I’ve posted my uncle, Johnie Gentle, doing this trick before. This is a new version. The previous version was filmed in my home. This version was filmed in front of a small audience of friends and family. This is also the first trick I ever uploaded to Youtube about 4 years back. It’s nice to redo it again.

This has always been my favourite of favourite magic tricks. It’s also one of mankind’s favourites. This trick is old. It is so old that the Pharaohs of Egypt watched this trick. They have found drawings of magicians performing the cups and balls on the walls of tombs in the ancient river kingdom.

Rincewind — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 23:00:58 +0000

The quick cut and restored rope trick, I posted on Youtube 3 years ago, has become the most watched of all my videos. However, the quick trick is only a small part of a much larger routine. The full routine is a combination of many tricks all done with the one piece of rope. Here you can see my uncle, Johnie Gentle, performing the Full Cut and Restored Rope Trick in front of a small audience of friends and family.

My uncle, Johnie Gentle, shows you how to get a coin through the narrow neck of a beer bottle and back out again. It should be completely impossible but yet here he is doing it. A true magic trick.

The Equal/Unequal Rope Trick

Rincewind — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 23:00:59 +0000

This was one of my favourite tricks as a kid. I was amazed by the complete impossibility of what I saw. How can three ropes of different length stretch to become the same length before my very eyes. I couldn’t work it out. Thirty years later it still looks as improbably impossible as it did when I was a kid. Check out my uncle, Johnie Gentle, performing the great Equal/Unequal Rope Trick.

Magicians are often accused of using marked cards. In truth, usually they don’t, but in this trick the cards are quite clearly marked. Can you spot the markings and tell the trick?
