Mobile by Tatta Latta

MOBILE is a procedure for close-up linking rings that can be done in stand-up. The linking ring plot is one of the plots that I have studied for a long time for both close-up and stage. In this MOBILE, I explain the procedure that I created with the theme of “I won’t let you chase even with a few rings” for stage use, but replaced it with close-up rings. I mainly explain the technique and procedure using only two rings, but I hope that I can convey through this work that it is a plot that can be fully enjoyed even with a few rings.

*Any manufacturer’s set of four regular close-up linking rings can be used for the performance. I also explain the procedure using all four rings. *I am left-handed, but all the images and names are reversed left and right for explanation. The explanation format is audio commentary.

• ■INTRODUCTION -Greetings.
• ■RINGS -About the rings used. I explain the names of each ring and the adjustment of the gimmick.
• ■BASIC METHOD -An explanation of the basic technique. This is an orthodox linking and unlinking technique that involves rubbing two rings together.
• ■CRUSH LINK -An explanation of the basic technique. This is a linking technique that involves hitting two rings together to connect them, and then removing the rings from that connection.
• ■CLOCK -A variation of the “BASIC METHOD”. This simple technique is packed with ideas to keep the magician from following you.
• ■DROP -The two rings connect as you rotate them, and then the two rings come off right before your eyes. This is a highly difficult but highly esoteric linking and unlinking technique.
• ■SLOW -A method that uses time misdirection. The two rings connect and then come off when you slowly bring them closer together.
• ■PUSH -A special unlinking technique. The two connected rings are removed by pushing them out with your fingers.
• ■2 RINGS ROUTINE -A routine that uses two rings.
• ■4 RINGS ROUTINE -A routine that uses four rings. This routine explains the technique of connecting all the separate rings at the same time, and then how to remove them with unusual handling.
• ■ PALM UP DISPLAY – Bonus technique. A display where the hand holding the key is completely open.
• ■ HEEL HOOK – Bonus technique. A technique to make a ring that has already come off look like it is still attached
