This effect was the original method from my lecture. Dances with ropes came about because some people wanted
to do the effect in the middle of a show rather than as an opener. I include this as a guideline. It is a method to do "half"
of professors nightmare. You actually wind up with three actual long ropes. AND this is ungimmicked.

The Original dance method was a challenge by members of the magic cafe. I had shown the lecture material
called Professor Ian's nightmare where you hand out the ropes once they are long. The request was for a mthod to do that similar
effect anytime during the act rather than just be an opener.

Creating dances was an evolutionary process. The prelude to the linking ropes has 3 professors nightmares
methods that could lead into it. In actuality you could do all three.
