Ring Extraction Technique

The Old Way

Most people try to do ring-on-string moves with coins and it looks clunky. You end up fumbling with the ribbon or making it obvious that you're just hiding the coin in your fist. It feels awkward, and your friends can usually tell you're "doing something" fishy with your fingers.

The Ring Extraction Method

This technique changes how the escape looks. Instead of a messy knot, you place the coin in your hand and wrap the ribbon around it. With one smooth motion, the coin melts right through the fabric.

The secret is in the "loose grip." Yago shows you how to hold your hand so the coin can drop into a hidden position while your other hand moves the ribbon. Because the ribbon is moving, nobody sees the coin move. It looks like a miracle, but it's actually just clever timing. You'll be able to show your hands are empty or hand the coin out for a look right after it happens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this move hard to learn?
It's fairly simple. You don't need high-level finger strength. The hardest part is the timing, but Yago breaks that down so you can practice it in front of a mirror easily.

Do I need a special coin?
You’ll need a coin with a hole in the middle (like a Chinese coin) and a piece of ribbon or cord. It works best with coins that aren't too thick.

Will people see the coin drop?
Not if you follow the instructions. The ribbon wrap provides all the cover you need. As long as you keep your hand loose like Yago shows you, the move is invisible.

How long does it take to get it down?
You can learn the basic mechanics in about ten minutes. You'll want to spend a day or two practicing the "flow" so it looks smooth before you show it to anyone.
