Houdini's Rope

Two AVAILABLE

(Since Jim's Book, Device and Illusion is out of print, this illusion will have limited availablity until a reprint happens. It is sold only accompanied by the book. If you already own the book, and would like to have this piece built, please contact us.)

Effect:

Magician tells about how he came upon a relic from the days of Houdini -

an actual piece of Houdini's Rope.

In those days, it was said that Houdini could escape

from any restraints because he could dematerialize his body.

Now, having Houdini's rope in my possession,

says the magician, I shall attempt to demonstrate this theory for you.

Two members of the audience are invited

to come on stage and examine the rope.

It is about 30 feet in length and has been threaded between two antique posts.

When the spectators are satisfied that the rope is solid,

they each hold an end of the rope, pulling it taught.

With the rope running thru the holes in the Posts,

the post unit is wheeled center stage.

Holding a foulard in front of you for just a moment,

and using the posts as a staging area,

you proceed to "dematerialize"

and "rematerialize" on the other side of the rope,

apparently walking right through it!

Post unit is immediately wheeled to the side and the rope can be thoroughly examined.

You Receive:

The Rope and the Beautiful Hardwood Post Unit (Looks like it's 100 years old),

and a copy of Jim Steinmeyer's "Device & Illusion" (a very special thing...it's currently out of print!)

which contains Jim's excellent Routine surrounding this effect.
