Rope trick

A well-known magic trick has a surprise ending.

LOWMEDHIGH

In a busy city, a father and son dressed in rustic clothes, gather a crowd to perform a magic illusion - the Rope Trick. The father flings the rope into the sky, it stands erect, the boy climbs it and disappears. In a typical illusion the magician would call the disobedient boy to come down and then himself climb the rope with a sword. Body parts of the boy would fall to the ground. The magician would then climb down, cover the body parts with a cloth and the boy would appear from under it. Except this time the boy does not return.
