Exactly - I've done it with the same size cord. I can't make it do that if it's twisted. Other posters used to tell me it wasn't a working slip knot - that it was just a knot tied really tight in back, lol.
I made it work my way, over and over, even in miniature, lol. Couldn't for the life of me let go of it when twisted and have it stay in place. No way, no how. (Aside to stl: Not even wet!)

that is because he not a typical garrote (garrotte)
See I was thinking typical garrote - read the email I sent you.
Also the method he used is similar to a toggle rope, but on the end of a toggle rope it is not a slipknot. The very end of the rope that makes the loop is actually weaved into rope.

I hate to post this because it is similar to the what was used on JonBenet, but remember the loop on a toggle rope in not a slipknot.

OK then - now I don't feel so stupid. What I *don't* understand is how so many people looked at it and thought it made sense the way it was usually/commonly described. Maybe most didn't actually *look* ??
