Perthuis' Ropes (Gimmicks and Online Instructions) by Philippe de Perthuis - Trick

Borrowed rings, bracelets, and watches are threaded onto two ropes, then passed through the sleeves of a borrowed jacket. With two spectators holding the rope ends, you free the objects one by one—including the jacket—in Philippe de Perthuis’ interactive Rings and Ropes Mystery.

• Audience participation: Two spectators hold the ends of the ropes, making them part of the mystery.
• Borrowed objects and jacket: The routine uses watches, bracelets, or finger rings, along with a borrowed jacket.
• Freedom to perform surrounded: The supplied gimmick is described as having no angle restrictions, even when surrounded.
• Easy to do: The routine is designed as a 10- to 15-minute sketch with humor and surprising escapes.
• Ready to learn: Gimmick and ropes are supplied, with online instructions in French and English.

Use it as an audience-involving feature in a close-up or parlor set, with spectators close enough to hold the ropes themselves. The routine brings borrowed personal items into the performance and gives you a longer, playful piece to build around.
