You seethere's a knot in the middle? I can take the knot and pull itoff the rope. It disappears. It goes right over there.Female: Wow. Fancy. How did that happen?Ben: You want to learn that one?Female: Yeah.Ben: Okay. This is actually a, it's a type of knot called a slipknot thatyou've actually probably heard of. There's how it works: Firstof all before the trick starts, I cut off a small piece of rope,I tie it in a knot, and I put in my pocket or any hiddenlocation you like. Then this is how you tie a slip knot. First,you make a loop; you do that just by bringing one piece of ropeover to the other. Loop around, through. You make a loop, youtake this end and you wrap it around the other end. Then youtake the top loop and you bring it around the back and throughthe bottom loop, and you pull it up. Now you see you have onebig loop that looks like a noose. If you pull the two ends, thatslipknot slips through and gets smaller and smaller, until youhave this. This is the knot that I showed you; this was theslipknot.There's a few ways to make it disappear. One is the way that Ishowed you. Also, if you pull the two ends, it just vanishes.One thing you can do is you can make a loop, make another loop,pull it through, and tighten it up. You're going to say, "Here,blow on this," and it disappears. Another way is you have thatknot in your pocket like I showed you to begin with, you do theslipknot. You notice if you pull one way not much happens, butif you pull the other way, it completely undoes itself. I golike this to make a fist and I pull down, but as I'm pullingdown, it's actually undoing the knot.Female: Okay.Ben: You continue that motion down the string and it looks like you havethe knot in your hand. You do a magical gesture, it disappears,and it comes back over there.Female: You found it in your pocket.Ben: That's how you do magic with a slipknot.
