On Again - Off Again

Here is another version of the fin· TRAPPED
ger and loop Stunt. which uses a dif·
ferent way of placing the cord. Again,
it appears in the shape of an "8." but
the uppet loop, in which the finger is
inserted, may be made considerably
larger (fig. 1).
Arranged as in the fitst diagram,
the loop will snag the finger when the
ends of the cord are pulled. The
second diagram shows the form in
which the loops pull dear.
Start with the left end, forming the
loops as in the "key" diagram, so that
the end can bf' slid over or under the PUll DOWN
bight to produce the result desired BOTH ENDS
(fig. 2). fig. 1
This is recommended as an alter·
nate for the previous method. Switch
!Tom one to the other and you will
keep keen observers baffled when you
repeat the stunt.
