I suppose the greatest cover if you had super powers would be to do naff conjuring tricks with them.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. (And no I don't have my underpants on the outside, it's a costume.)

This is the upload of the trick I was talking about. This is the audition tape shot with a simple hand held camera. (And please save me all that c*** (not the best) about shaky camera and the one or two times the rope hold is out of view. The guy was surrounded by all the people in the video including the guys on the left and right who would have seen if anything had been done out of camera view.) These are not stooges like the Criss Angel show. And this stuff was a simple "audition". (That is in quotation because to this day, I dont know who was auditioning who. Us or the magician). The guys holding the rope and in the truck are my guys. People I work with who are also investing in this. So dont give me c*** (not the best) about stooges please. That would be as stupid as Criss Angel performing a trick with his stooges then running to a private magician's forum to ask if the trick is real magic or not.

For what its worth. I AM ONLY POSTING THE VIDEO SO AS TO EXPLAIN HOW THE TRICK IS DONE IN CASE SOME DIDNT GET IT. So if your response is "Ah dude you used stooges or edited or camera tricks" Then please move on and dont waste your time with that stuff. (because If I did any such thing it would be completely stupid of me to then come here asking if some one can confirm the authenticity of the trick now wouldnt it)

I will say this one more time. The video is posted only to explain how the trick is performed. Not for the film experts to dissect and analyze the film picking out camera shakes and angles because ultimately this has absolutely nothing to do with the trick. (I assure you if you were there live you would have seen it exactly as it is on tape.)

As stated before I have the same trick on better cameras (2 of them) this time done with electrical wire with a huge street crowd around the guy right after they witnessed him hold 4 motorbikes, (two in each hand) and prevented them from moving or tearing him apart (And no he does not tie the bikes together). But this is part of a bigger project so I cant post it yet.

Here is the link to the video.

Now for all who are fair minded, I guess you will see why I am baffled as to how the trick is performed and if it is real magic or not. Its the simplicity of the trick. Some one seemingly has two ropes that have been clearly cut in his hands and he reassembles them. 4 ends can clearly be seen. At the end of the trick only two ends remain with nothing left in the magicians hands. (let me state this as well. This is not special rope, he can do it with wires as well, blades of grass anything you can loop.) You can bring the rope yourself as well

Ps.While I dont believe in magic, I am hoping I have struck gold and found what many have been looking for. I am hoping u guys are as baffled as I am about the trick. (again I dont want specifics. If some one knows how its done, I would just like for them to state, I know how its done. I have done it myself etc etc.)

I'll let someone else say it...


















....Actually, no - I won't; let's put this one to bed, right now:

I know how it's done (it's not even that subtle....).

...And so, with a wave of my splintery wand, there's a soft 'click'!
