Jury mast knot

Traditionally used on boats for rigging a

temporary mast, the jury mast knot also has several
more frivolous functions. Like the Tom Fool’s knot,

which has a similar starting point, it can be turned
into an amusing party trick.

1 Form three overhand loops in the standing part, and place them side by

side as shown.
