Magic Tricks

I absolutely love this effect. It's easy to do. Packs small, plays big (I've performed this outside for an audience of over 100 people at a festival!)

My dad watched the demo video with me a long time ago and his reaction was, "What the H--?!" His initial reaction sold me and I have loved performing this effect all over the place.

And my justification for the ropes: I'm a magician. We do what we want!
Or something more mature like: All the greats used ropes and so I follow in their footsteps.

Or I just perform the routine silently ("Teller" style). Bottom line, great effect!
