    I loved this performance. The rings were beautiful and I'm going to be studying that sponge routine closely and adopting some of that for my sponge ball routine. Fun fact it looks just as beautiful as half speed, but everyone sounds totally hammered 😂😂😂

      Gareth B thank you my friend. The ring magic, though original from traditional routines, is not mine. It is called Ninja+ by Matthew Garrett. I have been lucky enough to become part of his team and am able to perform and add some of my own ideas to his brilliant work! Glad you enjoy it!!!

    Very very classic and, not to be demeaning, some begginer's tricks in this routine, which show exactly how much patter and presentation can affect the overall result.
