Sutekina Trick

[David (Felderswynne)]

Hello Everyone,
I have heard there is a knock off Sutekina/Rope of Calcutta out there somewhere. I was looking for the knock off to find how it's done and to tinker with it to possibly build an improved effect. As the Tenyo version is an expensive trick, I have to settle with a knock off. If such a knock off exists, does anyone know who sells it?

[David DeTenyo]

A wonderfull trick is made and sold by Alan Warner: Thru 'n Thru. Made out of wood, works great and looks wonderfull. It isn't that expensive.
Another variation is sold by Hocus Pocus: http://www.hocus-pocus.com/magicshop/. It is named Ribbon Fantastique and sells for 80 USD - also made out of wood.

And David, this is the cheapest version you're looking for: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Plate-through-R ... 4ad42ead6e

You're not quite right David... I have a portable version of this trick for only 4,50 Euro :

Woopsydaisy! Never seen that before - looks interesting Where did you find it?

David and David, the small version is called Stitch-O and is for sale for 5 Euro at Dynamite Magic. NL http://www.dynamitemagic.nl/shop/index. ... ts_id=5289

Thanks Rob, that would be the fourth version of this trick I would own, but it will be placed with my next order, in a year or so I'm afraid

[David (Felderswynne)]

The version from the Netherlands appears at first glance to be adaptable as a stage illusion (this is an opinion given
without knowing how the effect is done). The other one might be adaptable for a children's story. Does anyone know if they all work on the same principle?

[Rob Rand]

Yes the principle is the same in all versions.

Hi everyone,

First of all, I like to apologize that this trick is not performed by original prop either created by Edward Massey himself called Ribbon Fantastique or by Tenyo (Sutekina Trick). I bought this trick few years ago and I came up to the idea on modifty the prop become a theme and I came up with the Houdini in the Boston City Prison, which I think everything fits together. The prop itself now looks more like a mini illusion and with a little bit variation of some elements it can be shown both sides and delivers stronger climax. I hope you love the basic idea on this variation of routine.

Cheers,
Victor

Wonderfull!!...another mini stage illusion!!

[Rob Rand]

Victor, this is one of your coolest videos … EVER!

I love the dark theme (!!!) the VERY slick performance, the wonderful addition of the cloth…

The sliding front and back is … hallucinating

This video is simply SUPERCOOL and the performance is PERFECT !

Thanks Roberto and Rob, really appreciate it . My version and hadling of Sutekina was inspired by David Copperfield TV Series, Escape From Alcatraz where he raise bed cloth in front of the bars and suddenly escape.
