The magician holds two sticks side-by-side, each with a cord hanging through one end terminated by a tassel or bead. Pulling down on the short cord of one stick causes the long cord on the other stick to pull upward instantly. Even after showing that the sticks are completely separate and disconnected—or separating them at a wide angle—the mysterious, invisible connection remains, allowing the performer to operate the strings flawlessly before a surprise comic reveal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Add It to Your Repertoire:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandcrafted by noted vintage builder and inventor Lloyd Chambers (Topeka, KS) around the late 1930s to 1940s, Chambers' props are renowned among magic historians and collectors for their exceptional mechanical precision and smooth operation.
