How to explain the "fairy tale" with science?

- one is "a straight rod through the ground", the performer dug a dark pit under the bamboo basket in advance, and so on, when the magic show through the dark pit will be the straight rod into the rope; there is also a view that it is Similar to the current fishing rod plus a spring button or something like that, friends who have studied engineering know that there is an instrument called leveling on the site survey, with the leveling ruler has a common name called telescopic tower ruler. And hemp rope filled with round telescopic tower ruler.

Let's start by explaining the first principle.

Because the magic trick is not performed in a random place, but generally in a place that has been found beforehand. Instead, a pit is dug in the ground, which is capable of holding a person and a number of support bars.

During the magician's performance, we feel that the magician has randomly placed the basket on the ground, but in fact the basket is facing the bottom of the hole. And the bamboo basket with the rope seems to be integrated with the bottom of the basket, but in fact the bottom of the basket can be taken down similar to the mortise and tenon structure.

When the performer puts the basket on and starts to play the flute, the person who hid in the hole beforehand will secretly steal the bottom piece of the frame.

The cooperator hidden under the hole will slowly feed the rope that has been threaded through the support pole upwards beforehand, and because this support pole inside is put together piece by piece, there will be a pause as it is pumped upwards.

The performer, hidden underground, adjusts the rate of ascent to the beat of the music. When the music stops, the person below stops the rope's ascent. When the rope is almost up, the performer will find a child to climb up the rope.

Some careful viewers will notice a detail, in the child ready to climb the rope when the performer did not let the child directly step on the basket up, but directly to the child to hold the rope above.

If there was nothing fishy about the frame, the child could have stepped on the basket, and there was no need for an adult to carry it, so the basket was part of the blindfold.

Because the weight of the child is not very large, so when the child climbing the rope does not lead to the upper center of gravity of the rope shift too much, so the person hiding underneath the good support, if you find a grown man or a fat child to climb the rope, hiding in the hole may not be able to support.

The second application of the principle is relatively simple.

The bottom of the box is in fact buried in the bottom of a fixed telescopic rod, in the upper end of this telescopic rod has been installed spring mechanism. One detail that can be noticed in the few videos that exist is that the performer touches the frame a couple of times before playing the flute to bring the rope back to life, and then starts to play the flute slowly.

During the process of playing the flute, the sound begins to rise. So the performer is probably activating the mechanism before he plays the flute. The telescopic rod contains some kind of spring-delayed mechanism, similar to the way small toys are wound up nowadays.

Once activated, the mechanism begins to release one by one, slowly raising the telescopic pole with the force that has been built up. The clockwork, or pre-stressed spring, has a limited amount of stored energy.

So this rope is not able to rise after a while.

The probability of a telescopic rod is perhaps a little higher for both items today, because the magician closes the rope by stroking it somewhere, and then the rope starts to fall dramatically, dramatically, and the length of each fall is again about the same as the depth of the frame.

And an important feature of the telescopic pole is that it gets thinner as it goes up.

When a child climbs this rope, they will notice that there is a clear sense of fullness in the lower rope, and the higher up the rope they climb, the weaker the rope becomes.

However, no magician has yet been able to completely imitate the rope trick because the technique is relatively difficult to construct.

The mystery of the rope trick is still alive, as the existing Indian performers have not revealed it.

Although there are many magicians at home and abroad who have successfully imitated the Indian rope trick, most of them have borrowed modern equipment to do the trick, and no one can do it without the current technology.

Therefore, the principle of the magic is just some reasonable guesses made by outsiders. But what is certain is that the reason why the rope is slowly going up is that there is a constant stream of filler in it.

But as for what kind of filler or how to plug in the way no one completely understand.

The Immortal Sacred Rope is a long-established magic trick that has been documented in many Ming and Qing novels, such as Liaozhai Zhiyi, and is known as the Rope Technique.

It is said that during the performance, the rope will ignore Newton's coffin plate and go up into the sky, which is a kind of magic or illusion, but of course it can not violate the laws of nature, such as the Earth's gravity.

In the Liaozhai novel Stealing Peaches is described this way: the performer is also a street performer, can throw the rope into the air, the rope will rise higher and higher in the air, and the child can climb along the rope upwards, up to the sky to steal peaches, the child finally disappeared in the clouds, and finally the rope breaks, the child's limbs fall down.

The crowds watching the show are scared silly to give money, and then the little child then smiles out of the wooden box and worships everyone. Pu Songling also wrote that this old and young entertainers, descendants of the White Lotus sect, gave the crowd an illusion, or a kind of hypnosis, and made money everywhere.

Nowadays, it is said that this skill of God's clues has been lost, but in India, the open country next door to us, there is a similar magic that exists, called Tongtian rope.

Of course the Indian show is also able to put up the seemingly flimsy rope, and can be used for small children to climb, omitting the big change of life in the story of Chatty Stealing Peaches.

For the Indian rope to the sky, there are many explanations, such as the rope is hollow, there are knots of steel ring and other support, the ground below the organs and so on. Similarly, there are also levitation in the streets of India, of course, are the result of a variety of supports or barricades.

Since it is magic, there must be organs, and there is no need to challenge the craft of people's meals, to reveal the tricks of those magic performers. But still, the laws of nature will not be violated, or else everyone who opens a flashlight can climb up along the column of light.

The fairy rope is currently the most controversial magic, the principle of the fairy rope are now not understood, there is a very bizarre version is that the performer will be an ordinary rope thrown into the air, so that people can not believe that the rope will be suspended straight in the air, next to no visible things to do to support, the rope is so straight hanging, to do the assistant of the child along the suspension of the rope up to climb, the child climbed to the height from the eyes of the people!

This magic already existed in ancient times, "Taiping Guangji" and "Swordsman biography" in the record of this magic rope skills, known as the Jiaxing rope skills, "Swordsman biography" in the "thirty-three swordsmen figure" third is the Jiaxing rope skills, which tells the story of the fairy rope, said the Tang Dynasty, Zhejiang Province, the Department of Jiaxing County Division and the superintendent of the program competition to see who's wonderful, the superintendent of the Department of this side of the program is not a good program who Knowing that a prisoner in the prison said he had a rope playing skills, the superintendent did not want to lose to the county division, so let the prisoner to participate instead, and finally the prisoner escaped through the fairy rope in full view of the public.

Now this rope skills in our country has long been lost, but it is said that there are people in India will be this rope skills, but in the British colonial period was looking for a reward for this kind of people, but no one to provide clues and no one to prove that they will be, but some scholars believe that this magic really exists, there are two kinds of claims on this magic to explain the two kinds of explanations of the **** the same point is that the magic inside the hidden people can not see things exist. The first one is that the magic is hidden inside the magic.

The first explanation is that this magic rope head is rolled open, hidden hooks inside, the performer performs this magic are in the dense trees, trees have a small color light silk rope to choose to perform in the dim light of the evening can be very well hidden silk rope on the ground to pull the rope up the children climb up just by the dim light hidden inside the leaves, not the legendary The first thing you need to do is to get rid of it.

Another explanation is to play magic people use drugs to hypnotize the audience, what drugs it is, in the view of some scholars is a kind of incense, lit after the smell will be hypnotized by the human brain nerves, so that the audience to produce a blurred illusion, the performer in the audience to produce a ring hallucination of the performance, of course, this argument in India is a lot of people think so, but at present, whether the Indian There will also be this performance is not good to say, the Indian people themselves have some people believe that there are some people believe that there is no, but at present there is indeed no a persuasive explanation of the principle of the fairy rope.

The fairy rope, more than a thousand years ago, is an acrobatic performance of the ancient jungle artists. This rope skills in the end what is peculiar, by the crowd as a god-like acrobatics? Let's take a look at the process of this mysterious acrobatic performance:

First of all, the old man threw a rope into the air, and although the rope was soft, it rose up to the sky and plunged straight into the sky. Then a little boy climbed up the fairy rope, and before long the boy had reached the head, and suddenly he disappeared without a trace, followed by the rope going limp.

This sounds a bit unbelievable, so many people think that the fairy rope is just a legend. However, from the traces of history, it can be concluded to determine that the fairy rope did exist. There are a number of ancient books that have been written about this.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was recorded in Taiping Guangji and Yuanhua Ji that when Li Longji held a banquet, a prisoner from Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, escaped by climbing up the rope to the clouds in the name of performance.

The Ming Dynasty "Yuan Jian class letter" has recorded "Jiaxing rope skills", this Jiaxing rope skills is similar to the fairy rope;

The Qing Dynasty painter Ren Weichang made the "thirty-three swordsmen picture" third is the rope skills - fairy rope;

Thus, it is clear that Li Longji held a banquet, there was a prisoner in Zhejiang Province to perform in the name of climbing up the rope to the clouds to escape. However, some people say that they have seen this kind of performance in India, however, during the British rule in India, it is out of the heavy reward solicitation, but there is no one enlisted.

The first explanation: "Miracles and Magic Mysteries" is recorded in this way:

The old man used a special kind of rope, the head of the rope has an iron hook, this iron hook is made up of countless downward iron hooks which are made up of numerous downward-facing iron hooks. Since the rope is rolled before the performance, the hooks cannot be seen hidden inside.

At the same time, the old man tied a very thin rope across the place of the performance in advance, one end of which was tied to a tree, and the other end was fixed to the wall at a height of about 7 meters.

The performers usually do this before sunset, so that the sun's rays can be used effectively to blur the view of onlookers who can't see the thin rope.

During the performance, the old man throws the thick rope upward, hooking it to the thin rope. Of course it takes a certain amount of skill to do this throw. Subsequently, the boy climbed up the thick rope, climbed to a certain height along the thin rope of the horizontal hitch to slide to the tree, so God disappeared without realizing it. After the boy disappeared, the old man shook the thick rope, detached from the horizontal thin rope and fell to the ground softly.

The second explanation, as performed in Kung Fu Yoga, is that if you are interested, you can go and see the demonstration.

This is a situation where the performer usually chooses a place in the sand or a dry well, in order to facilitate the underground hiding. So, what is the role of that bamboo basket? Don't underestimate it, it's the key to the trick - disguising the activity in the basement.

And in fact, this rope is not an ordinary rope, it is hollow, this thick rope is hidden inside two metal tubes or bamboo poles, one is to reach the highest place, the other is to reach the center.

When the performer puts the thick rope into the basket, the rope stands up with the music of flute and tambourine. The performer then picks up the little boy, who slowly climbs up along this rope, and the person who hides underground supports the rope with a metal pipe or bamboo pole, which he keeps lifting upwards. This little boy was like performing a pole dance.

After the end of the performance, the person hiding underground will be the longest metal pipe, the thick rope immediately above the soft down, then only the middle of the metal pipe support, and then the middle of the metal pipe is also down a pull, the rope immediately softly fall to the ground.

This masterpiece is the use of human thinking blind spot, the general tend to think of cheating from above, rather than below, so that it is easy for them to get through.

The third explanation, the performance of the venue is the same sand or dry well, the same hidden people underground, the principle of the second explanation is similar , but the rope inside the hidden material is different, hidden inside the knuckle of the steel ring, and the structure of the snake bone is similar, and the steel ring has two wires.

Snake bones have a very special structure, consisting of one section and one section, and are very soft. If the snake force, the bone will tighten, immediately become hard and stand up, that is, the use of this principle, people stand in the basement to pull, you can realize the rope stand up.

Summary: No matter which of the above principles, it is quite difficult. Want to master the essentials of the fairy rope, that must have real skill, the general public is difficult to comprehend. Therefore, this masterpiece is lost.

The Divine Fairy Rope, is the most mysterious but also the most controversial kind of magic in the history of magic. It is roughly like this:

The performer throws an ordinary rope high into the sky, and then the rope will fly to the sky as if it has been enchanted, up to the clouds, and we can even go up to the heavenly palace through the heavenly rope and see the immortals. Of course, we all know that the description is exaggerated, there is no such thing as a heavenly palace or a fairy. And now about the fairy rope is related to India, a look at this open country I think we all know how it is.

However, nothing is empty, now although it sounds like this magic is incredible and has been lost, the description of the fairy rope exist in the history books, but in fact, there is a possibility that history of this kind of magic, just not so exaggerated:

Estimated that the real The real magic of the fairy rope is just to throw the rope into the sky, the rope will rise up some distance into the sky, and then float in the air. This is the kind of magic that could be true and realizable. It is basically impossible to fly the rope directly to the clouds as described above, and no one's rope is that long. And just let the rope rise a certain height, through a special device can still be realized. For example, the rope inside a special lift thin wire can be realized, like the kind of floating faucet online.

Here I say a kind of my own deduction, planing out the wire / steel pipe said, planing out the snake bone said, planing out the illusion, there is a possibility that the creature said, we think of the caster is the use of a flute or other musical instruments, and then the rope is slowly upward, want to think of a kind of recombination of creatures, that is, after hearing the flute's command in accordance with a certain combination of arrangements, such as Ants building a ladder. We have also seen the TV Divine Eagle couple in the little dragon lady command bees and so on.

So I think all the impossibilities left is a possibility, is the caster can control a certain kind of creatures, and then through training to be able to attach to the inner wall of the rope, according to the sound of the caster's flute is arranged into the corresponding combination, called up the rope, however, what is the creature, how to move and arrange the speed of the do not know.

It is important to know that there are too many unknown things within nature, such as Miaojiang compulsion, Xiangxi zombie catching, and so on. So one has to have a reverence for nature.

What exactly is the "Immortal Cord"?

"Shenxianzuo" was called the "rope to the sky" in ancient China, which refers to a rope that can be erected vertically from the ground to the sky, so that people on the ground can reach the sky by climbing this rope.

The magic of the "rope of the immortals" appears not only in ancient Chinese texts, but also in the historical records of India and other countries. It is said that only one country, India, still has a very small number of people performing this ancient magic, while other countries have long been lost.

1. "Immortal rope" is illusion or magic?

Whether the "fairy rope" ancient magic, skeptics put forward another argument that the "fairy rope" is not considered magic, should be categorized as illusion. The basis is that, in the performance of the "fairy rope", the performer is actually on the scene of the audience to implement the hypnosis, so that the audience in a half-dream half-awake state, the rope in fact did not move, but the audience's subconscious mind is controlled by the performer, in the mind of the formation of the rope up to the clouds of the hallucination.

This illusion carries a certain degree of danger, mainly performers for the use of hypnosis is not good to master, shallow hypnosis and can not achieve the purpose, excessive hypnosis and life-threatening.

2. Who invented the "fairy rope"?

The magic "fairy rope", also known as "rope skills" or "through the sky rope" in ancient China. The earliest in the Tang Dynasty, "the source of the book" in the "rope technology", and the Ming Dynasty, "the abundance of Jian class culmination" and "Liaozhai Zhiyi" has also appeared. These books have a **** the same point, is the same belong to the story, myth, at least the source and source are not recorded.

The Indian "fairy rope" is said to have originated in China, as to who is by when it was introduced to India? It is also a muddled account, no one can say a rough. As for Mexico in South America, although there are sporadic historical records, its content is roughly equivalent to the Chinese, are stories of a kind.

3. If it's magic, why is it still unsolved?

Magic is a kind of performance that violates objective laws. According to records, magic was practiced in China during the Zhou Dynasty. The development of magic has been thousands of years of history, has not been purely blindfolded or skillful techniques and other simple tricks, a lot of the use of sound, optical principles and other complex magic can be cracked, why can not crack the "fairy rope" this ancient magic?

There is a saying that the performer and all the audience collusion together, the other end of the rope has an iron hook, the rope will be secretly hung up to the pre-prepared up on the wire, *** with the concoction of a paradoxical, violation of the laws of physics, "Immortal rope" myth.

In China, the account of "rope skills" is even quite scary, saying that the performer threw a rope into the air, climbed up the rope to the Palace of Heaven, and stole the Queen Mother's peaches, and then was discovered, his limbs were chopped off, and he was thrown down from the clouds. The man then walked away as if nothing had happened, with his limbs pieced together and intact.

"Immortal rope" how the truth no one can say clearly. However, it is believed that this kind of near-mythical things, there will always be cracked the day.

If you really want to use science to explain the "fairy rope", there is only one answer: false.

A variety of legends and literature, and even movies and TV shows on the "fairy rope" this kind of magic with the record: the spell casters oral incantation or with the so-called "magic weapon" catalyzed, and then the rope on the ground will be drilling the sky and up, and straight into the clouds. After that, the caster will climb up the rope, which is called "ascension", and according to different versions of the story, different plots and stories will happen. A rope drilling up into the sky and going straight into the clouds, how big of a game does it need to be to achieve such a level! Even ordinary magicians are afraid that they can't do it. From the ground to the clouds, it's as little as a few hundred meters, or as much as a thousand meters. Not to mention a rope, it is also very difficult to set up a pole (as long as a little wind blowing or shaking above, the whole pole will shake violently or even break).

Drilling up into the sky and straight into the sky rope is impossible, but India and other regions there is a simplified version of the fairy rope: this rope can only stand up about two meters high. This is a much simpler way of handling the rope. The mystery of which only the operator himself knows, otherwise, would not we all play the fairy rope?

The fairy rope is a very controversial magic, although some people have proposed some explanations, but not widely recognized; in ancient China, there are records of a similar technology, called "rope technology".

On the magic of the fairy rope, the Indian rope is most famous, there are many versions of the rope, a large part of the rope with a legendary color, such as the rope end deep into the clouds, such a legend is obviously unrealistic.

A more reliable version, there are also video records: an Indian magician to prepare a rope 3 to 4 meters long, the rope is about 50 100mm thick, and then put the rope into a basket, in the magician's flute, the rope gradually rose to a vertical height of 3 4 meters at one end, and can also withstand the weight of a child.

This magic is very interesting, although we know that it is a blindfold, but we just can not see the obvious flaws; magic itself is like this, not before the mystery of the mystery, and once the mystery of the mystery, but also feel that the blindfold is too simple, lost the mystery.

In the movie "Rain of Swords", there is a clip that describes the illusionary speed of a divine rope like this, which is nothing more than fiction.

About this statement, there are some reasons, for example, the following three details are very consistent with this interpretation:

(1) the magic of the rope to the sky, will be placed under the bottom of the basket, which is the props of the blindfold method;

(2) the magic of the rope, are very thick, the outer layer of the network is very dense, if the rope is solid, at the beginning of the magic when the magician If the rope is solid, at the beginning of the magic, the magician will not be so easy to carry the rope, so you can be sure that the rope is hollow, which is just used to place the support;

(3) After the magic, the action of the rope, is from the top to the bottom of the soft down, but also very much in line with the interpretation of the internal support;

India, through the rope of the magic, the magician himself only passes on to his descendants, so the true principle of the outsiders can not be known. These interesting blindfolds in India, it is true that it is easy to confuse people, but definitely not as mysterious as the legend.
