It is one of my favorite "simple" tricks. I have "simple" in quotes because it uses simple gear and is simple to perform once you PRACTICE it a lot. I am glad you found my video. Thank you for your comment and for your Thanks.
How do you explain a old Asian dude using a regular thin gold neck chain and a wedding ring with the chain hanging on a stick before he lowers it into the wedding ring
I don't want to know what forces of roation and gravity do this - I want to know at which point and how - no matter the forces - the loops get interlocked.... if you drilled the chain to a ceiling and did this, would you have to undrill it in order to get the ring out - THIS should be the question.... but everybody on youtube who explains this goes just on about how rotation and gravity tie the knot........yes - theses forces do it. I can see that. I'm not stupid.... I want to know if the loops are truely interlocked or not....
The chain can be taken off by just reversing the flip of the ring thru the chain. I usually just pull the chain back thru the ring, I guess because it is an easier motion. The chain is making a half hitch knot around the ring. Should I make another video of this trick showing it in reverse?
@CHARLES CRANFORD that would be truly awesome. You don't have to if there are no other people who want to see it - but I'd love it.... I watched like 16 videos about this yesterday, but nobody would address whether or not and if so how the two closed loops actually interlock. Some would claim they did, but no one would show it past the point at which the knot is tied :-) P.S I just reread my other comment and noticed two things...first: my curiosity sounded aggressive - which I'm sorry for and second: I said "drill to the ceiling" which sounds funny now...I guess you know what I meant.
I agree. I have seen someone do this trick with a wedding ring and a gold rope necklace. I wanted to use something that showed up well on the camera and would help viewers understand what was going on. Thank you for your comment.
I remember my dad showing me this trick as a child. Glad to know how to it 25 years later. Thanks man.
Thank you for your comment. Now that you know how, you have to practice to get it perfect and pass on memories.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD Definitely. Pass the tradition.
Same here❤️
Thank you, Veritasium didnt explain it but you did. 👍
Thank you.

I'm so pleased I've finally found out how to do this. Been trying to work it out for ages but it's beaten me. Many thanks from England.

Works the same way. Thank you for your question.

Way better then learning it from Klutz all they did was say it happened
Good
Thank you.
Slower...
we will have to get the slow mo guys to do it.
Thank you for the comment.
I use a ring thats barely 2 inches wide and a much smaller chain.. this is kinda way too easy and obvious
