How contact jugglers make rings float in midair

Jugglers with the group Fratres Juggling are explaining the mechanics of the contact juggling technique known as isolation, in which figure-8 rings appear to stay fixed in midair while the performer's hands and body move around them. Their breakdown shows how practising the trick along a flat wall helps jugglers keep the ring perfectly stationary, creating the striking illusion of an object frozen in space.
Why now: A clear explanation of a visually impressive trick has been circulating and drawing curiosity about how the illusion works.
