Jim Steinmeyer & Vortex Magic – Knot Unexpected (Gimmick Not Included)

Discover the magic of Knot Unexpected by Jim Steinmeyer, presented by Vortex Magic. This ingenious illusion is a testament to Jim Steinmeyer’s reputation as one of the most creative minds in magic. Originally crafted for Doug Henning’s touring show, Knot Unexpected offers one of the most practical and deceiving versions of the cut and restored rope trick.

Why Choose Knot Unexpected?

• Realistic Knife Design: Vortex Magic has spent over two years perfecting the knife for this illusion. Unlike other versions that were either too small or poorly made, this knife looks and feels real, ensuring a seamless performance.
• Easy to Perform: The design allows you to perform the moving knot and cut and restored rope with confidence and ease, using any piece of rope.
• No Gimmicks Needed: This illusion requires no trick ropes or magnets, making it a pure and visual spectacle that leaves your audience in awe.

The Effect

Two audience members hold a length of rope. A spot near the center is selected, the slack is taken up, and the rope is openly cut in the center. The magician then takes the newly cut ends and ties them into a knot. The magician slides the knot along the rope freely, demonstrating complete control. Finally, the knot is untied near one end, leaving the spectators holding two uneven lengths of rope. This baffling and visual effect is a true testament to Jim Steinmeyer’s genius.
