I have removed the method from the article as it is unsourced. This is following the guidelines laid out in WikiProject_Magic. If the method can be properly sourced, then it can be re-added. StephenBuxton (talk) 16:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

/==Method==

There are two ways this trick is commonly performed. Both methods involve misdirection of the audience to suggest the rope is cut in two when it is in fact not. This is usually accomplished by looping the rope in the palm of the hand while showing two additional rope ends to give the illusion the magician is holding 2 separate pieces of rope.

The additional ends either come from one end of the rope which was cut as though it was the middle (the simplest way to accomplish this is by tying an ordinary square knot between one end of the rope and its midpoint, then making the cut in the short end), or by palming an extra piece of rope of the same type.

Editors are encouraged to restore the material when they find appropriate sources, or to restore the content if the original removal of the material was in error, and to correct any errors in the method described. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 21:25, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
