Block Cord by Woodmagic Studio

A beautiful version of the classic effect, Blok-Kord, invented by Lyman Allen c. 1941.

The ropes and block are very solid and flow very easily. And because there are no gimmicks to worry about this bad boy is always ready to work. There is a simple move to learn but because the dimensions of the rope and block are perfectly designed it works so smoothly you’ll quickly forget you’re doing it! Howard Hale has created a beautiful version that is certainly the prettiest and most robust version I have seen. With a 3″ block, inlaid trim and brass tipped satin cord.

Effect: A Golden Oldie From The Past! A block penetrates a rope, simply and beautifully—once or many times. Even in the spectator’s own hands! Each time more amazing than the last! This trick has fooled some of the best minds in magic due to the fact of the very subtle and simple method used to accomplish the trick. You will receive a length of rope with stiff brass end covers. A hand-crafted, old world-style solid Wooden Block approximately 3 inches in size.
