Red: Almost!

The man asks the audience to stand in a circle. He offers a red woolen thread to one person and unrolling it he walks to his opposite counterpart to give the thread further. He goes on till a network of red connections is formed by the long thread. He asks the people to hold tight and wrap the thread around their shoulders. Standing in the middle he slowly gives his weight to the network. Cries of hopeful doubt. He gives more weight, till he lets his whole body be carried by the web. The threads break.
