The Rise of the Indian Rope Trick - The biography of a legend by Peter Lamont
A man throws a rope into the air which rises until completely vertical then a boy climbs to the top and disappears. Conjuring trick, magic or complete hokum? There were certainly vast numbers who believed in its authenticity and many who claimed to have witnessed it. If you've a few hours to while away, read this book to discover not only the truth but that people prefer to believe what they want to believe.
