Bottle &
rope illusion

(medium)

you'll need:

  • An empty bottle (like a refillable bottle, it’s best if you can’t see through it)
  • A length of rope or thick string (about 50–60 cm)
  • A small ball made of foil (about 2–3 cm wide)

Adult supervision required

  1. Show the Bottle and Rope
    Let your audience inspect both (or pretend to).
    Keep the foil ball hidden from view.
  2. Drop the Rope In
    Lower the end of the rope into the bottle.
  3. Hold the bottle & pull
    Turn the bottle upside down so the foil ball lodges against the inside wall near the neck.
  4. The Magical Lift
    Hold the bottle up, and the rope will float from within the bottle.
  5. Release
    Hold the bottle on its side and give the rope a flick.
    This will dislodge the foil ball.
    The rope slides right out—clean and empty!
