Ropes, Ribbons, Strings & Reels
Today rubber bands are very popular and allow strong and effective illusions. David Copperfield popularized the "Crazy Man Handcuffs". I have consistently and repeatedly fooled friends with this little gem. The classic cut and restored string continues to be popular. A rope is a very common object. If you can do something magical with it, you have won your audience over.
You will also find here routines with invisible threads and loops.

Scripted #15: cut and restored ribbonLarry Brodahl A free e-manuscript that explores an age old method to show the power of scripting and analysis. One of the joys of magic is going through old and dusty ideas and actually finding usable material. This is one of those.

Scripted #14: The Penrose KnotLarry Brodahl The Penrose knot has never been clearly explained until now. A strange effect that is not only made fun by the supplied script, but an "in the hands" tying method is revealed. The magician ties a rope into a chain of 30 knots. Each knot appears identical. The spectator grabs one of the knots. The magician now pulls on the ends of the rope, and every knot dissolves - except - the knot the spectator selected. That knot proves to be a common overhand knot. The Penrose knot was published in Karl Fulves' Self Working Rope Tricks, but the description was less-than-clear, and the effect is quite strange. ... | 2017 / 10 / 8 | $10.00 to wish list |

Sleight of Hand Rope TrickUlysses Frederick Grant This is the first official release U.F. Grant made in 1928. This came before his 45 Tricks, and was an amazing rope trick well before its time that introduced the magic world to the genius of Grant. Very rare and seldom seen.
EFFECT: A length of rope is displayed measuring about 3 feet long. This can be passed for examination before and after the trick. The rope is taken and the ends tied together. The performer states the rope can be cut and restored in any section of the loop. He proceeds to cut the rope 3 or 4 inches from the knot and then restoring it there. It is again cut; this time in the center... | 2016 / 12 / 22 | $3.00 to wish list |
Pirate Torture IllusionDevin Knight This is not your typical grandma's (ala Grandma's necklace) version of rope through body. Instead, this is ropes through body on steroids. It uses no gimmick rope either and everything can be examined. This is an illusion that fits into a briefcase and yet fills the stage with three spectators and yourself. Talk about playing big and packing small, this is the ultimate. It's based on an historical fact that pirates use to torture people for both information and for the entertainment of the crew. This is a historical fact that makes this version of the trick not only logical, but historically... | 2016 / 10 / 29 | $7.00 to wish list |
It's Knot ImpossibleKen de Courcy Get the most from a classic trick. All you need is a single piece of rope (that can be borrowed) and you are always ready to entertain your audience. It packs so small but it plays so big. You can perform it close up or for a big audience.
"The Impossible Knot", originally called "G.W.Hunter's Puzzle Knot", was well-known to magicians fifty years ago but appears to have dropped out of use. This is a shame because it is easy to do, not well-known and, due to the method, almost impossible for a spectator to work out even when he is apparently shown how it is done. In short, it's a useful thing... | 2016 / 6 / 4 | $4.00 to wish list |

Test-Conditions Ring PenetrationDevin Knight Magic literature contains a myriad of methods for doing ring on string effects. Many of these involve clever sleights or duplicate rings.

The incredible thing about this method is that it is done under test conditions with your wrists tied behind your back!
