Nova Rings by Carisa Hendrix

For decades, the Linking Finger Rings has been one of the most elegant and intimate effects in all of magic. But while the effect is timeless, its methods have always come with compromises-until now.

After years of using existing gimmicks, award-winning magician and creator Carisa Hendrix set out to reinvent the effect for a modern audience. The result is Nova Ring, the most visual, practical, and beautifully engineered version of the Linking Finger Rings ever made.

Three rings are borrowed from your spectators. One by one, you link them together. Then, with a simple gesture, one ring melts free and can be handed back immediately. For the finale, the final ring visibly melts off another right in your spectator’s open hand. It looks like real magic.

All of this is made possible by the new Nova Ring gimmick. Based on Pete Biro’s legendary “Ghostly Finger Rings” and used with permission from the Joe Porper estate, Nova Ring replaces bulky signet-style rings with sleek, everyday designs modelled after modern metal and fitness rings. They look completely ordinary and are indistinguishable from the ones worn by your audience.

The set includes three gimmicked rings (in black, gold, and silver) and three matching ungimmicked rings, all crafted to withstand years of performance. Everything fits perfectly into the included custom case, which not only protects the rings but also doubles as a secret utility device during performance.

You’ll also receive in-depth video instruction from Carisa herself. She walks you through the full history, handling, and philosophy behind the effect, along with five live performances showing how the routine plays for different audiences and venues. Whether you’re performing close-up, parlor, or stage, these rings can adapt seamlessly to your style.
