Rope Magic Trick

You will need:

• A length of rope or string (about 1 meter)
• A silk hanky

A few tips before you start:

The rope magic trick is a really easy magic trick to do. You will make a silk hanky pass straight through a piece of rope or string, right  in front of your audiences’ eyes. The magic effect is called a ‘penetration’.

Step 1:

In the tope magic trick, we start with the rope.

Fold the length of rope in half. Hold the rope as shown in the picture.

Step 2:

Now fold the loop back over the rope like in the picture. Pick the rope up by pinching the two pieces together (in the red circle). This creates a loop like in the picture on the far right.

Step 3:

Pass the hanky through the loop and pull the rope tight onto the silk. It looks like you have now tied the rope onto the silk.

 

Step 4:

Now tie the ends of the silk together with a double knot.

It appears that you have now tied the silk onto the rope.

Step 5:

Grab hold of a piece of rope in each hand and pull the rope apart (like in the pictures).

Step 6:

Now it is time for the magic. Grab hold of the hanky (like show in the picture) and give it a tug.

 

 

 

Well done!

You have just made a silk pass through a solid piece of rope with this amazing rope magic trick. And best of all, it is self working so you can do magic!
