Psychic Escape – my daughter's favorite magic trick

The Psychic Escape magic trick ($(removed)) is a bit like the Block Escape I posted last week, but it's better. You don't have to hide the rings as they are put in the tube. In fact, the spectator can put them in the tube. And instead of selecting two colors, the spectator selects one. After all the rings are in the cylinder, the spectator puts the cap on. Then you thread a needle and cord through the rings via the holes on either end of the cylinder. When you open the brass tube, all the rings are on the string except for the spectator's selected ring, which drops to the table.

My 12-year-old says the Psychic Escape is her favorite trick. She wants me to buy one for her, but I said we could share this one, provided she doesn't get the string stained with chocolate pudding and spaghetti sauce when she takes it to school and shows it to kids at the lunch table.
