Fairy rope, known as Tian Tong rope in India, is a kind of magic with a long history.
There are many folk records about this magic in China:
An old man with a child, the old man jokingly said to his son, is the queen mother having a flat peach party in the sky at the moment?
The child replied, "if only I could go to heaven for a meeting, but it's a pity that the sky is so high!" " "
The old man said to the child, "Don't worry, we have fairy ropes!" " "
At this time, the old man and the children were surrounded by many people, all with black question marks. The old man picked up the rope already prepared from the ground, mumbled a spell in his mouth, and the letter hand threw the rope into the sky. The rope will climb higher and higher like a living vine.
Seeing that the rope had climbed high enough, the old man asked the child to climb along the rope. Soon, in the dazzling sunshine, the child has climbed out of sight.
After a while, I saw the rope shake and some peaches fell from the sky. Everyone cheered and marveled.
Suddenly, the rope shook again, and the old man shouted, "No, the fairy cut the rope!" " "
When everyone looked up again, they saw several things falling from the sky, but the child didn't come down. When the falling body fell to the ground, everyone looked intently again and retreated in fear. It was clearly the child's limbs that fell.
The old man burst into tears and complained that his grandson should not be allowed to go up. When people saw that the old man was poor, they gave him money to reward him.
The old man took the money and put the child's limbs in the box. Soon, something magical happened. Just now, the child came out of the basket again. ...
It is said that this magic has been lost, but some netizens said that they have seen it with their own eyes.
In India, this kind of magic still exists, although it is not as magical as the above story, but it is also puzzling.
The magician will put a thick rope in the basket, and there is nothing in the basket except the rope. At this time, the magician played the flute and saw the rope stand up like a snake and slowly stand upright.
The magician asked the children around him to climb up, but the rope was still stable.
There are many speculations about the authenticity of magic. There must be something wrong with the thick rope. There may be a strong steel ring, similar to the skeleton structure of a snake. Some people think that after the rope is lifted, the rope in the basket has not decreased, so there may be someone lurking under the selected place, and there is no good explanation.
What is a fairy rope? In our eyes, the Indian fairy rope is actually the fairy rope magic that is popular all over the world. Moreover, this kind of magic is not an Indian patent, and it was also recorded in ancient China. "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio" describes that once a warlock took his apprentice to the mountain to perform the spell of "stealing peaches".
A means of transportation from the earth to heaven is something called an "immortal rope". The so-called "fairy rope" is the rope that the warlock carries with him. After the magician cast the spell, the rope slowly rose vertically and slowly rose to the sky. After reaching a certain height, he asked his disciples to climb up the rope, which is very similar to the situation in the video of Indian Tian Tong rope circulating on the Internet.
It's just that this magic trick was lost in China, but it's still being performed in India. And this is also a magic that only spreads inside and not outside. Knowing the principle of this magic is the performer of the magic. Once someone knows the reason, the magician will lose his job.
The decryption of magic must start with the rope used by the performer. Friends who have watched the video of rope magic show in Tian Tong, India, will find that the rope used by the performers is particularly thick, rather than a rope, it is a "cylinder" spliced by a thin layer of linen.
According to the online video, this hollow hemp rope is about 5 cm in diameter. Because adults can just hold this hemp rope, while children can only hold half of it. It seems that the child is not climbing a soft rope at all, but more like climbing a vertical stick.
Because this rope does not feel any swing when climbing, no matter how the child climbs the rope, the rope will not bend, but will only swing as a whole, so it feels more like climbing slowly along the stake.
Therefore, some scholars speculate that the hemp rope used is just a cover-up, which makes the hemp rope cover up what is really rising. At the beginning of the performance, the magician always tells others that it is just a rope. Through constant brainwashing, let the audience believe that it is a rising rope, and no one will think that it is a hollow rope.
The "mystery" of the fairy rope-the two principles supporting speculation are just a controversial question in the secret world, that is, in what way and in what way will the rope be propped up? Today, two items are highly recognized.
-One is a "straight pole that goes out of the ground". The performer digs a hidden hole under the bamboo basket in advance, and then puts the straight pole into the rope through the hidden hole during the magic performance; There is also a view that this is similar to the existing fishing rod with spring buckle. Friends who have studied engineering know that there is an instrument called level in field measurement, and the ruler with level is commonly called telescopic tower ruler. A circular telescopic tower ruler is installed in the hemp rope.
Explain the first principle first.
Because when performing magic, you don't just find a venue. Generally speaking, you find a good place in advance. During the performance, a pit will be dug in the ground in advance, and a person and several support rods can be put in the pit.
During the magician's performance, we felt that the magician casually put the basket on the ground, but in fact the basket was facing the bottom of the hole in front. The bamboo basket with rope seems to be integrated with the bottom of the basket. In fact, the bottom of the basket can be taken down like a mortise and tenon structure.
When the player puts on the basket and starts to play the flute, people who hide in the hole in advance will secretly steal things from the bottom of the shelf.
The cooperators hiding under the hole will slowly send the rope with the support rod up in advance. Because the support rods inside are pieced together, there will be a sense of pause when pumping.
The performers hiding underground adjust their rising speed to the beat of the music. When the music stops, the people below will stop the rope from rising. When the rope is getting fast, the performer will find a child to climb up along the rope.
Some careful viewers will notice a detail. When the child is ready to climb the rope, the performer does not let the child step on the basket directly, but holds the child directly on the rope.
If there is nothing fishy about this box, children can completely step on the basket and don't need adults to carry it, so this basket is part of the smoke screen.
Because the child's weight is not very big, it will not cause the upper center of gravity of the rope to deviate too much when the child climbs the rope, so it is easy to be caught by people hiding below. If an adult man or a chubby child is asked to climb the rope, the person hiding in the hole may not be able to catch it.
The application principle of the second item is relatively simple.
In fact, a telescopic rod fixed at the bottom has been buried under the frame, and a spring mechanism has been installed at the top of the telescopic rod. According to several existing videos, we can notice a detail. Before playing the flute to "revive" the rope, the player will touch it in the frame several times and then start playing the flute slowly.
In the process of playing the flute, phonons begin to rise slowly. Therefore, the player may start the organ before playing the flute. There is some kind of spring delay mechanism in the telescopic rod, which is similar to the winding of small toys now.
After starting, the mechanisms began to loosen one by one, so that the telescopic rod was slowly lifted by using the accumulated strength before. Because the energy stored in clockwork or prestressed spring is limited.
So this kind of rope can't rise after rising for a period of time.
The second guess, which is also a more recognized and convincing guess, is probably more recognized now, because the magician rubbed it somewhere when he collected the rope, and then the rope began to drop sharply, and the length of each drop was similar to the depth of the frame.
An important feature of telescopic rods is that they become thinner and thinner.
When the child climbs this rope, he will obviously find that he is holding the rope below and has obvious satiety. The more he climbs the rope, the more empty he is.
However, due to its relatively difficult technical structure, no magician can completely imitate the magic of the rope.
However, because the existing Indian performers have not revealed the magic, they still retain their mystery.
Although many magicians at home and abroad have successfully imitated this Indian rope, most of them use modern equipment to imitate magic, and no one can do it without the current technology.
So the principle of this magic is just some reasonable guesses made by outsiders. But what is worthy of recognition is that at present, the rope can slowly rise, and there must be fillers constantly stuffed inside.
But as for what filler to use or how to plug it, no one has yet fully figured it out.
Immortal rope is a kind of magic with a long history, which has been recorded in many Ming and Qing novels such as Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, and is called "rope art".
It is said that during the performance, the rope will ignore Newton's coffin board and go straight to the sky. This is a kind of magic or illusion, of course, it can't violate the natural laws such as gravity of the earth.
The novel Stealing Peach from a Lonely Studio describes that performers, that is, street performers, can throw ropes into the air, and the ropes will rise higher and higher, while children can climb the ropes and steal peaches from the sky. The child finally disappeared in the clouds, and finally the rope broke and the child's stump fell off.
The people watching the performance were scared to give money, and then the children came out of the wooden box with a smile and bowed to everyone. Pu Songling also wrote that this young and old artist, a descendant of Anbaili School, caused hallucinations or hypnosis for everyone and made money by shooting a gun for a place.
Nowadays, it is said that the art of divine clues has been lost, but in India, an open country next door, there is a similar magic called Tian Tong rope.
Of course, the performance in India can also erect a seemingly soft rope, and children can climb it, omitting a serial story of stealing peaches.
There are many explanations for the Indian Tian Tong rope. For example, the rope is hollow, supported by knotted steel rings, and there are organs on the ground below. Similarly, there is street suspension in India, which is of course the result of all kinds of support or cover-up.
Since it is magic, there must be a mechanism, and there is no need to challenge others' cooking skills and expose those magicians' tricks. But the laws of nature will not be violated, otherwise everyone can turn on the flashlight and climb up along the beam.
Fairy rope is the most controversial magic at present. The principle of fairy rope is still not understood. There is a very bizarre version in which the performer throws an ordinary rope into the air. Incredibly, the rope will hang straight in the air without any visible support. The rope just hung straight. As an assistant, the child climbed up along the hanging rope, and the child climbed to a height that everyone could not see. The bottom of the performer was hacked and the incredible thing happened again. The child's trunk was broken and fell, with a lot of blood next to it. Then the caster said a spell and the child returned to its original state.
This magic has existed since ancient times. There are records of this magic rope skill in Tai Ping Guang Ji and the legendary swordsman, which is called Jiaxing rope skill. The third picture of the thirty-three swordsmen in the Legend of the Swordsman is Jiaxing rope skill, which tells the story of a fairy rope. It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, there was a program competition with the producer in Jiaxing County, Zhejiang Province to see who was wonderful. The supervisor has no good plan here.
Today, this rope skill has long been lost in China, but it is said that there are still people in India who know this rope skill. But during the British colonial period, there were rewards for finding such people, but no one provided clues and no one proved that they could. However, some scholars believe that this magic does exist, and there are two explanations for this magic. The similarity between the two explanations is that magic hides what people can't see.
The first explanation is that the end of this magic rope turns upside down and blooms, and there is a hook hidden inside. The performer performed the magic under the dense tree. There are tiny light-colored silk ropes on the tree, which can be used to hide them and pull them up on the ground. Children climb up only by hiding in dimly lit leaves, not by the legendary dismemberment.
Another explanation is that the magician hypnotizes the audience with drugs. What kind of drug is it? In the eyes of some scholars, the lit smell will hypnotize people's brains and nerves and make the audience have vague hallucinations. Of course, many people in India think so, but it is hard to say whether there are still people in India who will perform this kind of performance at present. Some Indians believe it themselves, others don't, but there is really no one at present.
First, the fairy rope is an ancient acrobatic, and it is also the most difficult acrobatic fairy rope in history. It has a history of 1000 years, and is an acrobatic performed by ancient Jianghu artists. What's strange about this acrobatic rope technique that is regarded as a god by everyone? Let's take a look at this mysterious acrobatic performance:
First, the old man threw a rope into the air. Although the rope was soft, it rose to the sky and went straight into the sky. Then a little boy climbed up along the fairy rope. In a short time, the little boy had climbed onto his head, suddenly disappeared without a trace, and then the rope collapsed.
This sounds a bit strange, so many people think that the fairy rope is just a legend. But judging from the historical clues, it can be concluded that the fairy rope does exist. Some ancient books recorded stories about fairy tales.
It is recorded in Taiping Guangji and Yuan Hua Ji in the Northern Song Dynasty that a prisoner in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province climbed a rope to the clouds and fled in the name of performance when Li Longji gave a banquet.
There is a record of "Jiaxing rope skill" in Lei Xin of Ming Dynasty, which is similar to the fairy rope.
The third painting of Thirty three musketeers by Ren Weichang, a painter in Qing Dynasty, is the rope technique-immortal rope;
Visible fairy rope is real, but this acrobatic is too difficult, and it is only passed on from male to female, and it pays special attention to talent, so it was later lost in China. However, some people say that they have seen such performances in India. However, during the British rule in India, they asked for a big reward, but no one applied.
2. At present, there are three explanations about the operation principle of the fairy rope: the first explanation: it is recorded in Exploring Miracles and Magic:
The old man used a special kind of rope. There was an iron hook at the end of the rope, which was composed of countless downward iron hooks. Because the rope was coiled before the performance, there was no iron hook hidden in it.
At the same time, the old man tied a string at the performance site in advance, with one end tied to the tree and the other end fixed to the wall, about 7 meters high.
Performers usually perform before sunset, which can effectively use the sun's irradiation and blur the line of sight of onlookers, so that they can't see the rope tied horizontally.
During the performance, the old man threw the thick rope up and hooked the thin rope. Of course, it takes some skill to do this. Then, the little boy climbed up the thick rope, climbed to a certain height, slid down the thin rope tied horizontally to the tree, and disappeared unnoticed. After the little boy disappeared, the old man shook the thick rope, broke free from the horizontal thin rope and fell limply to the ground.
The second explanation, like the performance in Kung Fu Yoga, can be seen by interested friends.
In this case, performers usually choose sand or dry wells for the convenience of underground Tibetans. So, what does that bamboo basket do? Don't underestimate it, it is the key to this unique skill-covering up the activities in the basement.
In fact, this rope is not an ordinary rope, but hollow. There are two metal pipes or bamboo poles hidden in this thick rope, one extending to the top and the other to the middle.
When the performer put the thick rope into the basket, the rope stood up to the music of flute and tambourine. The performer picked up the little boy, who climbed up slowly along the rope. People hiding underground will support the rope with metal pipes or bamboo poles and keep lifting them up. The little boy likes to perform pole dancing.
After the performance, the people hiding underground pulled out the longest metal pipe, and the top of the thick rope immediately became soft. At this time, only the metal tube in the middle was supported, and then the metal tube in the middle was pulled down, and the rope immediately fell limply to the ground.
This trick is to use the blind spot of human thinking. Most people often think of cheating from above, not from below, so that they can pass easily.
The third explanation is that the performance venue is also sand or dry wells, and people are hiding underground. The principle is similar to the second explanation, but the material hidden in the rope is different. There is a steel ring with joints hidden inside, which is similar to the structure of snake bones. The steel ring has two iron wires.
The structure of snake bone is very special, which is composed of segments and very soft. If the snake pulls hard, the bone will tighten, harden immediately and stand up, that is, using this principle, people can stand up and pull the rope in the basement.
Conclusion: No matter which principle above, it is quite difficult. If you want to master the essentials of the immortal rope, you must have real skills, which is difficult for ordinary people to understand. Therefore, this unique skill has been lost.
Fairy rope is the most mysterious but controversial magic in the history of magic. Here's the thing:
The performer throws an ordinary rope into the sky, and then the rope will fly to the sky as if it were enchanted, until it reaches the clouds. We can even go to the Heavenly Palace through the rope to meet the immortals. Of course, as soon as you listen to the description, you will know that this must be an exaggeration. There are no heavenly gods. Moreover, now all fairy tales are related to India. I think when I look at this open country, everyone knows what happened.
However, nothing is groundless. Now, although this magic sounds incredible and has been lost, there are descriptions of fairy ropes in history books, in fact, it is really possible to have such magic in history, but it is not so exaggerated:
It is estimated that the real magic of fairy rope is just to throw the rope into the sky, and the rope will rise to the sky for a certain distance and then float in the air. Only this kind of magic can be true and realized. It is almost impossible to tie a fairy rope and fly directly to the clouds as described above, and the rope is not that long. Only by lifting the rope to a certain height can it be realized by special devices. For example, it can be achieved by putting a special lifting wire inside the rope, just like a floating faucet on the internet.
Let me talk about my own inference here, that is, remove the steel wire/steel pipe, remove the snake bone, and remove the illusion. Is it possible that it is a biological theory? Let's think about the flute or other musical instrument used by the player, and then the rope rises slowly. Do you want a biological reorganization, that is, after hearing the command of the flute, according to a certain arrangement and combination, such as ants building ladders. We have also seen the little dragon girl directing bees in TV "The Condor Heroes".
So I want to get rid of all the impossibilities, leaving one possibility, that is, the performer can control a creature, and then attach it to the inner wall of the rope through training, arrange it into corresponding combinations according to the flute sound of the performer, and weigh the rope. However, we don't know what this creature is and how fast it moves and arranges.
You should know that there are too many unknown things in nature, such as magic in scenic spots, corpse driving in western Hunan and so on. Therefore, people should have awe of nature.
Thank you for inviting Wukong.
What exactly is a "fairy rope"? "Fairy rope" was called "Tian Tong rope" in ancient China, which means that a rope can be erected vertically from the ground to the sky, and people on the ground can climb this rope to reach the sky.
The magic of "fairy rope" not only appears in China's ancient books, but also appears in Indian and other countries' historical records. As for the ancient magic of "fairy rope", it is said that only a few people in India perform it, and other countries have long since lost it.
Several mysteries of "immortal lock" have not been solved so far. 1. Is "Immortal Lock" magic or magic?
As for whether the "fairy rope" is ancient magic, the skeptics put forward another view that the "fairy rope" is not magic and should be classified as illusion. It is based on the fact that when performing "The Immortal Rope", the performer actually performed a way to disrupt the sleep of the audience, leaving the audience in a state of half dream and half awake. The rope didn't actually move, but the audience's subconscious was controlled by the performer, which formed the illusion that the rope was erected into the sky in their minds.
This illusion is dangerous to some extent, mainly because the performer is not good at using hypnosis, shallow hypnosis can not achieve the goal, and excessive hypnosis is life-threatening.
2. Who invented the "fairy rope"?
In ancient China, the "immortal rope" with extraordinary skills was also called "rope skill" or "heavenly rope". Rope technique was first seen in Yuan Hua Collection in the Tang Dynasty. And Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio also appeared in the Ming Dynasty. This kind of books have one thing in common, that is, they belong to the category of stories and myths, at least the source and provenance are not recorded.
India's "fairy rope" is said to have originated in China, but who and when was it introduced to India? It's also a muddled account, and no one can say anything about it. As for Mexico in South America, although there are sporadic historical records, its content is roughly the same as that of China, and they are all stories.
3. Since it is magic, why can't it be cracked so far?
Magic is a performance that violates objective laws. According to records, there was a magic show in China in the Zhou Dynasty. Magic has developed for thousands of years. It is no longer a simple trick such as a cover-up, clever surgery and so on. Can crack many complicated magic tricks such as sound and optics. Why can't you crack the ancient magic of "fairy rope"?
The most incredible thing about "Fairy Rope" is that the performers collude with all the audience, and there is an iron hook at the other end of the rope, which secretly hangs the rope on the wire prepared in advance, * * * concocts a myth of "Fairy Rope" that goes against common sense and physical laws.
In China, the description of "rope art" is even horrible, saying that the performer threw a rope into the air, climbed down the rope and stole the flat peach of the Queen Mother, and was later found to have his limbs cut off and thrown from the clouds. Then, as if nothing had happened, the man completely spliced his limbs and left.
No one can tell the truth about the "fairy rope". However, I believe that this almost mythical thing will be cracked one day.
If you really want to use science to explain the "fairy rope", there is only one answer: false.
All kinds of legends, stories, literary works and even film and television dramas have recorded the magic of the "fairy rope": the performer reads a spell or urges it with so-called "instruments", and then the rope on the ground will climb to the sky and go straight into the sky. After that, the performer will climb up the rope, which is euphemistically called "Ascension to Heaven". According to different story versions, different plots will happen. (If you still don't understand, you can refer to the martial arts of the colorful dramatist (Lian Sheng) in the movie "Sword Rain")
From here, you can think about why this description only exists in literary works or film and television dramas, because it is impossible to repeat this operation in reality. A rope goes straight into the sky. How many games will it take to reach this level! Even ordinary magicians may not be able to do it. From the ground to the clouds, from hundreds of meters to thousands of meters. Not to mention that it is very difficult to erect a rope, even a pole (as long as there is a little wind blowing or shaking on it, the whole pole will shake or even break).
It is impossible to drill a rope into the sky and go straight to the sky, but there is still a simplified version of the fairy rope circulating in India and other regions: this rope can only stand about two meters high. This kind of fairy rope is much easier to operate. Only the operators know the mystery, otherwise all of us can play fairy tales?
Fairy rope is a controversial magic. Although some people have put forward some explanations, it has not been widely recognized. China recorded a similar technique in ancient times, which was called "rope technique".
Regarding the magic of fairy rope, Indian Tian Tong rope is the most famous. There are many versions of Tian Tong rope, a large part of which is legendary. For example, the legend that one end of the rope goes deep into the clouds is obviously unrealistic.
A more reliable version, there is also a video recording: an Indian magician prepared a rope with a length of 3-4 meters and a rope thickness of about 50 100mm, and then put the rope in a laundry basket. In the magician's flute, one end of the rope gradually rises to a vertical height of 3.4 meters, which can also bear the weight of a child.
This trick is very interesting. Although we know this is a cover-up, we just can't see the obvious flaw. Magic itself is like this. It felt mysterious before it was revealed. Once exposed, it will feel that the cover-up method is too simple and loses its mystery.
In the movie "Sword Rain", there is a passage describing the magical speed of the fairy rope, which is just fiction.
The most widely spread and most likely way about India's rope is that the magician dug a deep pit under the laundry list in advance, in which a person used a bracket to support the rope that rose vertically.
There is some truth in this statement. For example, the following three details fit this explanation very well:
(1) In the Heavenly Rope Magic, there will be a laundry list below, which is a prop for blindfolding;
(2) The ropes in magic are thick, and the outer layer is densely woven. If the rope is solid, the magician will not be able to hold the rope so easily when he starts to cast magic, so it is certain that the rope is hollow and only used for placing supports;
(3) After the magic, the rope-pulling action is softened from top to bottom, which is also very consistent with the explanation of internal support;
The magic of the Indian heavenly rope was only passed on to his descendants by the magician himself, so the real principle is unknown to outsiders. These interesting tricks in India are really confusing, but they are definitely not as mysterious as the legend.
