hi welcome to real magic review my name
is Steve Fon and today I will be talking
about Ninja plus by Matthew Garett with
a bit of G which I still don't know
loads about but yeah the point of this
is it's nearly Blackpool and I only two
good stuff to look out
[Music]
for before we do this us your things if
you like it you want to subscribe to it
like it and subscribe to it if you want
to learn magic or become better at Magic
or taught by me over 800 videos live
sessions every week special guests such
as David Williamson luch Andy Gladwin
and I'm sure Matthew Garrett will
comeing up some point I think he did say
want to do video me anyway um and loads
of other great lovely
people uh have a look at that $9.99
month you can cancel anytime
Preposterous Preposterous nonsense
charging that much I should be charging
you
hundreds which I will if you stay on
stay on for months but there you go
right uh I'm really excited about
talking about this because I like
bringing you things that you might see
every year at Blackpool and because
they're there every year you go I'll she
that again as I did now I've my journey
with the Lincoln rings I think is an
important one I went through the period
of going I saw shoot a g do it and you
know Matthew talks about shooter girl's
routine just adored it thought it the
most magical thing ever learned it
started thinking it was a bit na because
that's what everybody told me it was
then I was in the the magic circle
closeup Magician of the year
in about
1925 it seems like Matthew Garrett was
there and he did his ninja plus I didn't
really watch his routine cuz I was
terrified sitting in the corner shaking
but you know I thought yeah he's doing a
linol room routine what with fingerings
that ruins it Purity that's what you
want Lincoln Rings finger nonsense uh
didn't really watch it he beat me I got
upset and didn't like it at all
internally stly I was like oh
great um and then time passed I saw
people again like I've gone on about
this for ages like uh Axel hecloud do
the Rings go back to watching shoot a go
um uh the other Lincoln ring the Romero
R the Romero no gosh malero
Romero the Romero oh you idiot
malero there you go cut let's start
again no let's not saw that learned that
got back into it thought it was na again
then started performing and now
completely love it got these and just I
was away for 10 days completely geeked
out on it it's brilliant the whole
fingering thing is brilliant it's all
brilliant so I'm telling you this I know
you know about lincol Rings the Rings
are well made all that kind of stuff the
routine with a fingering is so brilliant
it's a joy to learn bits of it are
difficult which to me makes it a joy to
learn it's a real flow experience but
you know what the minute you've learned
those bits even if there's a bit where
the small ring goes from the top to the
middle to to the bottom sometimes it
take me like 10 G to do it and when it
finally people would still go whoa it
was almost like it cancelled out the
kind of 10 failures before it before
it the just a people watching this done
in a kind of not in a bad way but in a
kind of very basic Way by me gets the
reactions I just think it's all
beautiful the way it's all put together
the way it works the the retention of
vision with some of the stuff the links
the unlinks the challenge of it the flow
of it and it was something I could stick
in my back pocket and just get into just
love it so even even without the small
ring which is a ninja plus and you get
the gimmick everything you want with it
you get the ring with it and you might
be going oh I'm going to do it with
borrowed rings I think it's actually
better doing it with the ring and
actually some moves you need the ring
that you get with it but it's it's big
and it's Visual and there's certain
things especially when you're learning
it you're not going to want to kind of
pick up other people's um you know very
expensive diam rings to start in a thing
for it even though it's got this great
bit where Matthew puts a bit on
someone's forehead and does it he
doesn't recommend doing that but the
learning in it is great there is hours
and hours of stuff here so the whole
thing is a master class in small lincol
Rings now from what I know the G is so
that that shows you you know without
showing any you know key rings that the
Lings are red and uh Ling rings are
linked and you there's no Gap
Etc um and this is taking a traditional
routine and kind of adapting it and and
I did get an ex extension kit so I've
got like now a 10 ring set so I can kind
of adapt my stage uh bit to it and I
showed some people that and they really
like that
too so I think the learning of it is
great the Performing of it is great the
visual of it's great don't listen to the
people that say linking ring is enough
it's a magic prop of course it is that's
why it's good that's why people like it
you get them out at an event and people
are just transfixed you can do slow
silent stuff you can adapt Excel stuff
to it you can do and and shoot a go has
some lovely silent links you can do fast
Snappy stuff and I think it's an
absolute Masterpiece of a routine and I
think Matthew Garrett is there for a
reason every year doing the same thing
because he is a master at doing it and a
master at teaching it it's just
wonderful stuff and he deserved to beat
me in the class um mag closeup Magician
of the year at the magic circle so well
done finally you deserved it better than
my hacky cups and bll routin so there
you go go and have a look at that when
you're at Blackpool but also check out
the site and the links below I think
you'll really enjoy using and performing
with them thanks very much have a great
one
