This is a great rope effect!
This effect by Aldo Colombini was recommended to me by Gary Michaels. Its basic form takes a few minutes to read the simple handling and its a great trick. But if you spend a bit more time practicing some extra moves it is even better.
Basically the effect is you start off with a knot in the middle of a rope. It jumps to one end, then the other at which time it turns to red. Then the red knot slides from end to end, but at the climax of the effect you hand the rope out to the audience and there is a real knot tied in the rope and when this is undone the rope is shown to have a red part dyed in it. So how did it move?
Just one rope and no scissors, easy to follow and very visual! Thanks Gary for recommending it – I too would recommend it to anyone, who doesn’t like to bother learning rope tricks. This one is money well spent!
