Magician's Nightmare

Postby Lash » Jul 6th, '06, 02:52



I'm curious if anyone has gotten the Magician's Nightmare and if so, what did you think of it? Is it worth it?

For those who may not be familiar, it is like the Professor's Nightmare only at the end the three ropes really are the same length and can be handed out for examination.

Just curious.

I bought it a few years ago.

Never used it.
Not because it's a bad idea, but because the gimmick is almost totally impossible to manipulate.
Spent ages trying it, and not once did it work.

Biggest waste of money on the market......

I've found that most rope gimmicks to be similar in that they are hard to work and conceal at the same time.

So much better using un-gimmicked rope that can be given away afterwards

It's not really an optical illusion - it just looks like one!

Thank you both for the info. That's exactly what I needed to know.
