This is one of the classic effects of Magic, as popular and effective today as it was many centuries ago when first created. We supply a professional outfit, with each stick measuring some 14" long. The magician displays a pair of red sticks, with a cord apparently running though them. When the cord is pulled at one end, the opposite end on the second stick is pulled in, and vice versa. The audience is obviously un-impressed, till the two sticks are separated at the top, to show there is no connection between them. Again as you pull one end of the cord, the other end is pulled in, and so on. The audience will soon tell you that the cord passes through the bottom of the stick, where they are held together. Once again the sticks are separated at the bottom, and you show them both separately, with no connections between them of any sort. In spite of this, the cords behave as one continuous length of string, with one end receding as the other end is pulled out. This is a first rate children's item, with excellent comedy potential.
