The Mysterious Ring

Your hands are tied together with a
loop of string between (fig. 1). The
knots are tied and sealed, if desired.
Take a ring, then tum your back for a
moment. When you show your
hands, the ring is tied between them
on the string (fig. 6).
To perform this trick, take a loop
of string and push it through the cen~
ter of the ring (fig. 2).
Push the loop of string up under fig. 1
the string encircling the wrist, and
pass the loop over the fingers of the
hand (figs. 3 and 4).
Then push the loop under the
string in back of the wrist, and bring
the loop over the fingers again
(fig. 5).
As i!. n:sull, the ring will be tied on
the string (fig. 6). With a little prac~
tice, these movements can be per~
fig. 2
formed rapidly.
