Cut and restore rope trick

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The cut and restore rope trick is a magic effect where the performer will cut a piece of rope, tie it together and then magic away the knot leaving an untouched rope.

The performer sometimes asks a member of the audience to try to perform the trick with him on stage, and they are inevitably surprised to find that the magician's rope is restored at the end of the trick while their rope is not.
