Hi, I'm magician Paul Weatherbee and I'm going to show you the impossible knot trick. This
isn't a trick, more or less, a bet. Fair bet among friends. You show a piece of rope and
then you tell the folks, "Gee, wouldn't it be impossible if I held on to each end of
the rope and a knot appeared?" Well, of course this is impossible, everybody would agree
with you. But this is what you do. Once you have everybody convinced that it would be
impossible to tie a knot without letting go of the ends. All you have to do is cross your
hands, cross your arms rather. Hold one end of the rope with one hand, get the other end
of the rope with the other hand. Hold on tight and then just uncross your arms. And there
it is, the impossible knot. One more time, all you have to do is cross your arms. Hold
one end tight, hold the other end tight, and just uncross your arms, and there it is, the
impossible knot. I hope you have fun with this. Until later, keep the magic in your
life.
