Indian Rope Trick Revealed

Writer Richard Wiseman investigated the source and mystery surrounding the infamous Indian Rope Trick. Apparently performed in the streets of India between 1850 and 1900, eye witness accounts of small boys disappearing at the top of the fakir's erect rope have never quite been proven. Wiseman covers as much ground as has been left behind raising more curious questions about this phenomenon.

Wiseman's essay on the subject is online via:
