World’s Greatest Magic – Professor’s Nightmare

Step into the enchanting world of magic with the Professor’s Nightmare, a timeless rope trick that has captivated audiences for decades. Originating in the mid-Fifties, this effect was masterfully created by Bob Carver, inspired by Hen Fetsch’s ideas. Its pure sleight-of-hand method was so groundbreaking that Carver had to reveal it to judges to win the IBM Originality Trophy in 1957. Later named by Gene Gordon, the Professor’s Nightmare showcases three ropes of different lengths magically transforming into equal sizes, a feat that remains a classic in the magic community.

This product brings you six unique performances, each offering a distinct perspective on this mesmerizing effect. Start with Michael Finney’s comedic rendition, refined through years of performances in comedy clubs, packed with tips to enhance your routine. Dan Fleshman presents a walk-around version perfect for strolling performers. Bob Read demonstrates how to personalize a well-known effect, while Al Schneider brings the mystery to the close-up table. Marc DeSouza’s stage routine, set to music, begins and ends with a single rope, and Dan Tong’s performance concludes with a fully restored rope, ideal for large table settings.

Don’t underestimate the Professor’s Nightmare as just another trick. As Michael Finney wisely puts it, “Don’t be embarrassed to do it. It’s a great trick. The layman loves it…and you’ll like it!”
