Comments: 'This routine was inspired by a ring off rope move of Clifton's described in Earl Nelson's excellent book "Variations". It is a deceptive move which I've adapted to a small padlock."

Contents (from book):

1 Effect: a small padlock on a velvet cord vanishes and is found locked to the performer's finger ring.
1 Required: two small padlocks with keys that will open both locks, velvet cord, key ring, and a finger ring that will fit loosely on the pinky.
