Stiff Rope (Thick)
Magician displays a piece of rope about 30" long. Rope is
coiled over magician's hand to prove it is just an ordinary
rope. Now magician stretches the rope between his two
hands, horizontally, and pretends to hypnotize the rope.
One hand is now released and the rope stands rigid like a
stick. Magician merely blows on the rope and it falls down
limp once again.
