When I saw this I wasn't very impressed with the colors of the rope. After I received it and watched
the DVD, I understand completely why the choices were made. This is a great, high-quality set of
linking ropes. It is made primarily for a stage or parlor set, though it could be done close up if
you have enough background noise to overpower the "click" of the gimmicks. The design of the ropes
allows you to handle them freely and the spectator can be fairly close and not see a thing, but they
can hear them "talk" if you aren't careful.
The included routine is good, but brief. There
are some great handling tips on here though, including a way to hand out all the ropes for
examination beforehand so the spectators can see they are real (at least, that's the way it will
look to the spectators). Jeremy goes into detail on the basic moves and his short routine, but the
power of this effect will come from what you do with it. This is one you'll definitely need to
tailor to your own personality and presentation in order to make it work. And doing this to music is
almost a must.
