Effect A: Magician places a length of rope around his neck. He grasps the rope strands, each in one hand, and gives them a sharp pull. Amazingly, the rope penetrates the magician's neck. Effect B: The penetration of the rope can be combined with a silk vanish. The silk appears tied in the center of the rope while simultaneously passing through the magician's neck. Complete routine, gimmicked rope, silk vanishers and two regular 18" silks.
