The Threading the Needle Illusion Explained

Video Transcript

Hi! This is Dave Foydel with expertvillage.com. In this next clip you will learn threading the needle trick. Alright, this next trick is a called threading a needle. I don’t know if you guys have ever done any sewing but boys can hardly get the thread through that little teeny needle hole, you can sit there and try and try and try, it never really goes through, unless you know magic. I have figure a way out take it and go right through just like that. So it goes right through the needle. We can try that again; really small one, go one, two, three and it goes right through just like that. Alright, so here is how this works; now take the rope, and I put over with my left hand, with the short end towards my palm and long end out here. Now when I say short end, you are going about 5 or 6 inches, the long end can be as long as you like. Now take the long end and wrap it around your thumb and if you notice I am doing it a nice even line. I am not just kind of balling it up just however, I am putting it nice and straight across and I get almost to the end of my thumb, and I will come up here and I will make a little loop, just like that and I grab the short end that was hanging towards my palm, then grab here and what I tell them is I am going to get this through the little hole here. Actually it doesn’t go through the hole, it is going to come under the hole and I will let you see how this goes here, as this comes here, I go one, two and this comes under and up through like this, so it really came from underneath like this and through, but when done quickly, when you do this at full speed they won’t see it come from this side of the rope. It will look like you went right through that little hole. So you go one, two, three, it looks like it just goes right through but in actuality it is just coming from underneath and going in the hole and that is threading the needle.
