Matthew Garrett's Ninja+ Collection

Impossible.
Then Examined.

Visual linking magic designed to survive the moment after the miracle.

The strongest magic doesn't end when the impossible happens. It gets stronger when the spectator reaches out, takes the object from your hands and discovers that there appears to be nowhere for the method to hide.

Created by Matthew Garrett, the Ninja+ range takes the classic linking-ring concept into the world of close-up magic — allowing solid rings, finger rings, poker chips and even a steel ball bearing to apparently melt together before being handed directly to the audience.

Proven In The Real World

Not Just A Trick.
Working Material.

Matthew Garrett developed Ninja+ into an award-winning close-up linking system and was named Close-Up Magician of the Year 2010 by The Magic Circle in London.

Michael later studied the material under Garrett, incorporated the rings into his professional repertoire, won first place in the Magic Castle's Strolling Olympics and ultimately performed the material on Penn & Teller: Fool Us.

This is material built to be performed, repeated and remembered.

The Ninja+ Philosophy

Create The Impossible.
Hand It Out.

The Ninja+ family explores different ways of making solid, familiar objects apparently penetrate one another under increasingly impossible conditions.

01

Visual

The magic happens in full view. Rings, chips and solid objects visibly join together rather than disappearing behind complicated procedure.

02

Close-Up

These effects are designed for intimate performance, where the audience can see every detail from only a few feet — or inches — away.

03

Examine It

The effect doesn't have to end with the magician nervously putting the props away. The impossible object can become part of the aftermath.

04

Built To Grow

The Ninja+ system has expanded far beyond one routine, giving performers multiple objects, methods and presentations to explore.

The Collection

Four Ways To
Break Reality.

Start with the original Ninja+ concept, then take the principle in completely different directions.

As Seen On Fool Us
01
The Original

Ninja+

The effect that started the modern Ninja+ range: visually link a finger ring onto a larger solid ring in your hands, in the spectator's hands or even in mid-air.

Once joined, the strange linked object can be given to the spectator to examine, turning a visual penetration into an impossible souvenir of the moment.

What You Receive
  • Key linking ring
  • Ninja+ gimmicked linking ring
  • Tungsten carbide finger ring
  • Complete Ninja+ tutorial collection
  • 8+ hours of instruction and ideas
  • Ninja+ Sessions collaboration material

Colorful. Visual. Unexpected.

Ninja+ Poker

Take the visual structure of Ninja+ and replace the finger ring with something immediately recognizable: poker chips.

Chips appear, holes apparently materialize, and one or multiple poker chips visibly link onto a larger solid ring.

What You Receive
  • Key linking ring
  • Ninja+ Poker gimmicked ring
  • Complete poker chip set
  • Ninja+ Poker tutorials
  • Complete Ninja+ tutorial volumes
  • Ninja+ Sessions collaboration material

As Seen On Fool Us
03
Visual Metal Magic

Ninja+ Fusion

Slowly and visually melt a solid steel ball bearing onto a large metal ring.

Fusion takes the Ninja+ aesthetic away from traditional ring-on-ring magic and turns it into something that looks closer to impossible metal sculpture happening directly in front of the audience.

What You Receive
  • Solid linking ring
  • Fusion gimmicked linking ring
  • Steel ball gimmick
  • Ungimmicked steel ball
  • Multi-performer Fusion tutorials
  • Ninja+ Sessions collaboration material

A Different Method Entirely

Garrett's Impossible Rings

GiR approaches the close-up linking-ring problem from another direction entirely.

Solid rings appear to join using a method with no traditional locking mechanism, and the joined rings can be immediately handed to the spectator without a switch.

What You Receive
  • Key linking ring
  • Solid single ring
  • Solid double-linked ring set
  • Two GiR impossible gimmicks
  • Complete GiR tutorials
  • Ninja+ Sessions collaboration material

From Mentor To Stage

Material I Actually
Perform.

Matthew Garrett didn't simply create another product that I happened to add to a store. He was my mentor, and these routines became part of the way I perform linking magic professionally.

I have spent years working with the Ninja+ system, adapting the material to live audiences and eventually bringing both Ninja+ and Ninja+ Fusion to Penn & Teller: Fool Us.

That's why I'm so comfortable recommending this range: these aren't effects I looked at once for a product review. They're part of my working repertoire.

Which One Is For You?

Same Family.
Different Impossibilities.

As Seen On Fool Us Ninja+

Link a finger ring onto a larger ring.

Poker Ninja+ Poker

Link colorful poker chips onto a solid ring.

As Seen On Fool Us Fusion

Melt a steel ball bearing onto a ring.

Impossible Rings GiR

Link solid rings using Garrett's alternate method.

Make The Moment Last

Link It.
Then Hand It To Them.

Choose the version of the Ninja+ system that fits your performance style and add one of modern close-up magic's most memorable impossible-object moments to your act.
