Magnetic Ring Word Force
The Skill: Reliable Word Choice
This force lets you control exactly which word a spectator chooses from any book. Once you set up the simple gimmick, you can have a spectator open a book to any page and point to a word. Because the gimmick handles the "selection" for you, you can focus entirely on your performance and the reveal.
How It's Taught
The lessons break the process into three clear parts. You start by seeing the effect in action. Then, Julio explains the handling and how to use the gimmick without being spotted. Finally, he shows you exactly how to build the shim so it fits perfectly on your ring.
What Level Is This For
This is an intermediate effect. You don't need years of practice, but you should be comfortable with a basic finger palm. If you’ve done any coin magic before, you’ll pick up the handling quickly. The most important part is learning to keep your hand relaxed while the gimmick is palmed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long until I can perform this?
You can build the gimmick in about 15 minutes. Once you have it, practice the palm until it feels natural. You could be performing this within a few hours of practice.
Does this require a special book?
No. You can use any book with normal text. Since you're using a force, it works with almost anything you have on hand.
What if I have small hands?
The shim is very thin and small. As long as you can hold a small coin in a finger palm, you can perform this move regardless of your hand size.
Is the ring examinable?
Yes. Once you ditch the gimmick, the ring is just a normal object. You can hand it out for inspection immediately after the trick.
