This is a macabre story that I still remember from several years ago, which, as I ponder on it, could be used for a magic rope trick, or, more specifically, strings.
As I vaguely recall the story, it was about a girl whose strands of hair spurt out blood whenever she cuts it. I don't recall whether she felt pain or not. But I recall that whenever the hair is cut, it could be healed by cauterization. Once the individual strands are cauterized, the bleeding stops. In addition to that macabre abnormality, the story also included the question as to whether the phenomenon is supernatural or a mutation. Macabre as it is, that idea could be applied to a trick of CUT AND RESTORED STRING. To those of you who might fly off the handle and regard me as gruesome, let me refer you to the famous illusionist, Richardini. He is notorious for adding blood and gore to his act of Sawing A Lady In Half. Dressed in a white laboratory smock, Richardini proceeds to saw a lady in two, during which blood graphically spurts out. The blood is made even more graphic when it splatters on his smock because there is a striking contrast between the blood's redness and the smock's white. So why not Blood-spurting Hair? |

I should have added that the trick would call for a lady-assistant who wears a WIG of strings. After the cutting and the blood-spurting, the act would proceed as a restoration trick.
