[edit] Killings

"It is also believed that sometimes actually two boy assistants were involved, and one got actually killed."
Is there a source for this? It seems very unlikely that boys would continue to be assistants, on the certain knowledge that one of them would be killed each time the trick was performed. I think this would need a reference were it to be kept. — Asbestos | Talk (RFC) 11:16, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Moved

Moved the following from the main page: "The name author of The Rise of the Indian Rope Trick is Peter Lamont, NOT Peter Lamot.' It was posted by some annonymous user. --Bhadani 10:28, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction

This article clearly contradicts itself by saying

"been performed in and around India in about the 1800s. "

and then contains an entire paragraph with accounts of occurrences of it back to Marco Polo. This clearly contradicts the first line.
