Adventures in magic M/F Part 1 The gypsy rope escape
Some years ago, me and a friend I had known from school did some fun performances of magic that involved her being tied up and doing escapes in her show, she was an upcoming magician and had just started performing some illusions and tricks, she even did a straitjacket escape and was into escapology, so I volunteered to help her out since she needed some assistance when she performed on stage, nobody else around where into magic and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to finally see my favourite magic trick called the gypsy rope tie escape. This is a great trick that so many magicians use in their shows, it’s almost always a female assistant or magician performing it and on Youtube there is loads of it from a channel called gypsyrope, just look it up and see its great. This illusion works like this, it’s an escape were the tied-up magician/assistant ends up with the volunteer’s jacket underneath the ropes after going into a hoop where the switch is made, it’s a very clever trick and there are some very particular knots applied when tying the performer. The hands are tied behind back first then a length of rope is tied around the neck and all over the body sometimes all the way down to the ankles, there is different ways to restrain the performer. I saw this as a great opportunity to introduce this trick and was eager to see her reaction. Her name was Thale she was 20-year-old at the time and around 5”4 or 163 cm in height, brown hair and brown eyes, beautiful and in great shape, slim body and long legs, she was very stylish and later studied fashion actually. It was summer and she was wearing blue denim shorts and a red hoodie with sneakers and her hair in a Ponytail, she had a nice tan and looked great I remember thinking. I showed a clip of a magician performing the escape and waited for her reaction, my heart was beating, I really hoped she would like my suggestion and that we could perform it. After a while she said.
“Hold on! I know this one, I have performed it before a really long time ago, that’s a great idea”
“Really? I love that trick; you still remember how to do it?” I responded, at this point I didn’t know how they did this.
“Yeah sure, I haven’t done it because I have had a solo act and I need some help to perform it, you could help me and do the tying and hold the curtain” She responded smiling at me.
That would be great, I want to see how it works” I replied, I was excited and could not wait to get to tie her up. Thale found the exact rope length that is needed and gave it to me, I started inspecting the rope and pulling it testing it.
“I learned this from a magic camp actually, I have always liked it actually” Thale said.
“Right, I think I know how to do this” I said ready to tie her up, I had watched videos of this trick so many times and I have always been good at tying.
Ok, here you go, tie me up” Thale said while she stretched out her hand for me to tie the first knot on, just like in the videos we had watched. I tied a knot around her wrist. Then she placed her hands behind her back just the right way with the hidden loop between her hands and turned around presenting her hands to be tied by me. I tied her wrists together rather tight and asked how it was.
“Nice and tight, good job your good at this already” Thale said smiling at me.
“Awesome, now the longer piece of rope around your body, right?” I spoke.
“Yes, that’s right”
I made a loop around her neck with the long piece of rope just as it is in this trick if you look it up and see any of the videos on Youtube. A few knots that prevent the rope from tightening around the neck, and then around her arms to the back and around her body all the way down to her ankles, some versions only go around the upper body, but Thale wanted the one was she would be completely tied up of course:)
“I’m now completely tied up and” Thale smiled and pretended to talk to an audience while she stood there tied up and ready to perform the escape.
“You ready to try this now escape artist?” I asked her, while I enjoyed the sight of her in the rope.
“Yes, bring put on the jacket” Thale said while she hopped around a bit, her legs were tied together so she had to jump around and balance herself. I put on a blazer jacket, the trick is that the blazer is going to switch from the volunteer from the audience inside the hoop, to the tied-up performer underneath the ropes. I stood in front of her while she was behind me all tied up. After a few minutes the jacket had switched from me to Thale while she was still tied up but this time with the jacket on her, she had made it and really nailed the trick.
“Yes perfect, you see. I told you I was good at this, it’s so cool to have another escape act in my show” Thale said enthusiastic about doing her rope escape.
I had finally seen this trick I had always loved live and even did the tying myself, I felt so excited and very ready to assist her in her upcoming show and I had some more ideas for magic that involved getting Thale tied up.
“This is so cool, I have many more ideas for escapes you can perform, you are so good at this Thale” I replied.
“I’m down to try your ideas, this was a great idea you are very good at tying” Thale said while smiling at me, she was still tied up and wearing the jacket.
“We can do some more twists and such, maybe you can escape the ropes completely in the end of the number?” I asked.
“Yeah, that’s a good idea, its not that hard I just need to keep practicing it, do you mind helping me this week? She asked me, of course I didn’t mind that.
“No, I help you, its fun to tie you up” I said and smiled at her enjoying myself.
“Well feel free to tie me up whenever you want, I guess” Thale said winking at me. Then we started practicing before the upcoming show.
To be continued.
