About this deal

The magician wears loose baggy clothing, in which are concealed the "body parts" that he tosses down. This trick is a classic of comedy magic but can also be used seriously depending on your presentation. Then a noisy distraction from other members of the troupe is the misdirection needed which allows the climber to drop unseen to the ground and hide. Looking for something a little thicker, perhaps to make your own rope tricks such as Professor's Nightmare? Now uncoiling the rope you stretch the rope between the two hands, horizontally, and pretend to hypnotize the rope.

In his commentary on Gaudapada's explanation of the Mandukya Upanishad, the 9th-century Hindu teacher Adi Shankara, illustrating a philosophical point, wrote of a juggler who throws a thread up into the sky; he climbs up it carrying weapons and goes out of sight; he engages in a battle in which he is cut into pieces, which fall down; finally he arises again.But, as Jasper Maskelyne says, that's not quite the same trick as the one that's been created in myth and legend. However, the courtyard had been filled with dense smoke and when he had developed the photographs they revealed that "neither the juggler, nor the boy, nor the rope had moved at all. The place could be any open area chosen by the neutral party and agreed to by the conjurers, and the spectators could be anywhere in front of the carpet on which Karachi would be seated.

The retraction received little attention, and in the following years many claimed to remember having seen the trick as far back as the 1870s. Whilst holding the loose ends firmly together, they then add (and later remove) a solid silver ring.The lifter continues to look upwards and holds a conversation with the "climber" using ventriloquism to create the illusion that a person is still high in the air and is just passing out of sight. If you can carry a piece of rope in your pocket, you're ready to perform some amazing magic, for a few people gathered around you, or for an audience of hundreds! Holmes later admitted this, but the photograph was reproduced by the press in several magazines and newspapers as proof of the trick having been successfully demonstrated. He said that the descriptions of the trick in Yule's editions (1870s) of Marco Polo's book are not in the body of the work, but in a footnote by Yule, and only refer to these non-classic accounts. The real challenge was to perform the full trick including the disappearance of the boy in broad daylight, outside in the open air.

It has always been the outdoor disappearance of the climber, away from trees and structures, which has led to claims the illusion is "humanly impossible". McKeague's explanation not only solves the mystery of the mid-air disappearance but also provides an alternative explanation for the Wiseman-Lamont observation discussed above that eyewitness reports were more impressive when much time had elapsed.

He demanded that "the rope must be thrown into the air and defy the force of gravity, while someone climbs it and disappears. After several decades, what might have originally been a simple trick had become a highly elaborate performance in their minds. Thurston considered this to have never been achieved and in 1927 offered a reward of 5,000 rupees to anyone who could demonstrate it. It was examined by Robert Elliot, who stated it was not a demonstration of the Indian rope trick but an example of a balancing trick on a bamboo pole. Many wizards worked out stage versions, but to date, no magician has done it in the open air, away from trees or buildings.
