This is a timeless illusion, often known as the “Lasso” effect—now presented with premium props that make the miracle cleaner, stronger, and unforgettable.

A spectator freely chooses a card from the deck, remembers it, shows it to the audience, and returns it to the middle. The cards are tossed into a stiff cardboard bag sitting on the table. The magician then displays a rope approximately one meter long. One end of the rope is inserted into the bag, a gentle pull is made… and the impossible happens right before the audience’s eyes.

Hanging from the end of the rope is a single playing card, tied securely in a knot—the spectator’s chosen card.

The effect is direct, visual, and feels completely impossible.

This deluxe set includes a perfectly prepared rope whose secret is invisible even at very close distance. The accompanying bag is crafted from thick, rigid bristol board and can be shown empty both before and after the effect. Its design features a night-sky pattern, inspiring the name of the routine: Universe.

The bag is laminated for extra durability, protecting it from wear, dirt and premature damage. It can be folded flat for easy transport, making it practical for both professional magicians and enthusiastic performers.

Specially prepared rope—secret completely undetectable.
