Hello everyone, I'm the magician Ruxianguli

Let me teach you a little magic trick

Two silk scarves — watch closely

With these scarves, I first tie a knot

I just give it a light flick, like this

and the knot runs over to this side

Let me tell you how I did it

First, there is a knot

You pull one end gently — it's a slip knot

Hold this end, and one flick opens it

Like this

Hold your hand this way

Thumb and little finger

Turn your wrist over

Hook this end

And that makes a knot

But you need to practise a great deal

Be sure to practise several times before you perform

Only then will the effect really work
