                                       Go-Go Knots

                                         You tie a series of simple Overhand
                                       Knots along a length of rope, working
                                       from the left end to the right, so that
                                       the knots run in regular order (fig. 1).
                                       Taking the ends of the rope, you say
                                       "Go!", give the rope a quick stretch
                                       and the knots are gone.
                                         This is done as follows: Keep the
                                       knots "open" so they can be looped
                                       or gathered over the extended left fin-
                                       gers, starting with the knot at the left.
                                       The right hand helps in this proce-
                                       dure and you must be careful to place
                                       each knot exactly the same way,
                                       without twisting the rope. The right
                                       hand tucks its end of the rope
                                       between the projecting left fingers.
                                       Turn the left hand so the right can
                                       grip the left end of the rope (fig. 2).
                                       With the word "Go!", pull the hands
                                       wide apart. The left hand comes
                                       through the coiled knots, eliminating
                                       them instantly.
