Thanks for the kind words, Jim!
Hey Wally, Jim's right -- this works very well with string for close up for adults. For "adult close up" you may want to check out "French Postcards". |

As some of you know, we had an email malfunction so some of you didn't get your bonus material for almost two weeks. As a thank you for your patience, I've just posted a free effect on the End-of-my-Rope Trick Facebook page. It's called "Sherlock's Questions" and it's from my book Intimate Mysteries. I've also included a passage from the introduction to the book because some of the ideas in this are pretty new and it might help to have a little context. I hope you enjoy it!

Chris, I am new to magic and don't have many supplies except for cards. The only rope I have is clothesline for
some simple tricks. What rope would be best and where would I get it? I am a family/friends magician, so I would need a small amount. I am looking forward to your DVD arriving at my home. Thanks in advance for anyone's help or comments. Mike |

Most all the magic dealers on the internet sell magicians rope. The 25 foot length a standard and is reasonably priced.

Thank you Ron. I have the End of my Rope DVD from Chris Philpott and being new wondering
if one type would be better then another. Thanks again for your Information, Mike. |

Get the 10mm (approx 1/4") size. The thicker sizes would be more dificult to cut with a lot of loops to cut through. On line cost run around $12.00

This rope works really nicely, is soft and cuts easily. I like the red personally. 64 feet of rope for $12 and free shipping if a prime member.

I'm a little late to this party, but TEOMRT is a fantastic addition to this branch of magic. For me its great pluses (is that even a word?) are the drama of the restoration and how visual it appears. Lots of variations taught. I've posted a full review which includes a video of a fantastic performance of the 'souped up' version of this which was performed on Penn and Teller as an example of how practical the method is (though it didn't fool them!). Great release Chris! Full review here: http://www.bicycle-cards.co.uk/2016/11/0......e-trick/

And just noticed this review from Paul Romhany:
"An amazing cut and restored rope that in my opinion has raised the bar for any cut and restored rope routine. THIS is going in the act!!!" -Paul Romhany, Vanish Magazine Thanks, Paul!! |

I think this is a great effect. I can't help think that it's part of a stronger effect but well worth looking at.
