I like this trick slot! It's simple and direct, yet maintains that feeling of wonder! The only downside to it is that a closely watching knot freak of a heckler might notice something. However that's a million in one chance right there. Overall a great buy for a beginner, or if you feel like showing off your skill and speed to some spectators!

Fun Trick

This is a fun and easy to do effect. You can perform this as a competition and you always will win. Its a great effect to teach a trick to someone interested in learning magic. I don't regret my purchase. Add it to your cart, you will love it.
Just look at the demo... as you can see, most of the time the reaction was like, "So what?". Teaching this as a single effect doesn't really make a whole lot of sense, since it has so little impact. It needs to be part of a much longer routine with effects that are a whole lot more interesting than this.
This is a very basic rope effect. By no means am I saying it's not worth learning... it's just not worth buying as a single effect.

BAD.

I was sad when I heard penguin released this years ago. Sure, it is a cool little trick, but COME ON! This thing is in Mark Wilson's Complete Course almost exactly as described here. That is a book EVERY beginner should not be without (or expert for that matter) and when you start selling tricks FROM that book for 5 dollars a piece on video, no one wants to buy the book anymore.
Sure, this is taught well. Sure, it is a cool little effect. However, it only lasts for around 30 seconds and you can find it in one of the classic texts in magic.
Save your money, buy a book.

Easy trick. Fun to do.

I admit it. I like easy tricks. This one os easy and fun to do. Take a nit of practice to make it look smooth, but once you get it down, it's really a nice effect. Well explained in the video. More of a close up trick. Kids like this one and find it baffling. Sometimes adults are unimpressed, but that's their problem. :)
