	Rope trick effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From the Tumbler-Snapper test series in Nevada, 1952, showing fireball and "rope trick" effects.
		A rope trick is the whimsical term given by physicist John Malik to the curious lines and spikes which emanate from the fireball of a nuclear explosion just after detonation.
		The "rope tricks" which protrude from the bottom of the fireball are caused by the heating, rapid vaporization and then expansion of mooring cables (or specialized rope trick test cables) which extend from the shot cab to the ground.

		In the case of a fizzle the effects of the first part of the nuclear chain reaction prevent it to be continued, by blowing the material apart too soon.
		The dominant effects of a nuclear weapon (the blast and thermal radiation) are the same physical damage mechanisms as conventional explosives, but the the energy produced by a nuclear explosive is millions of times more per gram and the temperatures reached are in the tens of millions of degrees.
		Incendiary effects are compounded by secondary fires started by the blast wave effects such as from upset stoves and furnaces.

		Determining the length of the medium rope (m): Half of the short rope (s) plus half of the long rope (l) is the same length as the medium rope (m).

		For example, the first trick in the book is very simple, repeatable (yes, repeatable), can be viewed from any direction, and I have used it to fool professionals on several occasions.
		The tricks are broken into neat categories and cover enough ground so almost anyone can find something they like.
		While I only found 1 trick I could not figure out (I have gone through over 1/2 of the book) it often took longer than was necessary because of imprecise directions.

	The Magic Cafe Forums - Fraying Rope and Patter Opinions
		The approximate "middle" of the rope is found, cut, and the two ends that were just cut are tied together to join the "two" ropes.
		The method I use is to tuck the ends back inside the rope itself, (this only works if youve removed the core), however this leaves you wit a slieght bulge at the end but this shouldnt be a problem, another method is to dip the ends in glue.
		My problem is that with this rope, when it is cut (in this case, it is cut three times)it dramtically frays and it is those frayed ends that I use to tie the rope back together.

		The cause of the "rope trick" is the absorption of thermal radiation from the fireball by the rope.

		The effect is different, the working is different, however the set-up is similar (something hidden away), and you end up with a pair of shorts on a length of rope.
