ring, and credit to Richard Himber

history and some tips

borrowed finger ring are secured on a rope with the performer's
ring blocking the way off the string. Under cover of a
handkerchief, however, the borrowed ring and coins are removed,
while the performer's ring remains.

the ring on the string (and take it off)
