Hi all. I'm back. I'm looking for a video for the Tabary rope routine. I think the video is by Paul Harris but I could be wrong. Cant remember the name of the video either. Anybody know what video I'm looking for?

Thanks,

There's a double DVD by Francis Tabary called 'The Award Winning Rope Magic of Tabary'. I don't know of anything by Paul Harris though

I hate that trick with a passion. The routine goes on and on and on with complication after complication. As my old friend Murray the escapologist would say, "Conjuring for conjurers". It doesn't mean a thing to layman. I far prefer the Malini dictum, "Cut the rope once and restore it-that's enough" I confess to cutting it and restoring it twice, probably to the disapproval of Malini, but that is certainly more than enough. Any more than that you are on the verge of making the audience hope you are going to hang yourself.

Magicians really need to learn to simplify things rather than complicate them. Many of my tricks come from children's books and I am quite happy with them.

I actually really love Tabary's routine. A while back I performed it to some ska music and had really good fun with it.

I'm with you Lady of Mystery I really like this routine, It brings a lot more to rope magic than the stuff you normally see. Ok like I said I was wrong about the video I was looking for being by Paul Harris. The one I was looking for is Fiber Optics by Richard Sanders. If you havent seen it check it out, its definately worth a look.

Thanks,
