Tie a knot without letting go of either end of a string*

video Tie a knot without letting go of either end of a string*
Here's a simple and fun trick to do with your friends. Sorry if it's a little hard to get at first. I didn't notice how dark it would be and I didn't have any brighter material to use. I may get pictures later and turn it into a full instructable.
*Be warned that there is actually a special trick to it and you do indeed let go of one end at one point though the point is to lead others to believe that you didn't.

I read in a book a few years back about how to do it without letting go at all.  I forgot the method however.

 NO NO NO. I can do it without letting go at all.

if you put it on the table without touching it, then cross your arms hold onto both ends, then uncross them, then you'll end up with a knot.

 yeah, but I have aout $200 dollars worth of magical props, and I am really good with sleights so this is a minor trick. if you like illusions or mind tricks, maybe we should start a group showing people how to do sleights, and mental tricks aswell?

(woot the Wii is good for something) lolz
but sleight is about drawing attention to certain parts.
seriously the best mental magician ever is derren brown. go on and search him up.

You've got a good presentational style, and + marks for not being afraid to let people see / hear you! (lighting is a bit dim though)
