I sent this to Duane Laflin, and it is in his latest newsletter. Here is something for all of you...
The effect is the cords of fantasia (page 303 in the Wilson course). Rather than a "wand" I used a stick with a large heart on the end. The 2 cords were shown as I explained they represent eternity. I get these ropes from Camirand, stage size is much whiter and nicer than normal magician’s rope. I showed the heart and doing the first moves of the tying said “Your heart is at the center of YOUR life”. If you are someone who believes that his or her wants and needs are the most important thing in the world. I gave the ends back to the youth pastors, and showed the various colored silks and began tying them to the cords. The black was sin, the green envy, the yellow love of money, etc. Then tied it all together. “Now, as we all can see, this is a mess! That is what a self-centered life brings us. Yet, one thing; just one simple thing, can untie the mess, and give us all peace. All you have to do is give your heart to Jesus.” I took it out with flair and looked up; the reaction as everything came free was very nice. If someone else did this or wrote it up, oh well… ..if not, it is for you to use as you wish. |

I’ve seen the trick done with a wand, even heard a Gospel application with it; but it always seemed to be missing something. The heart brings the whole thing around!!! Wonderful. I will definitely be using it. Thanks a million Mark, ‘til I can afford to pay you more!

Nicely done! I have used the effect in somewhat of a similiar way, but have added foam-board signs hung from a ring with different pictures of drugs etc. The "wand" I use is a 1" dowel painted to look like a cigarette.
For the gospel application of this effect I do like your idea of the heart glued to the end of the stick. Thanks for sharing the great improvement! peace, phill
