Rings of Truth by Chance Wolf
(c. 2011) (Submit Review) (Submit Update)Chance was inspired by an idea of Jack Hughes that never saw the light of day.
Effect: Using solid Walnut and secret Brass workings on the inside and out. This is a clever mechanical method of divining a secretly chosen ring with NO ELECTRONICS involved and easy to perform leaving you the ability to focus on your performance! The rings use beautiful Zirconia Jewels and real Gold and Silver Plating. The retail cost of the rings alone is near $125.00. The Ring Box was topped off with a beautiful yet subtle Brass Filigree and Solid Brass Feet.
Basic Routine: A story is woven explaining how people lie and the methods of discovering the truth. No matter how good the lie is told, a “tell” is always revealed. It takes a sharp eye to see the truth. The Magician asks to demonstrate his point. A beautiful Ring Box is opened revealing three Rings of different colored jewels. The box is closed and handed to the spectator. The magician turns his back and the spectator is asked to open the box, remove any one of the three rings and place it into his closed hand then close the box. The spectator is asked to place the closed hand with the ring in it over the covered box.
The Magician turns around producing a black silk (included) and immediately covers the spectators hand and box. The spectator is asked to gaze into the Magicians eyes. The Magician begins a series of personal questions picking up “tells” in order to warm up to the final divination. The final question is which ring the spectator chose. The box is uncovered and the spectator opens their hand to see the Magician is correct!
The routine is open for many interpretations and is up to you of course. This is also an excellent way to introduce a Ring into your favorite Ring on String routine!

Beautiful, Clever, Flawless, and Great Value too!
There have been plenty of positive reviews about this latest item from The Wolf Man, so when my unit arrived I was eager to see what all the fuss was about! So often in magic you get disappointed because an effect almost never lives up to your expectations. The good news is when it comes to Chance Wolf this is rarely the case and with Rings of Truth you will be 100% delighted! It is a true beauty. I spent a few minutes trying to look for the gaff when I first received it and nothing was obvious at all. Just a really nice box. I finally broke down and read the instructions … and thought: "Wow this is so much better than I expected!" (In fact I used some stronger words, but this is the gist of what I was thinking!)
The mechanism, based on an old, unpublished Jack Hughes idea, is very clever and works beautifully every time. You can use any rings, or coins, or bills – pretty much anything that will fit in the three slits in the box. It comes with some very fine looking rings, and no expense was spared in creating the whole outfit. First class all the way. There are no electronics or magnets and the mechanism is unique as far as I can tell – I’ve owned quite a few boxes that perform a similar function and none of them get even close to this method.
The other great thing is that reset is a snap and it can be done right in front the spectators without arousing suspicion. Try as you will look for clues you will not find them.
Chance Wolf and the team at Wolf’s Magic continue to amaze and amuse me and I look forward to many new items over the next few years.
A real beauty for Collectors and Performers everywhere. Highly Recommended!

Wonderful Wolf Magic
This is a wonderful and well made prop. It looks incredible and is high quality.. I’ve enjoyed performing this effect at home for friends. The way it works is very nice, mechanical. There are a few downfalls however. (without giving anything away) A- if no ring is removed it is the same as if the center ring has been removed, so you have to ensure the spectator removes a coin. B – Difficult to perform in a darkened environment or if you have bad eyesight. C- the small box needs to be on a flat surface of some kind when the ring is removed. The ring can not be removed from the box while it is in the spectators hand.
Other than that, this is a wonderful piece of magic and I still recommend it. I’ve brought it with me when table hopping at a restaurant and it’s worked very well. The rings that come with the effect were beautiful. I did replace them with cheaper ones when taking this table hopping however. It also works with bits of paper notes or currency bills.
