Grant) is a classic mechanical rope and block penetration trick. Multiple large, colorful wooden checkers (or square blocks) with center holes are threaded onto a heavy rope, and the ends of the cord are tied or held securely by two audience members. Despite the blocks being visibly trapped and locked on the rope, the performer magically penetrates and releases selected wooden checkers off the cord one by one—or all at once—without untying the knots or cutting the rope!\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\u003eU.F.
