5 out of 5

This clever item created by Floyd Thayer first appeared in the Thayer Catalog No. 5  c. 1921 and although the props can be thoroughly examined both before and after the effect this little miracle is easy to do.

There is one simple switch but it is done when their guard is totally down and there is zero heat on you.  The practice required is to make the actual appearance under the hanky as quick as possible – you want to try to avoid to be under there for too long 🙂

I will say this is the second Thayer prop I have added (the previous one being Baffo) requiring a borrowed ring and the ad copy completely ignores the fact that the ring being used is actually switched.  Maybe in the 1920’s everyone had pretty much the same wedding bands?  These days you would be better offer just using the provided rings and not bother to switch them, unless you know for sure your ring is very similar.  It still looks like a miracle because everything can be examined.
