Ring and Chain Magic Trick - Science or Magic?
ฝัง

- Craig Beals demonstrates a classic magic trick called the Ring and Chain Trick where the ring ends up knotted to the chain as it falls down around the chain. The magic trick presents several physics topics and makes for a great way to teach the science of Newton's Laws - especially Newton's Third Law.

Such a good job explaining the trick, i love what you did there, very impressive, keep it going man.
Thank you!!
I was doing this for a science class, and was asked to try to figure out how to do it. This helped me out a lot!!!
I’m glad I could help!
Nice that you explain it in detail, contrary to others.
The slow motion footage already shows it.
Glad it was helpful!
JUST STUMBLED across your EXCELLENT explanation of Ring & Chain trick with SCIENCE - WOW!! How refreshing to be reminded that THOUSANDS of 'Magic tricks' rely on GOOD OLD SCIENCE (Flash paper /Mathematics of Prof Elmsleys card tricks etc, etc) PLEASE keep posting such thought provoking material, MUCH needed!!MANY THANKS, 👏👏👍🃏D.
Thank you for the kind words!!
And thanks for watching!
HI Craig, Crazy, I was looking up a few videos on the ring and chain - and here you are... My polarTREC alumni buddy. Love it! - Great video. Love that you connect the science to the magic
Wow!!! What are the odds!
I am glad you found the video and I hope it is helpful!
I hope you are well!
@@BealsScience Yes, All good over here. Love the videos. I can't wait to watch more and share with students.
Thank you for posting this video. I needed this explanation for my students.
No problem!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome! Will try this.
The first thing we are dealing with is Gravity.Gravity is gonna pull
that ring down and remember the ring is trying to rotate this and this
is called ANGULAR MOMENTUM and it gets to about a hundred and forty
degrees and because of the friction it's causing that energy to go into the
chain and Newton's third law says that when we have an action we have
an equal and opposite it's gonna pull that chain up it's gonna split apart
because of frictional force between the steel and loop it's gonna loop
itself around and make a knot those simple physics in our magic.
Nice trick, can't believe it's that simple.
BTW, what's the background music?
I didn't realize it was that simple either and it took a lot of slow mo video to really see what was happening!

This is my favorite trick I keep mine in my backpack keep it with me for show lol.
👍
wow ! amazing 👍️great tricks dear sir
Thank you for the kind words!
Is another way that you can do without stretching the top. Just flip the ring with your finger before you drop it to create the correct motion of the falling ring.
Yes. Some people hang it off of one finger and make it work. I’ve never had a lot of success doing it that way but it can be done!
@@BealsScience it takes a bit of practice but when people watch trying to work it out it's harder to copy that than simply widening it, and they won't work it out so fast either.
Great video
Thank you!!
My friend has this and I was wondering how she did that. Thanks for teaching :D
I’m glad I could help!
some wonderful teaching. But link to the chain gives you an assortment to pick from can you provide a new link to the chain you recommend.
Thank you for letting me know the link was broken! I have updated it.
Here is a comparable chain. The price may be much cheaper if you find it locally.

It only works with a 36" chain. ??
@@RobertBallMagician it will work with other lengths but they may require some testing.
@Beals Science well l ordered the ring, and got a 36" pull chain from Lowes 👍👍👍👍
@@RobertBallMagician I am sure it was much less expensive at Lowe’s!
Thanks! Finally got it.
Great!
Amazed
Do you need a specific diameter ring or length of chain? I have tried this with a ring and chain but I thing the chain is to short or the ring is to heavy.
I tried a few other ring diameters and they did not work consistently. The chain length definitely matters but there is a range that seems to work (although I no longer have my notes from when I was experimenting with it). This length is the easiest to find because it is a common fan chain pull length which means it is available at most hardware stores (in the US).
Hi there! may I ask if the chain needs to be a certain length and the ring a certain diameter? I tried several times but it doesn't work for me. Was trying to understand why and realised your chain and ring is longer/bigger than what I am using.
Yes. There is a relationship between the chain and its ability to loop up around the ring. Also, the ring diameter (and mass) will have an effect. That said, there are probably a million variations of the two that will work, but I am not familiar with what those variations would be.
Science or magic?
science magic!!
Science IS magic...or wait...maybe it is the other way around...Magic is Science!
this channel is undersubed
Thank you!!
@@BealsScience your welcome! :-D
Thanks
No problem!
I'd love to hear from you! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think or what you'd like to see next!
Thanks for watching and 'Keep on Learning!'
~Craig
nice!
Thanks!
Could you do the same trick using your hands instead of gravity? Same set up. Same materials. slow motion.
Definitely!
You’d have to be pretty good with sleight of hand but it is possible!
@@BealsScience No, I mean- I still dont see how the chain is looping itself around the ring. To make that same knot with my hands, I have to put the chain inside of the ring and then loop it back around and back inside of itself. Once I grab that end of the chain and let the ring drop- then the knot happens. How is the trick possible if I am holding the side of the chain that is supposed to loop in an out? I can do half of the 'trick,' but the other half shouldn't be possible.
Forgive my ignorance. Maybe this is why I flunked out of math and physics.
Can you reproduce the trick using your hands to replicate the fall.
I wear a ring like this around my neck. While sleeping, it’s come off in several occasions, and I’m baffled
Perhaps this explains it?!
Interesting but you cannot get this at a hardware store although it looks like items that can be found at a hardware store they are not you have to buy them either online or at a magic store
You can usually find the rings at an agricultural supply store because they are used in bridles and other animal harness equipment.
I must have been asleep that day of science class.... Whaaaaattttt????
Will it work with a string?
Unfortunately, string does not work.
What I would love to know is not the physical process or forces that do this but how the loops get interlocked... the funny thing is - when you attach the chain to lets say the ceiling, it'd still work and then the interesting question arises: Is it reversable... can I take the ring out again. So an explaination should show how you can reverse it.... but all the explainations do is explain the rotational forces and the knot tying - which is the least interesting thing about this. Think about this from the perspective of a child....do you want to know what forces do it or do you want to know how its interlocked? Not in which way this happens but the difference of the state before and after
Thanks now i can dei
Well explained but practice is required...
Yes, it definitely takes practice.
Does the diameter of the ring matter? I'm trying with my wedding ring with very inconsistent results
The diameter and mass do have an effect of n the rotation and ability to “move” the chain. But, if you were to find a lighter weight chain pull (maybe already you have) you could probably get your wedding ring to work with some consistency.
Your version is good but there is a way to do it without making the ring spin.
i cant manage to do it
You will get it.
it’s not magic it’s not science too but it’s a trick
Can we see more reaction?
What sort of reaction are you thinking of?
@@BealsScience at the end of the video.
Yo i am stoned but i can’t fucking understand this wtf🤣
Can u try making 🚀 rocket ⛽ fuel
What type of rocket fuel are you thinking?
Mini
I’ve got some hydroxy rockets (mini) coming up in about 4 weeks!
Magic, because I still can't do it
😆
Who is here after Alakh sir video?😁
Hello!
Which Alakh sir video?
I can't...
I came here bcz of Alakh Pandey
I sure am glad you found me!
Thanks for watching!
Drop the pointless & distracting & annoying 'music' (carpet beating).
I HATE IT SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
