Simple routine that would make decent filler or segway. If nothing else, you get rope for other tricks for a couple of bucks. Doesn't require a lot of patter.
This can be done as a feature effect, and has been by some of the greatest, including Slydini. To do this effect well, it actually takes some practice. I would give it a "2" difficulty rating, but it is a routine needing practice and rehearsal to present it well (more practice than a self-working trick). There are also several subtleties that can heighten the effect.
Slydini used to do his cut and restored rope effect, and then follow with this one, leaving the rope in the hands of a befuddled audience. It's fun to do, and can look like real magic.
There is a reason this effect became so popular! So, I would give the effect a 10! On the other hand, I am completely unfamiliar with the instruction set that comes with this version, so I can't comment on this particular version at all.
Best wishes-
