Effect- Three wooden beads are strung on a pair of strings. The strings are crossed and one pair is given to a person on the left; the other pair is given to a person on the right.The beads are covered with a handkerchief and beneath the cloth, they are mysteriously removed from the strings,Which are drawn tight by the surprised spectators.
Materials required:Three wooden beads with holes drilled through their centres. Small wooden blocks can be used instead. Two pieces of soft white string, Exactly alike and about two feet long. A bit of white thread.
What to do: Tie the thread about the center of the strings, which are laid together evenly. This enables you to bend back the ends of the strings, so they become two loops, joined at the center by the thread. Run them through the beads, So that the looped center is concealed within the middle bead.
Exhibited thus, the two strings appear to run straight through the beads in normal fashion. But when each person is given two opposite ends and the strings are pulled, the thread breaks, the beads drop off and the handkerchief is removed to show the strings as good as ever.
What happens: The beads naturally drop because only the thread sustains them. But the switch of the ends actually gives each person an end of each string, so they finish with the strings exactly as they were originally supposed to be.
Remarks: This is one of the oldest experiments in scientific magic, dating back to the jugglery of the Middle Ages, and from it have derived more intricate tricks that are still popular today.
