Anyone who has threaded a needle will tell you it is no easy feat - but a new video might just put an end to fraying cotton and pin pricks.

Twitter user John Bick took to the social media site earlier this week where he shared the genius hack.

In the clip a woman can be seen placing a length of thread on her palm and simple rubbing the eye of the needle over the top.

The friction causes the cotton to pass through the eye with ease rather than attempting to push the ends of the thread through the slim hole.

Twitter user John Bick shared the eye-opening video online where it received more than 35,000 retweets and 71,000 likes

Captioning the video John wrote: 'That awkward moment you realize you did it wrong your whole life.'

The tweet has since gone viral, garnering over 35,000 retweets and 71,000 likes since it was shared on Monday.

John's Twitter followers were wowed by the simple yet effective trick describing it as 'magic'.

One wrote: 'Good grief. After 50 years of going cross-eyed'

Another commented: 'These are the reasons we have the Internet'.

John's followers were left in awe of the simple hack, describing it as 'sorcery'

While the trick is a well known among seamstresses, there are a few tips to ensure it is most effective.

It is recommended that hands are clean and dry and free of any lotion as this will cause the thread to stick to your hands.

Many recommend opting for a 'rougher' area of the hand, such as the knuckles as palms may be too soft to cause the required friction.

When rubbing the needle make sure you stick to a fast a steady speed, moving it back and forth until there is enough thread through the eye to grab it and pull it through.
