Figure 11-11A–C. The Professor’s Nightmare. Start
with the ends of a 6-foot piece of string held lightly
in your fingertips, ends projecting (A). Bring your
hands together and snag opposite standing parts with
the ring and little fingers of each hand. Move hands
apart. As string goes taut, insert middle fingers as
shown (B). Let go with one hand and use it to bring
up the part that leads from the end on the other hand.
Here we show the hands open for clarity, but in per-
formance this move is concealed by the fingers of the
left hand (C).
