Fast and Loose Chains

For the professional or hobbiest magician

FAST AND LOOSE

The Fast and Loose con game was played in Shakespeare’s time, but it’s easy to learn by professional and hobbiest magicians.

Today, the “gambling” game is performed with a jewelry chain. The beauty of the chain elevates the performance and the best chain to use should have a confusing pattern for the chain turns and overlaps.

Search “fast and loose chain”, and look at the results. My chain, in gold or silver, has a tighter, more attractive pattern than the ones going for over $90 plus shipping.

Mine… $30 including shipping! Want a knot with that? $10. It’s the finale of the School for Scoundrels’ excellent Fast and Loose training video.

Shown is the 18k gold plated stainless steel chain. Indicate your preference. The standard loop is 60″ long. Below is my prototype at 60″ and another at 40″. 5″ x 11″ and 3.5″ x 7″.  The 40″ works fine. Go with 60″ or 50″. The default is 60″

This chain is more dense than the others I’ve seen. The rope chain design is made up of connecting tiny “key rings” that need closing – three on one side, and three on the other. The endless version has held well, but is a weak-point if someone tugs on the chain.

I just looked at both chains. The winner in looks close-up is the one with endcaps. Feel and strength, too. The knot is seamless.
