Well I'm sure like with all magic tricks once you know how its done you go doh ! how come I didn't think of this. Mostly very very simple solutions to some of the biggest tricks ever performed like making the satatue of liberty disappear by david copperfield
A person minds refuses to think of the simple solutions and start to figure out complex ways of how its done, when it truth its the simple ones.
As for the rope trick there still havent been a proper reveal to how its really done.
Just for fun check out Kevin James cutting a man in half with a chainsaw trick recently shown on Americas got talent. Pretty jaw dropping when you see it 1st
