Rope Through Body

While attending the "Get-Together" in Colon, Michigan, I was having breakfast at a table next to my friend Bob Bloenk. He shared with me a motivational message he uses with the famous "Rope Through Body" trick made popular by Bob Sheets.

With Bob's permission I pass it along to you:

"Imagine with me that life is like a piece of rope. This rope is like the the path we take. You will make choices as you make the twist and turns while traveling down your path. When you are young you start here and travel toward the end of your rope. Me, I am about here, near the end of my rope but you are young and will soon find that life is full of exciting moments created by the choices you make. You have the power to choose which side of the road you will travel. You can choose happiness or fear and frustration. Its your choice. You don't have to follow the guy in front of you. You get to choose which side of the road you are going to travel.

Here's a word to the wise....happiness does not come from money, possessions, or fame....it comes when you find joy, peace and love. Remember we are all just passing through this life. You can't take money, possessions and fame with you when you leave. Therefore may love, joy and peace be with you always."

If you don't know the trick of passing a rope through your body here is a link to Bob Sheets Website: http://joltofreality.com/

Look for the HANG'EM HIGH DVD.

Back in 1993 I included a trick in one of my gospel lectures called "Crossing the Line." This was inspired by the Rope Through Body trick except I used the barricade tape commonly used by police reading "Police Line Do Not Cross." Today you can find it in party or novelty shops.

My version of that trick was all about what happens when we cross the lines and put ourselves in danger. I created a gimmick just for the barricade tape to allow it to pass through your body.

If you want to know more about that effect, email me.
