Here's an illusion with a piece of string and a pair of scissors. It appears as
if I just cut the string. The illusion is so convincing that you can even hold the
string.
Here's an even better illusion, it's called the fusion illusion because the two
pieces appear to be transformed back into one string. But don't worry; it's
only an illusion.

Hold the string so that the glued join is at the bottom and the twisted fake
ends are at the top. The connection is held between the index finger and
thumb.
Take the scissors and cut through the glued join. Place the scissors down
and hand one strand to the spectator. Cover the fake ends with your right
hand. Run your left hand down the string and grip it and pull. Make a
kneading motion with your right hand, then remove it to show the
restoration.

This is a wonderful illusion in the truest sense of the word. The string is never what it appears to be until the finish.
Insert your left middle finger to keep the loop of string open.
Once again involve the spectator.
The left hand moves down the left strand about five or six inches, grips the string and continues to pull. This action causes all of the strands to coalesce, transforming the two fake ends back to one string.

Take a 4 foot piece of multi-strand string or twine. Apply a small amount of
rubber cement to each end and let them dry for 10 minutes. After they dry,
touch the two ends together and roll them between your fingers. This
forms a solid loop of string.
Unravel the strands opposite the glued join and twist them so they appear
