You won't find any ring move more effective or visually amazing than the PULL-THROUGH.... you will stop people IN THEIR TRACKS when you perform it.
Finally you won't be forced to pull out your deck when someone asks to see a trick, leave that for later. Gather your crowd with something really visual. Divorce them, using their own ring.
No ring is gimmicked in this routine even though spectator may think they are
Relatively easy to perform with some practice
Battle tested in thousands of live performances
The routine is meant to be performed with ALL EYES BURNING YOUR HANDS
You won't believe how this looks when you start performing the moves in the mirror

PROS
This is a really nice routine with finger rings.
What I really like is the routine uses a variety of different effects ranging from vanishing and appearing ring, ring through finger, ring on participant's shoulder, ring transpositions, etc.
The moves are clever and not that difficult. With a little practice, a beginner could get these moves down.
The instruction is good. Some of Justin's material is full of endless rambling, this one is pretty much to the point.
One of the best things about this is it is totally impromptu and requires no gimmicks or setup.
CONS
I think this routine would be better suited to using your own ring or rings. In the routine with the ring on shoulder, the ring could fall and get lost. You might want to have a cheap ring and a nice ring on your own hands and use the cheap ring on the spectator's shoulder. He does teach very well how to manage the participant to lower the risk.
VERDICT
A really good impromptu finger ring routine that uses no gimmicks and requires no setup. Very nice.

Lately it seems like we've seen a lot of finger ring magic. I'm definitely okay with that. I'm always wearing a ring so it makes sense to have something ready just in case.
This is a multi-phase ring routine with a normal finger ring. From the beginning it looks like they cut out a section of the video, after talking with some people about it it sounds like they may have cut out a move in the beginning phase. If they didn't the video starts off kinda suddenly and jumps right into the first phase without much build up.
The first move makes it look like you slap the ring right through your finger. He credits the move to David Harkey. It's a lot of fun and fairly visual.
He then moves onto a ring on shoulder effect. Personally, I already do coin on shoulder and I have issues with it falling from time to time and I'm not comfortable with the possibility of the ring falling off and getting damaged or lost. There is a good moment though when it seems like the ring disintegrates as he places it on their finger. It looks great.
I love the pull through move. When talking about it he mentions that Magick Ballay and Patrick Kun have work on this principle. Basically in full view without any cover the ring pops off of your finger as if it is going directly through the skin and bone. I'm familiar with Patrick's and Magick's versions and I think Justin's is easier to learn and just as visual. Plus it has the added bonus of keeping the magicians face in frame, which is always a plus.
The last part is a transposition with another ring. I'm not crazy for this a lot happens and I feel like it might get a little confusing. Your ring and their ring switch places a couple times in an impossible way. You may love it but it doesn't really fit me. The redeeming part here was that it taught a nifty switch that could be applied to coins or other small objects.
I have started using bits and pieces here and there with a lot of success. The ad copy says that it is a 5 phase routine, I only count 4 phases for what ever the reason, because of this and that I will only use half the moves taught I'll give this 3 and a half stars.
