The small forefinger nooses are the brims of the hat. The Witch's Hat is made by taking the middle of the near thumb string (the top of the cup) in your mouth and pulling it out, without releasing the thumbs, until a large triangle is formed. Stretched out by bringing thumbs and forefingers closer together, the Cup can pass for A Boat on water. Several other very simple figures can be made from Cup and Saucer. View 2:36 minute video with audio: Dial-up, Broadband View 27 second video: Slow dial-up, Dial-up, Broadband Release both little fingers and extend thumbs up. You can remove each bottom string with the opposite hand, or you can use your middle fingers to remove the bottom near thumb string up and over the thumbs (at the same time) while leaving the upper string nooses in place (or use your mouth to remove the bottom near thumb string from the thumbs). Now remove the lower of the two strings, the original thumb nooses, from both thumbs (navaho thumbs). Move both your thumbs over the near forefinger strings and pick up both far forefinger strings (pulling the hands apart and strings tight is normally implied after each step). The string will go right through their arm!ĭo Opening A. (3) Let go of the strings on your little fingers and forefingers again, and pull your thumbs apart. Tell them to put their hand back up, from below, into the center of the figure. You have now caught the other person's hand.ĭo Opening A again with the far string still around the other person's wrist. (2) Now release the strings on both little fingers and forefingers, but keep the strings on the thumbs. Have them put one hand through the center of the figure.
Here's what the strings in Opening A are called.ĭo Opening A. Opening B is the same except you start with the left forefinger picking up the right palm string. View video: Slow dial-up, Dial-up, Broadband Unless told otherwise, tighten the strings after each step with palms facing each other, and fingers pointing up and spread apart. The left forefinger then moves right, goes through the right forefinger noose, and picks up the right palm string. Use your right forefinger to move left and pick up the left palm string on the back of the forefinger. For more details, click here.ĭo Position 1. View video: Slow dial-up, Dial-up, Broadband. (If told to grab a string, you would curl your finger around it and either hold it with the fingerprint side or, if instructed to, twist it 180 degrees towards or away from you as directed to take the string up on the finger or thumb.) Now just spread your hands and fingers apart to tighten the string and you have Position 1. Now, using your little fingers, pick up the far thumb strings on the fingernail side of the little fingers. The string closest to you is called the near thumb string, and the farthest one is called the far thumb string. The string now goes from one thumb to the next without any twists in it. Pick up one short section of the string loop on both thumbs without twisting it. You will need to learn Position 1 and Opening A, as these are commonly used to begin figures. Someday you might want to learn String Figure Notation, but you don't need to. Figures are described in both a special language that some "serious" string figure students prefer to use (much as most math students prefer "2+5=7" to "add two to five and you'll get seven"), and in plain English. The following figures give some indication of the amazing variety that human ingenuity has produced.
