Advanced Links

Two Moves That Look Like Real Magic

Imagine linking two solid steel rings together without making a single "clink" or sound. It looks like the metal just melted through. Then, you pull a ring off your own wrist and it's suddenly locked onto the others before it even leaves your hand. These are the kinds of moments that make people stop and stare.

How These Links Work

Most ring links rely on a loud "clack" to hide the moment of penetration. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to bypass that. The Silent Link uses a specific diagonal movement and a loose index finger to let the rings pass through each other quietly. You aren't just slamming them together; you're sliding them through a hidden path that looks impossible from the front.

The Wrist Link is all about a clever grip. You start with rings hanging on your arm, and by simply pulling one away to the side, it links automatically. It’s one of the most visual ways to start or middle a routine because the link happens while the audience thinks you’re just getting ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this hard to learn?
These are called "advanced" because they require more coordination than a basic link, but the mechanics are simple. If you can hold the rings comfortably, you can do these. Julio breaks the movement down so you can follow along step-by-step.

Do I need special rings?
You’ll need a standard set of "Ninja Rings" or small close-up linking rings that include a "key" ring (the one with the gap).

What skill level is this for?
This is perfect if you already know the basics of the linking rings and want to add some "wow" moments that other magicians might not know.

How long does it take to learn?
You can understand the method in about five minutes. To make the silent link actually silent and smooth, you'll want to spend about 20 minutes practicing in front of a mirror.
