I would like to know if anyone can tell me where I can obtain hanks of rope that match the thick rope used in Empire Magic's version of "Rigid Rope"?
It's 5/8" thick rope. I want to be able to switch a non-gimmicked rope for the "Rigid Rope" and want the ropes to be exactly the same in appearance. This 5/8" thick cotton rope is very visible and would work great for standard Cut & Restored or Professor's Nightmare, Linking Ropes, etc... Empire is selling their Rigid Ropes in bulk, so there must be a supplier of this 5/8" thick rope. Anyone know? (oddly enough, e-mails to Empire Magic are no good. They will not reveal the source of the rope used. I think they must have purchased the trick ropes in bulk from an overseas wholesaler and don't even know the source of the rope) |

Empire told me they get the rope from Italy. Check out all magic shops in Italy. I hope that helps
Also, I don't know if it's the same size but check out rope that Camirand Academy of magic in Canada has. |

There are two different magic suppliers called Empire Magic. The "Empire Magic" who markets the "rigid rope" referred to above appears to be a division of Loftus International. They are a wholesale only business who markets effects to magic shops.
However, I found the 5/8" rope I'm looking for on the website of a magic shop called Empire Magic. http://www.empiremagic.com/ I don't know if there is any relationship between the two, but I don't think so. The rope that Empire Magic sells is located here: http://www.empiremagic.com/docs/rope20.html They call it Deluxe EuroRope. "EuroRope is larger than most regular magician's rope which measures 1/4" inch in diameter. Deluxe EuroRope measures 3/8" inch. Super Deluxe EuroRope measures 5/8" inch." |

You might try http://www.camirandmagic.com/ I've heard good things about their rope. While you're there, check out their Elite Garnier card to wallet. I have one and love it.
