Harry Houdini (1874–1926) was a magician, but he became a legend for his uncanny ability to promote his exciting escapes from any contraption humankind could devise. He escaped from handcuffs, leg irons, straitjackets, packing crates, milk cans, and countless other devices. Not only was Houdini an expert at picking locks, but he also knew how to untie any knot, supposedly even with his toes.
I call the trick in the following tutorial the Houdini Knot because the performer can untie a super-tight knot in as little as one second. This particular video shows only the presentation, but if you’re one of my Patreon patrons or a Rokfin subscriber, you’ll have access to the full video with the explanation. In the mean time, please enjoy this free preview.
