Kinktoberfest 2025 New Mexico Educator Announcement: TwiztedMagic & OtherKitty

TwiztedMagic & OtherKitty, have had a tying partnership for over a year, that has been absolutely magical! Their rope bondage approach has both Japanese and Western influences. They believe that a solid foundation of core principles and techniques is an essential key to learning. TwiztedMagic has put in thousands of hours in practice and application. OtherKitty has about 2 years of Bottoming experience and has been learning to tie as well. They strive to maintain a learning and growth mindset as individuals and rope artists. Seeing a need in their community, they founded KnotScience_NM, an organization with the goal of creating change and furthering Rope Bondage education in New Mexico.

Classes:

“Rope 101”: Curious about rope but not sure where to start? This hands-on beginner class will guide you through the essentials—basic safety, understanding and managing risks, consent practices that keep everyone comfortable, choosing and caring for rope, and a few simple techniques to get you tying right away. No gear? No problem! We’ll provide community rope, so all you need to bring is your curiosity and a willingness to learn. Whether you’re here to build a new skill, explore with a partner, or simply see what rope play is all about, this is your safe, supportive space to begin.

“Bedroom Bondage (Beyond just sex)”: Bondage can be so much more than restraint—it can be a slow, intoxicating dance of seduction, connection, and trust. In this class, we’ll explore how rope can heighten intimacy, deepen desire, and turn foreplay into an unforgettable experience. You’ll learn how to tease the mind as much as the body, using creative positions and sensual ties that invite both passion and playfulness. The Sommerville Bowline single column tie is your key to unlocking this workshop, so please arrive already familiar—whether from our 101 class, our YouTube channel, or your own practice. If you’re brand new to rope, we recommend starting with Rope Bondage 101 so you can fully savor everything this class has to offer. Bring your curiosity, your partner, and your desire to make the bedroom your playground.

“Chair Bondage”: Who says rope bondage has to stay on the floor? In this unique workshop, we’ll unlock the creative possibilities of chair bondage—transforming everyday seats into tools of restraint, seduction, and play. Explore different types of chairs, learn scene-building ideas, and discover techniques that will spark your imagination. Chair bondage is perfect for adding something fresh to your rope repertoire, and it’s also great for those who prefer (or need) to stay off the floor for extended scenes. The Sommerville Bowline single column tie is required for this class—learn it ahead of time in our Rope Bondage 101, on our YouTube channel, or through your own practice. If you’re brand new to rope, we recommend starting with 101 so you can jump right into the fun.
