These linking rings are awesome and they work just like I have seen other magicians perform. They do come with instructions and are well made out of steel or something. I was able to perform within minutes and amazed my family.

Ignore the knucklehead who thought one of the rings was broken.

I bought these rings at a magic shop about 5 years ago. Yes, at 4 inches they're small. Yes, they're heavier than the $500 professional grade hollow rings. No, they're not locking. However, for a first set of rings to learn on and to do close-up magic with, they're great! The included routine (if it's not there, just call your vendor or the manufacturer - they'll send you a free replacement) is just right to get you started with the basic linking/unlinking moves, and has a nice, workable patter.

I have found that they are just right for doing close-up magic for kids, and are fully capable of doing all of the same tricks people do with bigger rings (except for hanging them around your neck...)

It is crumby. It came with eight normal gimick-less 4" rings. There were also no directions. When I opened the package, one ring was already broken and another broke within 5 minutes of me trying to figure the trick out. You would get the same results from any other rings this of this size and shape. Nothing. I am not a first timer at these magic items so it is not like I don't know what to expect. I have also seen this trick performed an umpteenth amount of times. I obviously haven't figured out how the magicians do the trick, but I definitely know the desired result. Basically, I was extremely disappointed. This is the second "Adam's" brand trick I have received and so far they are both bummers. I would rate all of the categories 0, but that was not an option.

Ordered these for my 10 year old. I would definitely recommend. The listing says that there are 4 linking rings. There are actually 8. There is one "key ring", 2 single rings, a set of 2 permanently attached rings, and a set of 3 permanently attached rings. This assortment gives a lot of options for performances.

They are smaller than some of the other ring sets that we've seen. I think this is actually a bonus. My son is able to slip his arm in and out of them without any issue. He is working hard on his "showmanship" and I think that larger rings would make this more difficult.

I do not understand the other reviewer's complaint that these can break. They seem very sturdy. I can see my son using these for a long time.
