Handkerchief And String Trick

AN ENDLESS PUZZLE.
Remove your coat and then take a piece of twine some three yards long, tie the ends together, place it over your right arm and put your right hand in your waistcoat pocket. The trick is to take the string off your arm without cutting the twine or removing your hand from your pocket. The way to accomplish this feat is to pass the twine through the armhole of the vest and over your head, then through the opposite armhole ; now place your left hand under the waistcoat, draw the string down, and step out of it.
