"Hi, I'm Joe with Expert Village. And I'm going to show you some of the basic items that magicians use. This soft cotton rope is used for the trick restoring cut rope. The magician uses what we call wiffle dust, invisible to the audience, of course. Sprinkle it on the rope, rub it on the knot, and the rope is restored.
