How to Perform the Go-Go Knots Trick

The Trick

• 1

  Tie four loose overhand knots in a piece of rope, working from left to right.

• 2

  Be consistent about the knots; they should all be identical.

• 3

  Pick up the rope and tug on the ends while saying, "Go!"

• 4

  Notice that the knots have disappeared.

How It's Done

• 5

  Leave the loops large enough to put the four fingers of your left hand through them.

• 6

  Begin with the knot on the left end and put a knot on each of your fingers. Be careful to keep the knots facing the same direction.

• 7

  Tuck the right end of the rope between your left fingers.

• 8

  Take the left end of the rope with your right hand (closest to the thumb) and pull the knots off your hand while saying, "Go!"

• 9

  Notice that the knots come undone.
