Cut and restore rope trick

Illustration of "The Cut String Restored" from the 1885 book Modern Magic showing how a second, smaller length of string can be presented as if it were part of the original larger piece[1]

The cut and restore rope trick is a magic effect in which the performer cuts a piece of rope (usually tied into a knot) which then appears to be magically restored. Sometimes the trick is done with a piece of string, a handkerchief, or a turban instead of an actual rope.
