Doing It The Hard Way

Magicians generally like to make things look easy, even though what they're doing is not. This manoevre appears complicated, but ends in the desired result. A ring threaded on a rope is stretched between both hands. The rope ends and the ring are brought together in one hand, while the other hand takes the centre of the rope. The rope ends are now slowly pulled and the ring gracefully travels up the rope to the waiting hand. The ring is then taken and plucked from the rope. Both items are unprepared and can be inspected. Why not simply separate the ring and rope instead of this showiness? Why bother? It tells the audience that they can have confidence in his ability.
