Mac King rope trick
I normally post about science. Or books. Or films. Damn it, I don’t really have a theme. So I might as well bring you magic as well. This is legendary Las Vegas magician Mac King doing his legendary rope trick.
Apparently Mac King did this trick on the Penn and Teller show where they try and see if they can work out exactly how tricks are done. They couldn’t, and those guys are genius. It is obviously sleight of hand but that is just an easy, dismissive way of explaining a lot of magic. It is pretty damned impressive to pull off the logistics of such a trick. (I said that confidently but have absolutely no idea if it is true.)
In way of another miracle, I will shut up and share the clip. Enjoy.
