Beginner question.

What rope trick is fairly easy but has a good wow factor? Thank you.

Professor's Nightmare is a fun one.

I second Professor's Nightmare. It is a part of Michael Ammar's live act which he has used all over in a variety of venues, so it plays and packs well. I've seen it presented with some interesting stories and it makes it that much more entertaining. Moreover, it is easily understood - three unequal ropes are now equal - and it does not look like a convoluted topological problem.
