Knot and Rope

Conceived by Louis Tannen, this is a novel and surprising effect that is just a bit different.

Effect

A ring is borrowed, placed in a handkerchief, and given to a spectator to hold. A six-foot rope is then stretched between performer's left foot and outstretched right hand. Performer grasps one corner of handerkchief with left hand and snaps handkerchief for a moment in front of the rope. Ring is now found threaded on the knot in the center of the rope.
