Never hear of that rope. Where can you find Neal Preta's Super Rope?

Th best rope of late should be diamond braided, cotton over cotton. As white as possible.
-------------
I like Baronian bct-10 but it is not as white as some.
----------
I sell Baronian and Loftus rope. I just saw uday cottonrope, very white very soft and cuts nice. Especially for the price.
--------------------
I am curious what Neal Prete's rope is and if he is just buying a standard rope or is importing it.

Neal contacted me several months ago, I called him and emailed him back, but we never had a transaction. He said he would call me but never did. Don't really know what he sells but he was curious about my ropes.

Just got samples from Preta, it is very bright rope and several colors. It is not cotton though, it is braided synthetic with a core. Very stiff by comparison to cotton ropes. He send the "cord" in colors and it is just under 1/4". Cuts easy, but frays unless you melt it.
In my estimation it is not even close to magic grade cotton. The core is multi strands and removal does make the rope more supple.
The "super" rope is just about 1/2" but slightly larger and whiter than baronian bct-10, but just as white as the Loftus rope I carry (www.rope.ws). Removing the core from that does not make a difference, it is just not soft enough for rope work. Sorry Neal.
The cored piece of the 1/4" was good for Sands and Tabary effects, but for fiber optics the smaller piece was too stiff for the moves.

I have always stated that super rope was a nylon like rope.
I Love the way it glides through my hands for various st
retching rope effects, and traveling knots
It is extremely bright and visible, and stays clean after repeated handlings
For my needs it is the rope I like choose to use.
price wise it is cost effective as well.
We all discover what we like best, and when we do we stick with it.

Al, I had neal send me a sample of his ropes. It just doesn't work for most of my routines. Much too stiff. Have you used the baronian or loftus rope?

Most magic shops sell 7/32" cotton rope for cut and restore, but I use Neal's 1/4" cotton rope for my cut and restore. It is what old time magic shops used to sell, but Neal is the only one who still sells it. I really don't know anything about Neil's super rope.

Oddly enough (as Ian mentioned above) I have found that I enjoy using Uday rope too, when I am not using Loftus. The Uday handles quite nicely, looks good from stage (at least that has been my experience thus far) and works very well in all of the routines I do. It really is nice for the price.

Dany,
I just checked your site; 3 to 5 months till you have the BTC3 rope? I was hoping that just hasn’t been updated lately. Wow - how did you let yourself run out of that?!
Thank you.

Hi Jim,
Somehow it just became the most popular rope! I will update you once they are restocked. I have some 25ft packets of them if they will hold you up for a little bit, let me know.

Dany,
No thanks - I'd rather wait for the larger balls to become available. Got me some Loftus rope and a bit of Uday in the meantime.
Thanks!

Try "Abbott's Encyclopedia of Rope Tricks for Magicians" by Stewart James. I found one used on Amazon for a pittance.

Which rope in this thread? A few different ropes are mentioned. And what rope is used in "the slashed effect"?

Scott Alexander's effect uses a very thick soft rope. I do not believe any standard magicians rope will be the same, is it would Scott would be marketing his effect. That is his holdup, trying to obtain the rope he uses.
Of course in the end, rope is rope and if you are not a perfectionist, then most any pliable soft rope will work. Scott is choosing his rope for many other reasons then just thick and soft, visibility, handling, etc.

Hello all,
It's been a while since I've posted. As most of you know, I've been out of rope for several months. I wanted to let you know that the ropes are on their way and should be arriving to the Port of Los Angeles on/around Oct 9.

I use.... whatever my local magic shop has XD, it's a little more expencive than I would like to pay for it, but my only other options is driving for hours to get it for 10 cents cheaper (although in comparison I've found that the rope my magic shop is better than the cheaper rope at the other one). I think when I get the money I'm gonna try some of this baronian rope, it's quite a bit cheeper than I can get it for anywhere I know of arround me, if it's as great as people make it out to be it will be impossible to be dissapointed
