New Programme, Ring, and Envelopes Magic Trick

Effect

1. A ring and a programme are borrowed from the audience.
2. The programme is torn in half, and the performer uses one half to make the ring vanish and reappear inside a series of envelopes.
3. The ring is hidden within the innermost envelope, which the volunteer opens to retrieve the ring.
4. The performer repeats the trick with the other half of the programme and returns the ring to its owner.
5. Finally, the performer squeezes the broken envelopes, transforming them back into a complete programme.

Props Required

1. Ring (borrowed): Used as the main object of the trick.
2. Programme (borrowed): A regular programme torn for the effect.
3. Magic wand: Used to divert attention and add flair.
4. Set of envelopes: Two sets of nested envelopes. The first set contains a dummy ring, while the second set is designed to hide the real ring.
5. Thin tube: Used to drop the ring into the innermost envelope in the second set.
6. Right pochette: A pocket or hidden area to discreetly hold and retrieve props.

Preparation

1. Prepare the First Set of Envelopes: These envelopes should be sealed securely, with a dummy ring inside the innermost envelope. This set is hidden in the right pochette.
2. Prepare the Second Set of Envelopes: This set should be open at one end, with a flat tube inside, positioned to allow the real ring to slide down into the innermost envelope. Ensure that the tube fits loosely for easy removal.
3. Extra Programme: Keep a complete, untorn programme hidden in your pocket for the final reveal.

Performance Steps

Part 1: Vanishing the Ring and the First Set of Envelopes

1. Borrow the Ring and Programme: Request a ring and a programme from the audience, establishing that they are ordinary items.
2. Tear the Programme in Half: Tear the programme in two, emphasizing that this is part of the magic.
3. Prepare the First Set of Envelopes: Place half of the torn programme in your hand with the ring. Secretly switch the real ring for a dummy ring using the wand for misdirection, a classic sleight of hand.
4. Produce the First Set of Envelopes: As you squeeze the programme, swap it for the prepared set of envelopes in your pocket. The audience will believe that the programme has transformed into envelopes containing the ring.
5. Reveal the Ring: Hand the envelope set to the volunteer, who opens each envelope to find the dummy ring inside the innermost one.

Part 2: Repeating the Trick with the Second Set of Envelopes

1. Place the Real Ring: While the volunteer is focused on the first set, discreetly drop the real ring down the tube into the innermost envelope of the second set.
2. Prepare the Second Half of the Programme: Using the second half of the torn programme, follow similar steps to place it over the hand, and squeeze it up while swapping it for the second set of envelopes.
3. Allow the Volunteer to Discover the Real Ring: Let the volunteer open each envelope to find the actual ring inside the innermost one. Return the ring to the owner.

Part 3: Restoring the Programme

1. Final Transformation: Gather the torn envelopes from both rounds. Secretly swap them with the complete, untorn programme hidden in your pocket.
2. Reveal the Restored Programme: Squeeze the envelopes and reveal the complete programme, ending the trick with a magical restoration.

Tips for Success

• Master the Ring Switch: Practice the ring switch thoroughly to ensure it looks natural. Using the wand as a distraction can help divert attention away from your hands during the switch.
• Emphasize the Seals on the Envelopes: To increase suspense, make a show of the envelopes being sealed. This makes the discovery of the ring feel more authentic.
• Engage the Volunteer: Allow the volunteer to participate in revealing the envelopes to create excitement. Their reactions will amplify the effect for the audience.
• Smooth Restoration: The final programme restoration should be seamless. Keep the replacement programme in a way that allows you to swap it smoothly for the torn envelopes.
