This is a fine impromptu effect that I have used on and off the stage for many years. There is a fairness and squareness about it that makes it very illusive.
Effect
A piece of soft clothesline is brought up into a loop, and loop cut. Performer shows that rope is in two pieces about the same length. The rope is restored into one piece again.
How it is done
The method, 12 drawings and all it needs, inside the library.
