I'm pretty sure P&T know how it's done. They just say that as a favor to Mac King to help sell his show since they're good friends. The trick isn't that hard to figure out. It's just fun to watch because of his showmanship.

I watched Mac King's Comedy Magic Show back in 2010 at age 10. When I was at his show, he actually invited me on stage to be Opie Taylor from the Andy Griffith Show for one of his magic tricks! He had me check out this tent and make sure there were no trap doors or compartments, then he showed me how he used a fishing pole. All of a sudden, this guy in a bear costume jumped out of the tent without warning and roared at me, scaring me to death. His show was so funny. I'll remember it for the rest of my life. Mac King is one of the best magicians ever.

@Wrrohm7 жыл бұрын
The best I can tell is this - He uses the original rope all the way through to the very end, until he says he's going to cut it to pieces. He pulls out the scissors and quickly moves a new rope already covered in knots from one hand to the other and starts cutting to pieces the original rope. Notice how stuffed of knots his hand is, even after letting loose the rope. It's because he's still got the original rope in it. Even when he pulls the knots off, there are WAY more in the first handful than the second handful. Plus you can see it the final rope looks bent out of shape like it was sitting balled up for a while. I had to watch this SEEEEVERAL times, but I think that's gotta be it. He is a master of the craft, without a doubt.

I bought the Fiber Optics rope trick by Richard Sanders.....and some of that routine is in this (or visa versa), and I could recognize it, although Mac King is very quick and skilled at it....So, I can follow him up to a point, but that last bit where he cuts the rope and restores it with all the pop knots....Wow! Spectacular. That's where he loses me....He probably made a substitution there, but....I'll be damned if I can spot it...I would LOVE to know how to do this.
@cydoniaquest5 жыл бұрын
Ok, I had to replay it back a couple times but I see now where he makes the substitution of the prepared rope for the ending...It's when he reaches into his pocket to get the scissors...He pulls out a ball of rope which he has palmed and quickly puts it into his left hand with his scissors hand, in the same motion he goes to cut the rope...Just amazing skill.....
@cydoniaquest5 жыл бұрын
My next question was, how does he ditch all the pieces that he really does cut up at the end? Well......he throws them at the camera at the same time he removes all those knots from the prepared rope...Very clever....Ends clean...nobody will count the actual pieces on the ground.
@cydoniaquest5 жыл бұрын
@Smoke DeGrasse Tyson Fiber Optics is an awesome trick...I do that at family gatherings and it's just instant entertainment. It's amazing what you can do with three pieces of rope...I like the Mac King version though where you are actually cutting it....It's more organic that way.....Although the stretching illusion is more impressive with three pieces. He's actually using a small piece and a large piece that he does cut from one piece of rope which requires really sharp scissors which is how he cut his thumb off in front of a live audience one time.......Sometimes the old classics are the best. Pop Hadyn has a great version of that as well that he's done for years.
