Rh fall on the palmar side. In doing this movement be careful not to let the loops slip off the right fingers. In like manner with the left thumb and index remove the lower right index loop from the right index. Release the loops from the thumbs.

The two loops which are now on each index and little finger are bound together not far from the palm (Fig. 30).

Seventh: Twist tightly the two loops on each index finger about three times, by rotating the index away from you (or by dropping the loops from the index and twisting them with the thumb and index).

Eighth: The loops should now be dropped from the index (if this has not been already done to twist them with the thumb and index) and ttxe figure turned so that these twisted index loops shall hang down. With the left little finger pull

gently on the left near little finger strings, which will cause the right twisted hanging loops (one head-hunter) to move toward the other hanging loops (the other head-hunter) (Fig. 31); then they meet, and by jerking the left hand strings slightly
