I'm not 100% sure who invented this one...(I think it was the genius, U.F. Grant).   Tenyo put out a version called "2 into 1 rope".   This is the same thing, but made with nice heavy yellow cotton rope.   The effect: you show a long rope and a short rope in your hand, then stretch them to be equal length, then in a flash, the two ropes visibly melt into one long rope! The instructions continue the routine with tying a knot in the rope and suddenly there are three knots, but I feel that part is anti-climatic...I just finish with the long rope and put it away.
Can't be examined, but it is not meant to be a highlight of the show...just a quick bit of magic to add to overall impact of the show. It is easy to do, and something you will use!
