Trick #6
Challenge Knot Tie
| Challenge your friends to tie a knot in a piece of
rope without letting go of the ends. None of them will be
able to do it, but you will! |
REQUIREMENTS: A piece of rope 3 or 4 feet long.
This is an easy one, but it will
baffle people who don't know how to do it. Hold the rope as in
Figure 1, and give your friends a chance to try to tie a knot in
the rope without at any time letting go of either end. When they
give up, take back the rope and lay it down on a table.
Now for the secret move: Cross your arms
before you pick up the rope!. Pick it up one end at a time to make
it easier to grasp. When you uncross your arms, a knot will appear
in the middle of the rope, without your at any time releasing
either end!
