The 7OO-Year.Old Trick
Nobody Can Explain

THE history of the rope trick has been traced
in q most entertaining manner by 3. ".
Clarke, the editor Of the Magic Ctrcul41s
who describes it the most Elusive trick In ths
world, with the popularity that nobody who
wanted to see it had ever seen 1t, though the
popularity subsequently discounted By the
fact that at least two Of the speakers had sean
version Of the rope trick performed. Mr.. ClsEks
had traced a reference to it as far back ~ 1866,
when Ibu Batuta, an Arab from Tangier, wrote
that he had seen the trick performed at Hang
chau. Batuta wrote:
Il was entertained by the Enir in his own
house in a most splendid manner. At the ban
quet were present the Khan's jugglers, the ehisf
of whom took a wooden sphere in which there
were holes and in these long straps and threw II
up into the air till it went out of sight, while the
straps remained in his hand He then commanded
one of his disciples to take hold Of and to ascend
by this strap, which he did, until he also went ou.

but no answer came. He then took knife in his
hand, apparently in anger, laid hold Of the strap
and also went quite out of sight He then threw
the hand of the boy upon the ground, then his
foot then his other hand, then his other foot then
his body, then his head. He then came down.
painting for breath and his clothes stained with
blood. The juggler then took the limbs
of the boy and applied them one to another; he
then stamped upon them and it stood up eomplets
and erect. l was astonished and was seized in
consequence by palpitation Of the heart, but
they gave some drink and I recovered. The

mixed up the rope trick and the decapitation trick
