This new manuscript from Steve Bedwell is hot! It details what may be one of the funniest routines with a rope, a spectator, and a pair of scissors that you will ever see! A lady from the audience is invited on stage in order to closely observe the magician as he cuts a length of rope in half and then restores it. This effect is repeated several times to the increasing bewilderment of the assisting spectator. However, unbeknown to the person on stage, the remainder of the audience sees the magician secretly transfer short pieces of rope from his ear to the center of the long rope! The short ropes are then cut and discarded by tossing them over the spectator's head! Because the assistant on stage is unaware of the short pieces of rope and because the long rope is handled in a very open fashion, the cut and restored illusion is truly staggering! Her amazed reaction adds immeasurably to the enjoyment of the audience. The trick then builds into a crescendo of craziness culminating in a hilarious visual "restoration" of the rope. An extremely original approach to rope magic! Steve performed this at the recent IBM Convention in Buffalo, NY and everybody went crazy for it! It's not often that a working pro reveals all the real work on a routine from their actual repertoire! This is truly a steal for the price! Well written and fully illustrated.
