Wonderope by Tannens

You uncoil a length of rope while holding it near the top and at the center so that the bottom end it touches the floor. Now let go of the top portion and it remains ridged. Now let go of the center and it stays vertical in the air about 6 feet high. Next you move your hands around the rope and it begins to wiggle around mysteriously. Grasp the rope and coil it up again.

At last a version of the Indian Rope Trick that can actually be performed.

Can be done on the largest of stages or in small settings about 5 feet away from your audience!
