Vanishing Shirt

Like any magic trick some parts are concealed. In this case, the mechanism for pulling the shirt off is concealed behind my right leg.

A 2:1 pulley system provides the required mechanical advantage necessary to overcome friction and the force from the magnetic snaps

One end of the string anchors to the back of my right shoe while the other anchors to a washer that is used as a handle for pulling.

Prior to the effect, this handle is attached with velcro to the shoe.

This image shows the bib that is used to reduce friction. It is a plastic bag sewn to a piece of fabric. The fabric side sits of my shoulders while the plastic side is against the shirt which will slide.
