Hi all!
I am currently working on Fiber Optics by Richard Sanders and I am putting a routine together. I remember a beatiful move but I cannot find it. It can simply be described like this: The magician holds a long rope. He ties a knot with the two ends. The magi cuts the rope with his/hers fingers and shows the ends are movable and can be simple removed alltogheter. The method is quite obvious to me but I have no idea how to get into the move and make it beatiful. What is the move called and where is it published? I thank you all in advance:) |

It is called a slip knot. I don't know where you would find it, as another magician showed me. It is used in many rope effects. The old shoe lace knot would also work as you describe.

Daryl in his Fooler Dooler reaches some nice moves that not only has you tying a knot and removing it, but also how to take a clean ropes and have knots magically appear on it. I’ll have to check which videos when I get to my computer

I AGREE thanks so much Bill, we all owe you big timehere on the MC . always kind and helpful.
you can find slip knots for ropes in almost any large tome on rope magic whether it be a dvd or book. Darrel's encyclopedia of rope magic has it as well as Abbot's encyclopedia of rope magic. |

David Williamson in his Penguin lecture does his Ring & Rope routine. In it he shows really nice knot using a secret short piece. It’s one if slickest moves I’ve seen and perfect for what you’re looking for.
