The rope has an odd odor like a hot factory in India might. Maybe it is the dye I am smelling. There just is some sort of industrial smell to this rope that is not pleasing.

What a disappointing color. I assumed it would lean towards a yellow with an orange tint. It is an light rusty orange color. It is not an even close to yellow and should not be listed as such. YUCK! I should have looked at the photo better.
The dye job as some blotchy lighter spots. To my surprise the dye did not bleed off. Only in hot water did a little come off when the rope was squeezed.

I was disappointed this is not a rope you can core. It is soft but braided with many fine strands so there is no hollow middle if you do effects that require or to make to make it easier to cut.

It might have gotten 1 star but they do give you instructions for 10 rope tricks. I am not sure if a beginner will be able to learn from the basic instructions but it was nice they added something. The rope is soft so that is something. maybe I would rate the other colors or white higher but I was expecting hollow as most magicians rope have some sort of core.

This is top quality rope for making your own tricks. Buy a good dvd or book to give you basics on rope presentations. I have seen top notch pros wow people witha simple rope.
