Whenever I do this effect, it's well received. It's so simple, yet very impactive. It's also I think a good example of conditioning and association-for early on, the left hand does hold a link. Later, the hand must hold NOTHING in the exact same way. Now, the basic handling works well. The handling with additional provers, works IN THEORY. The only reason why it can't work REALLY, is because the links will NOT adhere to a covertly place PK. How this could have possibly been overlooked by the folks at Elmwood, truly IS amazing, and astonishing, ETC.-because the suggested use of a PK is right there in the instructions! Of course, one may easily go to the hardware store, find chain that is going to adhere to said PK, and get a few links cut. To me, it's worth it, because the usage of the PK here helps keep the left hand clean, with a link 'nearby' to perform the next link. Fine idea, easy to do-good acting helps-and so will some links that will stick to a magnet.

I remember when I first saw Chain Reaction being performed years ago. I just loved the direct hit you between the eyes effect that seemingly causes three unlinked chain links to link together, one at a time. When I bought the product for a few bucks, I laughed. It was just so simple, that I thought I must have missed something. The package came with just a few chain links and written instructions which were easy to follow and simple.
I carried the links around with me for years and each and every time I performed this trick, it just blew the spectators away. The three linked pieces, at the end of the routine, can be handed out for thorough inspection. Without a exception, every single spectator pulled and twisted and eyeballed the links to figure out how I got them together -- then asked me to separate them.
Great for close-up. The reset is instant and you can repeat this quick trick all day long.
Chain Reaction is perfect example of how Jay Sankey turns an ordinary item into an extraordinary piece of magic.
