Ropesational by George Sands

An entire act performed with a length of rope.

Destined to become a classic of magic! Knots jump from end to end – the ends change places – the rope stretches in length – the rope is cut and magically restored – knots in the rope vanish and reappear – it keeps the audience amazed and amused from start to finish.

An ungimmicked rope is used (not supplied). No magnets, cement, snaps or other gimmicks are used. A fast-moving, easily learned rope routine.

Note: Ropesational requires more performing skill than the author's earlier release, Sandsational Rope.

Painstakingly illustrated by Ed Mishell with 45 clear line drawings.

I first learned this routine from this booklet in 1973. After seeing Richard Mis as well as Russ Douton perform it at a magic gathering. I had to learn it..it had and has everything for a great rope routine! Multiple cut and restored, sliding and vanishing knots, jumping ends! Long before Daryl or Fiber Optics, this was the original multiphase rope miracle! And there was no rope to replace, it lasts for years!

However, this booklet was the only way to learn it at the time. (Now I think Alan Sands teaches it as a download). And despite the many illustrations in the booklet, it is not an easy thing to learn. When I first started to learn it, I would repeat it 20 times a day for several months, until it got into my 'bones'. I've been doing it for over 50 years and I have edited the routine somewhat. That is part of the beauty of this booklet is that you can shorten the routine and use just one or two phases if you wish. I have taught it to a few performers on an individual basis, but having this booklet to refer to definitely makes the learning curve much smoother. I don't always include this in a show anymore, but it is always in my bag as a backup! A small miracle that is good for several minutes of startling entertainment and humor! My highest recommendation!
