Add a strong visual finish to the Professor's Nightmare...
There are precious few effects in magic which have been more universally accepted and performed than "Professor's Nightmare." Originated by the late Bob Carver of Macon, Georgia, and popularized by Hen Fetsch; with whom the effect is usually associated. The trick where three different size ropes all become the same size and then change back into unequal ropes again. If there is any weakness in the effect, it is the ending; which most magicians perform according to the standard method. Namely, they fold the ends and extract the ropes one at a time - showing them to be different sizes. In an effect, where the ropes visually change to be all the same length, why not change them back in a similar manner? Our handling enables you to just that - by transforming the ropes back into unequal lengths seemingly by just passing your hand over them.
If you already perform "The Professor's Nightmare," this variation only calls for a few modifications to the way you already do the trick and is no more difficult than the standard presentation. If you don't do "The Professor's Nightmare" yet, over two dozen photos make learning this routine with the improved climax a breeze. In addition, we've added in Don Lawton's very funny patter (hence the name of the routine); which is sure to add laughs when you perform this classic effect. No special ropes are required and we explain how to quickly make up a set using your own magician's rope or any other soft cotton rope you may have on hand. Routine only, no rope supplied. If you perform for kids or families, this trick can't be beat. 7 pages.
