Laurant, Eugene (Eugene Greenleaf). Eugene Laurant?s Linking Rings. Set of ten rings used by Laurant for his well-known version of the ancient Linking Ring trick, including a standard set of eight rings and an additional chain of two. Diameter 10". In a sturdy carrying case. Presented to the Klosterman collection by Harold Puff, who stated that the rings were used by Laurant. Laurant (Eugene Greenleaf, 1875 ? 1944) was one of the three most popular magicians to forge a career on the rural entertainment and educational programs of circuit Chautauqua and Lyceum. His routine with the Linking Rings (using eleven rings) was published in Volume 4 of The Tarbell Course in Magic.
