17. The Rope — Description
Quinn: "So this is the rope that holds up the blade. You've probably seen it before. We used it for our 'Table of Death' illusion".

Anton: "Yeah, I get how it works, we light a torch and set it against the rope, the magician has to escape before the rope snaps".

Quinn: "Pretty much but we're a bit more modern than most, all you have to do is press this switch and the fire will light from beneath. Because it's so simple though, I usually like to gesture a bit, to play up the drama and tension of the escape. We have to keep the audience on the edge of their seat".
