I am interested in getting into ring magic. How easy is Odyssey to learn? I want to use that as an interim solution until I can get Circuit down. Thanks.
It is sooo worth it, buy it as soon as you canOdyssey has been the next trick I have been looking at to buy to have something I can do outside of card magic. It looks great, I just keep reading reviews and trying to see what people say about it
It is easy, but I've found that a LOT of people are hip to the idea of what's going on.
If you pair it with another ring routine and switch out the gimmick for a real one midway through, you can drop it in their hands in the end and they are left dumbfounded.Just the nature. Covering any angle issues is actually taught very well. The problem lies in the fact that it's just a bit too obvious for most people. It definitely is visually stunning, but I've very rarely been able to get away with it without someone knowing exactly what's going on.
Is it angle sensitive or just the nature of the gimmick?

Yup. Or, what I do is, I already have the gimmick on, no one suspects anything. I go through 3 or 4 moves in Odyssey. I then switch it out for the regular ring using patter. I then perform parts of reflex and end by dropping the ring in their hand and flipping mine clean. They spend quite a while inspecting the ring, and get more baffled by the second.I've been doing a bit of ring magic with a non-gimmicked ring that I used to wear. When I bought Odyssey, I also bought Reflex by Patrick Kun which includes a few impromptu tricks you can do with a normal ring. Like Maaz said, I'd start with tricks that can be done without the Odyssey gimmick, let them check that out and stuff, and then at some point in the routine switch it for the "special" Odyssey ring.
I would suggest getting a size that fits over all fingers, including the thumb. I accidentally got a size to big. It makes doing the trick easier but it is too loose to wear everyday. If when measuring the size is in between 2 numbers, round up to the bigger size. Hope this helps.Hey late to the discussion but I have a question. I have read somewhere that when buying Odyssey you should buy 1 size larger than what you usually buy. Any comments about sizing?
No, buy the size that fits your finger,Hey late to the discussion but I have a question. I have read somewhere that when buying Odyssey you should buy 1 size larger than what you usually buy. Any comments about sizing?
