Secret of the Indian rope trick is finally revealed: it's a hoax

...
The secret of the Indian rope-trick, which has intrigued generations of scientists and magicians, has been uncovered by a Scottish academic after a five-year investigation.

Peter Lamont, a former president of the Magic Circle in Edinburgh and now a researcher at the city's university, revealed the truth at Edinburgh's International Science Festival last night.

He has discovered that the trick has never been performed and was invented by an American newspaper as part of a circulation drive 111 years ago.
