The Meaning of Illusion from Joe M. Turner

Here is an entertaining excerpt from Atlanta magician Joe M. Turner.  He is a great corporate entertainer and contributes much to magic circles like I.B.M.

In particular Joe M Turner has a great handling of the “ring on rope” effect.  This is a classic of magic, but without the proper handling it is not very entertaining.  Ring and rope effects can be on all different stage levels – closeup using finger rings and shoe string, larger rings but still close-up (like this trick from Fantasma Magic) or even as a stage effect like Joe performed above.
