The front surface of the box is a hinged door that can be opened allowing a complete view of the inside of the box. On either side of the box are two circular openings. Each of these openings is covered with a little curtain that opens in the middle. This allows objects to be inserted into the box and does not allow spectators to look into the box from the side. On top of the box is a small trapdoor with two notches. These notches allow loops of rope to protrude from the top of the box.

The Magi brings out two pieces of rope - both a different color.
The ropes and the box can be thoroughly examined. The box is closed. The Magi makes a loop in each of the ropes and holds a rope in each hand. The hands enter the box through the side holes. The ends of the ropes are in view the entire time. the ropes are then poked thru the open trapdoor in the top. His hand grabs the loops of rope and brings them up through the trapdoor. The trapdoor is closed. The ropes are trapped in the notches and the centers of the ropes are concealed within his hand. Even though the ends of the ropes were in full view the entire time, when the Magi opens his hand it is seen that the ropes are now linked together. Grabbing a rope in each hand keeping them linked, the ropes are withdrawn through the top of the box. The ropes are genuinely linked together and can be examined.?

In phase two of the routine the ropes link a second time, under even more impossible conditions.

In phase three of the routine a solid metal ring links itself to a rope, even though the ends of the rope are in view the entire time.

Easy to Do!
