The Tree Surgeon throws one end of a coiled rope over the tree's 'nose'. When the loop lands back on the ground, the other end that the surgeon had been holding is suddenly tied around his right foot. As soon as the surgeon pulls on the rope to pull himself up, the rope is suddenly tied around his ankle. After he bangs his head on the tree's 'nose', his left ankle is suddenly tied to the other side of the rope. When he falls to the ground, the rope has disappeared.
When the surgeon pulls out the Termite Gas tube, the part protruding from the hole above the surgeon stays in place, but nothing cut the rubber tube.
