THE ONE ROPE TRICK

Postby dat8962 » Mar 4th, '06, 21:59



This is the 'ONE ROPE' version of 'Fibre Optics' as taught on Richard Sander's DVD of the same title.

You'll notice a different beginning and end which results in an instant re-set and as well as a couple of different moves, there are some variations in the handling between this and the three rope version which I've posted for comparrison.

Hope that you enjoy :lol:

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

That was amazing! I'm completely baffled! You had the routine down pat. I am not a fan of rope tricks, but wow. That was amazing. I liked the music as well :D
Thanks,

That was brilliant and very enjoyable to watch! Great showmanship and a great performance. It was engaging and flowing (and very deceptive at the same time :D) !

I think that it prbably wouldn't be ok, as this requires a lot of practice, and you would be better buying the DVD, as this would be very difficult to explain in words!

I found that amazing Dat. Well Done!

Dave, your rope magic never ceases to amaze me. I love that I can just forget about the moves and methods and just enjoy a brilliant routine.

Your timing and acting is in perfect concert with the effect itself. The return to a bit of Satch was also nice! :lol:

Outstanding as usual!

Thanks for the encouraging words everyone :lol: .

Ippy - buy the DVD and you won't be disapointed :lol: The endless loop realy doesn't work on it's own anyway. I posted a variation on Firbre optics a while back and in case you didn't see it I've put the link below. This is how I prefer to perform it although with a smile or two :lol: .

Demitri - I just love Satch's guitar work and it's a real chore working out which track works best as they are ALL top notch. I bought 5 Steve Via albums a few weeks ago but can't get on with most of his stuff. However, there are a few that I like a lot and am working on some rope routines to fit (it should be the other way around :oops: ).

I should have my Tabary routine sorted by the weekend and will make a video post shortly afterwards. Totally different rope handlings with Tabary than with Sanders, Flip & Gallos, despite some of the moves looking the same. It's taken some time to get used to working with a 9 feet long piece of rope :roll:

Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to post.
