The Gordian Knot by Josh Burch
Create an impossible object that you can give away when you're done! Tie an impossible knot in full view, inches from your audiences eyes.
Imagine being able to tie a knot that can never be untied. It's the stuff that legends are made of! Inspired by Alexander the great Josh Burch has created a visceral illusion that becomes more impossible with time. It sounds like a tall task, but that’s the miracle Josh Burch has solved with The Gordian Knot.
Here’s what happens:
You show the audience an ordinary rubber band. First, you demonstrate that you can put a twist in the band without taking it off your fingers. Then you do the impossible by tying a knot in a single strand of the rubber band. The knot appears in full view and can never be untied unless you cut the band in half. The rubber band can be examined by the spectator and even kept as a souvenir.
Not only do you learn the routine, but Josh has included an in-depth tutorial on gaffing rubber bands, with the gracious blessing of Hondo Chen.
The routine is easy to do, and the perfect addition to your rubber band magic. Josh also teaches a bonus effect with the gimmick that you’ll want to add to your own linking rubber band routine. Level up your rubber band magic with The Gordian Knot.
