Educated Block
by Jim Jayes
Effect
A wooden block is introduced as "Ed" your educated block of wood, a chip off of the old block. Your BLOCK is shown with a length of rope running through a hole in the center of it. Now the BLOCK is commanded to sit, stay, rollover, sit up and jump; however the kids are not impressed!
The performer stands on one end of the rope while the other end is held up in the air, showing the BLOCK suspended on the center of the rope. The BLOCK then proceeds to "stop or drop" on command, from the performer or anyone in the audience.
But wait, there's more! The magician proceeds to pull the rope through the BLOCK, but still the audience is unimpressed. Finally the rope is threaded through the BLOCK twice and with both ends of the rope held securely, the BLOCK is removed from the center of the rope. An impossible feat of magic!
Comes complete with wooden block, rope and instruction sheets.
Block Dimensions Approximately 3" x 3" x 3" (7.5cm x 7.5cm x 7.5cm)
