These are followed by such tricks as the "e;Vishnu Rope Mystery"e; and the "e;Hindu Turban Mystery"e; in the chapter entitled "e;Cut-and-Restored Rope."e; In "e;Ropes That Think"e; he demonstrates such fascinating maneuvers as "e;Liar's Ropes"e; and "e;Séance."e; You'll also learn how to do a one-hand figure eight, perform a "e;double-ring ceremony"e; and make an endless chain.Novice magicians as well as veterans can learn these foolproof tricks quickly and easily with Karl Fulves' clearly worded instructions and over 400 step-by-step illustrations.
