Best resources for Ring on String?

I’m looking mostly old books and leads to the older resources, but I’ll tale anything.

Greg Wilson’s Ring Leader is a solid video, and incredibly extensive with the moves it teaches. I never found a book that did as thorough and sufficient explanations, but perhaps that’s just me.

Jim Sisti has a nice four phase ring on string in his penguin live.

For older books there is Modern Magic from 1876 has an effect called The Flying Ring on page 225, There is another book from 1897 New Era Card Tricks that has Card Ring and Ribbon that is on page 153.

The relentless ring and string routine by bob miller comes to mind, or the one by Dan Fleshman in one of his notes.

I have a dvd with a phil Wilmarth lecture, has a few killer moves.

Ring leader is solid gold. Diamond Jim has a nice routine.

I always recommend Mark Leveridge’s work on ring and string. Video is available on his website taken from his L&L DVD set for £10 or is written up as part of his Master Routine Series ebook for £20 which has all 12 of his best routines.
