Secret: Read PREPARATION carefully to see how you can solve this puzzle
Secret: Read PREPARATION carefully to see how you can solve this puzzle
Props: Any ring and one cord
Preparation: Get someone to help you practise this item before presenting it. Tie one piece of cord into a loop (circle). Slide the ring onto one end of the loop. Have your friend hold up his fingers. Put each end of
the loop over one finger (see figure 1) but not too tight. Take a section of this cord and make another loop
over the finger on the other side of the ring (see figure 2). Be sure you put the second loop below the first
loop on the finger. Take the original loop and carefully lift it above the finger (see figure 3). Tell the holder
to tighten up on the cord. As he does, you let go of your loop. The ring will fall free even though the string is
still on his fingers. You will have to practise this a number of times before you can expect to do it smoothly
