Rope magic
Criminy, how did this happen? I just realized
I know enuf rope tricks to put on clown make-up and start doing kiddie birthday parties and bar mitzvahs. I never started out to learn this stuff, but if you have a rope in your hand and the Internet on .... stuff happens. In some instances I find a false knot more interesting than a real one. I'm new at this knotting business, but I'll wager the history of knotting and rope tricks go hand in hand. I can imagine an old salt dockside entertaining his mates and passersby with feats of legerdemain. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that most modern rope sleight of hand owes its origin to the ancient mariners, bored on the high seas with too much time on their hands. Does the frivolity of rope trickery have any place with the serious knotting community? After all, "anyone" can make a knot appear..... Luke in Ca |

As you may have noticed, this isn't exactly a blazingly busy group. Even Clifford Ashley had a section in his book devoted to this stuff. Bring up what you had in mind. If people are interested, you'll get replies. Cheers, roo |
