CHINESE STICKS - SUPER
A positively uncanny reputation making effect using two 42 cm. lengths. The performer holds the two lengths side by side in one hand and it is seen that at the ends furthest from the performer a length of cord, with a tassel attached passes through the sticks and is affixed to a small ring on the top. The performer explains that by pulling the tassel on one of the sticks, this causes the other tassel to rise up to the stick. Obviously the cord must pass from one stick and into the other, but you now separate them at the outer ends and again pull on the tassel and once again the one on the other stick is drawn upwards. The audience thinks that the sticks must be connected at the ends nearest you and the cord must pass from one stick to the other at this point, but you disprove this by completely separating the sticks and tucking one beneath your arm. When you pull on the tassel this time, the one on the other stick still rises, as if they must in some way be connected, but they aren't! You can even allow the spectator himself to pull on the tassel, the result will be still the same. Little skill is required and the many combinations of moves possible are quite astounding. You can present this as a puzzle or make it a feature in your performance. Hand made in England in Davenports own workshops.
