Chained Lightning. Louis Tannen, ca. 1952.
Twelve polished one-inch rings are removed from a velvet display case and openly dropped, one by one, onto a wand. As the rings are slid off into the performer’s hand, they are seen to have mysteriously linked together, emerging as a single continuous chain. The hands are then shown unmistakably empty.
