This is something I had in mind since a while. A trick I often practiced as a kid. It’s an old classic, and it was fully describe in the first book of Magic I had when I was a teen. This effect is the kind I love, because magic happens in spectator’s hands, and it’s a straightforward effect, which left your audience fully astounded without any clue for a normal explanation. You can hand out all the props, to your public, at the end of the performance. This is Magic that fits in your pocket !
Effect :
The magician introduces a dozen of old chinese wooden chips. Then he shows a silk cord about 50 cm in length. He threads one of the chip on the cord and puts the ends together so that it hangs perpandicular. The rest of the chips are threaded on the double cord, so that all the chips are stacked together on the perpendicular one. The cord is knotted at the end so that the chips cannot be removed nor by the end, where the perpandicular chip stands, nor by the top because of the knot.
The magician put a silk over the props and has a spectator hold the knot throught the silk. He reaches under the silk. In a few seconds all the chips fall from the cord in his hand. Then he asks to the spectator to remove the silk : To his astonishment, the perpendicular chip is still threaded on the cord and the cord is still knotted !
