5. VANISHING LOOP KNOTS
After displaying the double knot slip the two first fingers of each hand through their respective loops from above, nip the ends (one in each hand), and pull them through the loops, as shown by the dotted lines, under the pretense of making an even more intricate knot. In reality this action unties the knot if the silk is pulled taut.
By pulling on the ends, however, until the two loops merge into the other folds, to all appearances a very large knot is made. Display this; then hold the silk by one end with the left hand and pass the right hand down its full length, causing the folds to dissolve under cover of that hand.
An amusing effect can be obtained by having an actual knot of the same material under the vest. While displaying the large knot, palm the loose knot from the vest with the right hand. Pass this hand down the silk, dissolving the apparent knot, and show the loose knot as having been pulled bodily from the silk.
