Why hello there! Are you read for a magic trick that will surprise and amaze your friends? Then keep reading!

The aim of this magic trick is to tie a knot in a piece of string while holding onto both ends of the string. Sounds tricky, doesn’t it! Don’t get tangled up!

To create the impossible knot you’ll need a piece of string about 2 rulers long, or 60cm. Yes, that’s it! You can make a lot of magic from very little, you know.

Now, for the magical part. Firstly, put the string on a table where you can easily reach it. Now fold your arms. With your arms still folded, take hold of the right end of the string with your LEFT hand and the left end of the string with your RIGHT hand. And whatever you do, don’t let go, or the magic trick will backfire – and oh my, I know a thing or two about magic spells backfiring!

Now, still holding the string, unfold your arms and just like magic – ABRACADABRA! There’s an impossible knot in your string! Well done!
