Magic Rope Trick
To perform the trick,
you will need a thick rope and a ball.
Effect:
1. Put a ball
on a table. Stretch a rope out with two hands and loop it
underneath the ball. Say the Magic words:
Shimmer Shimmering
2.
Move the rope away from the table
swiftly and magically balance the ball on it.
3. Rock the ball from side to side and
bounce it up in the air.
4. Allow the ball to drop on the floor
and as it bounces up, catch it on the rope again.
5. You can also bounce the ball up and
down on the rope as you are balancing it.
5. Turn the snapper inside
out from the bottom of the pieces. Practise the snap by
throwing the snapper in the air.
6. Then stretch the rope in an angle
and allow the ball to roll down.
Repeat the routine a few times by lifting one hand higher
then the other alternatively.
The Secret of Trick:
7. In fact there is a strong nylon
thread attached to the two ends of the rope. However, you
need to use both your thumbs and your index fingers to
adjust the correct tension of both the rope and the thread.
Tips:
It is important to use a very bouncy ball which is made of
relatively light material. In order to make your act more
interesting, you need to have more variations with your
balancing and bouncing routines.
