    Appreciate the video, but what I can't say I appreciate is knowing with absolute certainty that I'll have to live the rest of my life knowing that I'll never be as good at anything as you are at casually threading that rope thru seemingly small openings. I feel like I'd have more trouble throwing a golf ball thru a doorway an arm's length away.
    Okay, seriously, 1:53 has to be CGI - that's like 18 inches of a 3mm rope! Are you recording these at Hogwarts??

      Hi, don't quite follow but sorry if this video troubles you. I use these types of block systems on racing sailboats I rig where space is a premium and could not find any clear "how to". My intent for all of my videos is to try and help others and open up to constructive comments so that I and others can learn.

      @@taylorsailing1122 Sorry for confusion - was completely tongue-in-cheek. Just commenting that your supernatural ability to thread a significant length of thin rope through those small openings basically broke my brain. One of the most random but incredibly impressive things I've seen on YT. You might've missed your calling as a stage magician.
      Have to add - just watched the 1:53 mark again thinking maybe it wasn't as crazy as I remembered, and it was the opposite. I'm willing to bet there are more fingers in this video than humans in the world who could do that.

      Thanks for the reply. I have done these with stop animation using CanvaPro software. It looks magical. Often sailors put in too large of blocks and lines when the smaller blocks work well.
