"This is a unique exploration of innovative moves that will enhance any of your current ring routines. For the serious student of linking rings, this is a welcome addition to the possibilities of this timeless classic!"
- Jeff McBride

"After I have watched Milo's "Sharpie Evolutions Lecture", which is filled with very clever and useful ideas and techniques, I expect the same of his new lecture with the linking rings. I was looking so hard for the secret. But even when I know it, I couldn't see it. Milo puts also some pantomime additionals on top, which makes it look like the rings are really penetrating!"
- Miles Pitwell (Professor of Magic)

"Suave Links is top-tier Ring work at its finest. The moves are incredibly smooth and elegant, executed with flawless precision."
- Joshua Messado
