The Astonishing Effect

Prepare to mesmerize your audience as you present a simple length of soft cord. You propose to cut it into two seemingly equal pieces, yet upon cutting, the pieces are undeniably unequal. With a touch of theatrical charm, you seemingly 'restart,' and the cord is magically restored to its original, unbroken state. This impossible feat is then repeated, further solidifying the mystery and leaving spectators scratching their heads. For the grand finale, you tie the cord's ends to form a loop, cutting it at the point opposite the knot. Yet, astonishingly, the cord once more becomes whole, ready for immediate inspection. This isn't just a trick; it's a masterclass in misdirection and magical presentation that will leave an indelible impression.

Original Specs

This came from an old magician’s estate. It was still in the original unopened package. Comes with rope and the original 16 page illustrated instructional booklet which gives step by step directions. The instructions are slightly toned from age but are still very readable.

Effect: A length of soft cord is shown in the left hand. Explaining that you propose cutting the cord into two equal pieces the center portion is also taken in the left fingers and the cord cut at this point with a pair of scissors. The two pieces however are seen to be of unequal length.

Placing the lower ends into the left hand and remarking to the audience, “Do you mind if I start all over again as it is really most important that the cord should be cut into two
exactly equal pieces?” The cord is pulled out and shown completely restored!

It is again cut as before with the same result – two unequal pieces – and once more restored!

You then say that perhaps the best way to find the center will be to tie the ends together forming a loop and to cut the cord at the point opposite the knot. This is done and the two tied pieces are gathered up into the left hand.

On being pulled out again the cord is once more whole and is immediately offered to the audience for inspection.
