A neat effect produced by G. W. Hunter, a clever magician of England.

Performer holds a handkerchief in his hands. He brings his hands together and then apart again, and a bow knot is found tied in the handkerchief. To make the knot doubly strong, he inserts the ends of the handkerchief through each of the bows. At command, the handkerchief unties itself.
