A well presented routine, the details were well explained of this old rope trick, The fake Count, and showing the different lengths at the end.

Very clearly explained, however will take some practice to do it smoothly and with confidence. In front of a mirror would be wise. I myself needed to learn the moves one step at a time, but that's just me.

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 15th, 2004
This has been around for a lond time. No wonder! I love this effect. I'm 11 years old and I've been doing magic for 3 years, and at first, I thought it was going to be hard. And then I did it! You can do this trick on your first day of magic!

A Foundation Stone Of Magic! Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 25th, 2017
I did not purchase this from Penguin but I have been performing it for over 25 years. Invest some time in this trick and it will pay you back 3x,6x,12x dividends. Try to learn from a magician who already does it. Makes it easier to understand. There is soooo much show you can make out of this one trick! My fav is to stretch them and throw them over my shoulder then walk around my (close up) crowd and convince them that they are hypnotized before returning to the front and returning them to their original size. Really a foundation of magic!

Good Trick Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 30th, 2013
This trick starts and ends clean. The audience inspects the ropes before the performance and after the performance. The ropes are truly not gimmicked. It is easy to learn. Ropes are inexpensive. The props do not occupy much space, so are relatively portable. And the effect is has on the audience is great. There is potential to involve the audience and make your performance interactive if you ask them to guess the sizes.

Classic Rope Trick Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 5th, 2010
I purchase this trick ages ago under the name of "Equal Unequal Ropes" and I still use it today. This is one of the best rope tricks out there. All you need is three pieces of normal rope. When you perform this, everything can be handed out before and after the routine with no switches. I've always gotten great reactions with this trick and I'm sure you will too. As a bonus, it's really easy to learn too.
