Pay, I say pay attention son, you're gonna learn something heah ...

You know how to make that instant slipknot in the end of the
cord?  I mean by holding the end in your left hand, creating a
small loop near the end, and then pushing a larger loop through
from the back and tightening the small loop around it.  OK, do
that but before you start, double over a short portion of the
short end in your left hand.  (Enough so that the very end
protrudes through the small loop when you draw that tight.)  Now
when you pull on the long end, you tighten the large loop and
when you pull the short end, the knot disappears completely.
