Hey, I've been looking around for a routine that I saw a guy in Virginia Beach do. He started with the professors nightmare, then after he put them all back to the different lengths, he put the medium rope around his neck and did a routine with the small and large rope. He connected them, disconnected them, removed the ends, and did a few more things with them. He introduced the medium rope after a few flashy effects and eventually finished with them all different lengths again.

If anyone knows who's routine this is, or a good comedy routine that I could use with no more than the ropes in professors nightmare, please give me a name and/or a link.
Thanks!

I'm not sure exactly what your talking about. What you've described is pretty vague. However, Fiber Optics fits the bill. You can add comedy to it. The presentation is all up to you. I do know that everything you described is found in that routine, as well as others. It might also help you to look up Whit Haydn's Mongolian Pop Knot routine.

All the best,

It might have been his take on the Fiber Optics. I sell those DVDs constantly.
Fiber Optics is a must have for eye-popping visual rope magic.
For other excellent routines see..

Daryl's (#8)
Haydn's Mongo Pop Knot (and see a wonderful clip here at the Café)
Steve Bedwell's "In Over Your Head" for a fantasticly funny stage routine

To put together your own routine, I suggest getting them all and molding your own
out of them. That's what I did.

The effect is "Three Rings and A Baby". It's great, I've used it for several years. I believe you will find it at Camirand Magic in Canada.

Thinking about this origina question... it really doesn't matter WHAT rope trick you do... if YOU ARE FUNNY.

Reminds me... Clarke Crandall used to have 'em rolling with laughter doing the old Tarbell many cut rope trick. Nothing different, simple, no gimmicks, but ALL PRESENTATION.

Aldo Colombini has some wonderful comedy rope magic on his videos. Go to mammamiamagic.com
On an older tape series (not available) called Lasting Impressions he does some great comedy rope magic.
