Can you join two pieces of string in your mouth?

Hold the string up before your friends and knot the two ends together.

Twist the string in one full turn with your hands. This is the part that requires practice. It is important to get just the right twist.

Materials: A piece of string two or three feet long and a pair of scissors.

Now fold one loop over the other, as shown, put your hands through the double loop and pull taut, holding the "lock" or twisted part between the thumb and first finger of one hand.
 
Grasp the string with your left hand a couple of inches away from your right hand, and ask someone to cut through the two strings between your left and right hands.

Now still keeping the "lock" in between thumb and finger of right hand so it does not show, hold up the string to show it has been cut in two.

Bring your right hand to your mouth, place the locked part in your mouth. Take hold of the opposite ends with each hand and go through the motion of chewing and let your tongue push the short piece of string to the side of your mouth.

Pull long string out your mouth, and pass it around. Who can doubt that you joined the two pieces in your mouth?

When you have a chance, you can slip the short piece out of your mouth on the sly. It will look like the piece in the picture.
