Hi Guys ,
I often perform without a jacket . Mostly when I am out in a club or bar and its just too hot to wear more then a shirt .
But I miss my favourite gimmick ! A pull ! or possibly a reel . I have found it so strong to finish with a dissapearing pen or ring ,particularly so fast and clean and without "transfers".
Has anyone seen or heard of a pull or reel that works without a jacket ?
If not I may have to invent one !

Not a pull... But,T'KO ( The Kaylor Option - by Jeff Kaylor) could be used with a button short sleeve shirt.

Yes , TKO is a good option .
Except for pens , and ring flights . But its not quite the " Bamm ! " . That instant gone ! Which I usually use to the max . Plus I would have to wear the same shirt every time .
I can pretty much achieve the same thing / close as TKO with a transfer and a pocket ditch as the hand has to be in motion .
A pull lets you do almost nothing and "Gone " . It can take a lot of heat .

It was just a thought! A ditch in a pant pocket is allot harder than a ditch to a jacket pocket.
If you do invent a pull you can conceal well without a jacket... put me down as your first customer, because I want one as well!!!
I am thinking about fixing a couple of different shirts with a customized copy of TKO to match each shirt, in the same color and material as the actual shirt!

Hello, so with all the pulls and stuff, do you need to customize shirts and jackets? That means you need a good seamstress right? There is no way I can sew anything like this alone. And I want to get into vanishes.

Why not just use the pull through the button gap in your shirt?

There are several ways to make a vanish,,,(palms,ditches.silks etc.) This post was just to talk about how to do without a jacket. You may be in a T-shirt and can not start clean and end clean. The above mentioned TKO and other will not work if you do not have a button shirt. There are several gimmicks that you have to hide! (gecko and others)

If you're looking to merely accomplish a "Ring Flite" without a reel, the model from Collector's Workshop is perfect. Ring ends up in the middle of the keys on your keyring and the spectator unscrews it to remove the ring. No reel or pull (hence, no danger of a lost ring) used.

Have you done this ?
Does it work for pens ?
Possibly could work along the lines of the Raven option .
I am interested if this already exists .

I developed a pull approach a decade ago called "disMbody." One configuration can be done without a coat. Another with a vest. One doesn't even need a shirt. Maybe it's time to work it up as an eBook.

Check out Sylvester the Jester's page.

Yes Pete , A very creative solution . It doesn't fit the criteria I mentioned . I am wanting to NOT alter my existing clothes , but add something .
Funsway , I am curious . Is this a gimmick that can be used when wearing a shirt and no vest/jacket .?
And it pulls . Pens , coins ?
CDo you have to alter your clothes ?
There is a market for this . Well, 2 on this page anyway!!

Other thank TKO does anyone have a non-jacket pull up their sleeve?

Yes it works. You just have to be creative. Think of a pull and the imagine all possible ways that one could be used, write them down but don't judge your ideas, that stifle your imagination. Ideas will come.

I even have one that is strapped to my shoulder that I wear under a t shirt and the nylon is threaded through the armpit. The object being to pull an object under my armpit to hide it. This is a reel though and I made it for a specific purpose.

While technically not a pull as such, I have used a weighted monofilament that is threaded through the waist band of the slacks, that has a weight at the concealed end, and a loop at the other that is used as the motivator for a r*****g c***d routine as explained in the final Tarbell book.
The loop is picked up and the weight, hanging on the inside of the slacks is pulled up, and the loop put in operational readiness.
When the tension is released by the fingers, the weight descends down the pant leg like an elevator, with enough momentum to activate the loop letting it do its required job.
Can be done in short sleeved shirts with the shirt tail tucked in. It won't vanish objects but can lift them.

The Raven is perfect for this! I really know of no other.
