Rope magic is fantastic, but it's extremely hard to find great rope. This is it folks! High-quality rope for your Cut and Restored or other rope routines. Mr. Magic Cotton Rope is the perfect solution!
I use this for a C&R rope routine and it's absolutely perfect for me. I wouldn't choose this to do Fiber Optics by Richard Sanders, but for my purposes it's good. For parlor shows, this is nicely visible and compact to carry. Stage shows might want a little thicker, but again, that's according to what you're doing with it. It does fray easily, but for the price it works for my show.
This is a quality item. I have tried finding my own rope at local hobby stores and nothing works as well as this rope when performing magic.
It seems this product is getting mixed reviews. For my purposes I found the rope to be sufficient and good value for money. I am no rope magic wizard, so perhaps my review does not carry that much weight. However for doing a few standard rope tricks it works pretty well in my books.
April 5, 2020I go through a lot of rope - about six feet per show. For years, I've been purchasing 300' spools of 3/8 inch, bright white rope from Denny & Lee. That source is now gone, so I'm on a search for a new supplier. Last week, I purchased five separate rope products from Vanishing Inc Magic. I often find that retailers don't provide the information I want to know about their rope products. Granted, they are likely providing whatever specs the manufacturer provides. Thus, I am writing reviews for the five products I have purchased and hope that you find them helpful.Cost: 24 cents per foot ($12.00 for 50 ft)Color: dull whiteThickness: 7/16 inch - with the core intact (1/16 inch wider than 3/8 inch)Core: yes - 12 threadsFeel: spongy and limp with the core in place / hollow and extremely limp with the core removedOther: This a tightly woven rope with a core of 12 individual threads. It is the core which gives the rope its spongy-like feel. The rope also has a very slight bumpy appearance, not quite as pronounced as the Pyramid Gold Magic brand of rope I reviewed. If you remove the core, you are left with a very limp rope with a hollow center into which a 5/16 inch Bic pen can easily be inserted.
This rope is serviceable and OK in a pinch. The price is reasonable for what you get. However, I will not be using it or purchasing it again. I prefer a rope with a little more weight and stiffness. In my hands this rope feels limp, Also, it frays easily.
