atop the ring in such a way as to create the illusion of the cord penetrating the ring.

The illusion becomes reality as the mirror is moved away revealing the cord has penetrated the ring once more!

Includes 4 pages of instructions with 23 illustrations by Bob Schrouter a King Features leading artist. A Doug Bennett effect from 1984.
