This is probably the most visual, instant, magical opener you could wish for. Two ropes, held one in each hand, wide apart. You swing them together and they magically join to form one long rope which is immediately given for examination. You quite simply can't get cleaner and more magical than this and it's a great way to lead into your other favourite rope routines. NO MAGNETS, THREADS, WIRE, FASTENERS OR OTHER SUCH GIMMICKS. NO SKILL REQUIRED.
