If you aren't doing any stage stuff then you might not want this. The secret is pretty obvious. I find that it is best used as a stage gag before you start up with your good rope routine. If you haven't used this before, it is guaranteed to get you some good laughs.

I've used this prop on various occasions. If performing for kids, I make sure to make it comedic as the rope collapses each time I go to bow. If performing for an older audience, I theatrically hypnotize the rope, and use it as a line to drape my silks over in my next routine.

i dont know if it was just me but when i got mine it was half broken and threads were all pulled out....it half worked i was very disappointed with penguin

This ones a good one, just remember to keep an eye on people, theres always someone who will try to touch or snatch the rope off you. As for picking up chicks, surely theres a better way than magic tricks guys.

If you are not trying to pick up girls and performing, this is a nice piece. I've used mine well over a year in kids shows. I produce mine out of a square circle.

This product is dangerous. Don't use it to pick up girls. I used this effect and made some innuendos, and I thought she was going to slap me. There are many other tricks which are much better for meeting girls. I would recommend them.
