Like this:

                           @
                            \   /\
                 ____________\_/_______________________________
                /             /    |                           \
               / /\    /\    / \   |                            |

When tight, the slip knot will slide up and down the line when pushed, but will hold tight when pulled. Perfect for an adjustable trick line.
