Transform Your Close-Up Magic with Dan Garrett’s Signature Routine

Dan Garrett’s career took off with this captivating routine, performed countless times for both magicians and audiences. It remains a top choice for informal settings, walk-around performances, and table-hopping magic.

This engaging three-phase routine utilizes a simple rope and a borrowed finger ring. The first two phases showcase seemingly impossible penetrations of the ring as it slides off the rope. The grand finale features a stunning visual where the ring magically jumps back onto the rope, leaving spectators astonished and delighted.

Required props include a 20-inch length of 1/4-inch cotton rope (ideal for most magicians) and a finger ring.

Produced by Meir Yedid Magic in 2024 and directed by Tony Chapek, this routine originally debuted in 1991 as part of Dan Garrett’s Close-Up Connivery. The video runs for approximately eleven minutes and has been AI enhanced for superior HD viewing.

“Over the years this routine has become one of my all-time favorite close-up effects. It has gained me recognition worldwide. The final phase has won two originality trophies.” …Dan Garrett
