This is a super impressive penetration illusion that you can do to impress your friends. It can be used as an ice breaker in a restaurant or pub as these places usually have plenty of straws in stock.
Effect ; Two drinking straws are held in your hand, one horizontal and one vertical. They are twisted and contorted around each other to form a tangled mess. However, one shap pull on each end of the straws brings everything back into perfect order.
How its done :
You need two drinking straws, these can be waxed paper or plastic. Here we are using two differnt colored ones to make the tutorial easier.
Straws are held one horzontal and one vertical as shown. It is very important that the horizontal straw is held on top of the vertical one.
Keeping both straws held firmly, take the end of the vertical one and wrap it around the horizontal one as shown above.
Now take one end of the horizintal straw and wrap it completely around the vertical one as shown above
Now take two end of the straws in each hand and give a sharp tug to release the knot
