linking rings

Connected metal circles

Linking rings are a classic magic prop consisting of solid metal rings that appear to pass through each other, linking and unlinking in the magician's hands.

The trick relies on at least one secretly gapped ring among several truly solid ones: She performed the linking rings at the birthday party.

The illusion dates back centuries and remains a staple of stage magic.
