“Paul Harris has created some of the greatest magic we’ll ever see. Linking Laces is no exception! After you learn this completely impromptu miracle, you’ll be performing this trick all the time. Nick Locapo does a great job of teaching this, and you’ll be able to practice along with him. It’s time to arm yourself with a trick that you can perform anytime, anywhere!” – Jesse Feinberg

Linking Laces is one of the greatest impromptu effects in all of magic. This simple effect takes the classic solid through solid effect and allows you to leave your spectator with proof of a miracle.

Here’s what happens:

With no gimmicks, the magician gently massages the loops of a spectator’s shoelaces and they visually link together. The laces must be untied to come apart. The spectator’s shoes are re-tied and the laces link again, this time in their hands. You can then leave the spectator with their shoelaces linked together ending completely clean. This stunning effect allows you to create an impossible object with something that belongs to the spectator. It’s that strong.
