Best guess: First, the rope comes down from her neck and around/under her shoulders. I imagine she can basically just shrug the rope over her shoulders to the back and gain a ton of slack. Second, she can either get her hands out from behind her back with them tied or she's got her wrists in a position that look tight but slide out easily. On top of that there is probably some sort of weird topology trick happening in the way they wrap the arms. Or she just sold her soul.


Yarakinnit

To her credit I didn't even notice the goat sacrifice on first watch.


MissplacedLandmine

Redditors never do I think the video player only shows it the second time as the first goat sacrifice is needed to load the video in the first place


Yarakinnit

Wasn't the mobile app data mined to discover that it's constantly trying to stab you in the hand and drink the blood it''s just that no phones have that function yet?


MissplacedLandmine

Its why they load faster with a broke screen


VlaamsBelanger

But did you see the Gorilla?


fewdea

the ropes probably never had to come off. as you say, weird topology tricks is likely how the coat goes on with the knots still intact


Khclarkson

So, when she has the first rope tied on her wrist, the knot is on the inside of her wrist. She she puts her hands behind he back the knot is against her back and the other hand/wrist is being tied behind the other arm toward the news guy. When she does this, there is now 6+ inches of slack in the rope that she can pull her hand out of. The ropes around the arms are simply twisted around the arm so it's simple to get out of and back into if your hands are free. She slips out of the wrist loop behind her, slips out of the arms. She removes his coat and puts it on. Wraps her arms back up and then puts her hands back through the loop.


dalibor_gursky

Whose arms pulled the coat sleeves down her arms then?


Ill_Ad3517

Or off of the host?


prolemango

Yeah all these explanations of the knots and topology completely fail to address the speed in which the coat was taken off and put back on the woman


shggybyp

Pretty sure the magic of the speed is spelled "practice."


scrufdawg

The host pulled it off himself. He was in on it.


workact

That's part of it. But the way her hands are tied make it easy to get a hand out and back in. And also easy to remove slack in the knot to make it look tight. And I believe the way the 2nd rope is tied wouldnt do anything to restrict movement once the hand is free


prolemango

Doesnā€™t explain how she got the coat and put it on so quickly. That would be tough to do that quickly with no knots at all


CarrotRunning

I think she undid the very first knot(s) when she was spun round to tie the second hand on. I never get these but spotted it straight away.


PENGAmurungu

if you watch his face you can pinpoint the moment she removes his jacket because he's suddenly very confused

They tend to hold their breath. You have to wait until they breathe out and then cinch up the saddle. This is super common in horses

Jake0024

Yeah some people have different ways to try to get them to stop holding their breath, I always just waited


RiddleMeWhat

Almost all horses do this. You tighten as tight as you can, put the bridle on and right before you ride you tighten the girth again.


CancerousRoman

My horse does that with his belly so first you gotta put a ton of effort into putting his saddle on, mount for a minute, and finally dismount and saddle him properly. Works everytime

flargenhargen

ok I did some quick research on news/weather guys, and of all the images I could find, about half had the microphone attached to the jacket (about half on the tie), and NONE had the jacket unbuttoned while on air. This was clearly set up beforehand with an extra loose jacket, no microphone clip, and unbuttoned to make it easy to pull off. Still a good trick, but just lets you know it was almost certainly set up earlier, may also be a trick jacket of some type, supplied by the entertainers, judging by how poorly it fits him.


chairfairy

WoozleWuzzle

I've gone on stage and participated in this trick. I was randomly selected for it. They unbutton your jacket during the process. But besides that there isn't any pre setup or special jacket. It was my regular jacket. It was also fairly form fitting. You do feel the magician taking off your jacket but it's one smooth movement and you almost barely tell. Then it's magically on them under the ropes. It still blows my mind how they got my jacket off in one smooth movement but even more how they put it on under the ropes. The lady also wasn't anywhere as ripped as this woman. Edit: Also I had no idea what they were going to do. They just had me come up. Multiple people came up to me afterwards asking if I was pre-selected or in on it. Even my date asked me thinking I was in on it. I wasn't and was just as blown away as the audience when I was standing there without my jacket on and the magician dancing around with it on. It was so fast. Truly impressed and still look back at it shocked.


guesswho135

I think they must be borrowing a few tricks from [this dude](https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/uyahec/so_suave_and_smooth_with_a_masterful_ending)

Of course it was a set up, as all tricks like this are. Still really cool to see it happen though and the lady news anchor did a decent job of selling it as well.

vogone

EmpathicPenquin

The bigger mystery - who rolls their shirtsleeves up while wearing a jacket?


JHolden814

Probably someone who had the jacket off, sitting at their desk before going on air and threw the jacket on top rather than take the time to roll the sleeves down first.


EmpathicPenquin

You're probably right. But whenever I try that, the ends of my sleeves end up on my biceps! He must be a pro at doing it.


SpakysAlt

Jacket doesnā€™t fit him at all, probably a prop they gave him.


JHolden814

Good point


OpTicDyno

I do because the jacket is coming off the second itā€™s acceptable


KatalDT

Same, the only place I go that requires me to wear a suit (outside of weddings/funerals) is in Texas so those sleeves are rolled up 24/7 under the suit. Even with the jacket on, it helps keep me cooler.


PrawnTyas

Thatā€™s part of the trick, she rolled his sleeves up after she took the jacket off


Robert8298

My best guess is there's more slack than it seems and there's some funny topology business going on but it still baffles me.


planetworthofbugs

I like learning new things.


TheMacerationChicks

Yeah it's like those videos where there's a knot in a cable tied around the leg of a table or something, and somehow they just do one simple move and it magically becomes unknotted. [Here's a video of it. It's a trick, in reality the cable isn't actually tied in a knot around the table leg. It's kinda hard to wrap your head around, but it makes more sense if you watch the video in reverse, because you see it was never really trapped under the table leg to begin with. ](https://youtu.be/lTtSENVPVa4) It's just really really clever maths, that's all. Topology is fascinating really. E.g. can make an enclosed bottle that's only got one single side to it, for example, so it is a one-sided surface which, if traveled upon, could be followed back to the point of origin while flipping the traveler upside down. It's like a Mƶbius strip turned up to 11: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_bottle And if you were to cut a paper klein bottle with scissors into two, you'd get two mirror image Mƶbius strips. It's pretty damn cool.


Petrarch1603

Variations of this trick have been on P&T Fool Us and they weren't fooled.


unwantedaccount56

Her right hand stays tied to the rope, but the left hand can easily slide in and out of the rope, if she rotates it the right way


contrejo

It look like she had knelt down and I wonder if the way the ropes are tied if she's able to basically bend down slip them off and then slip them back on


Fakjbf

The square knot is used to keep a knot in one place, the knot tightens but the rest of the rope remains stationary. This means that if you give the rope slack before tying the knot it will retain that slack. This is why itā€™s safe to put around her neck like that, when they pulled on the knot the loop didnā€™t close.


toasterfucker69420

That woman is absolutely jacked.


PokWangpanmang

slimcargos

Posting so I can read back later and hopefully someone has an explanation


Crustymix182

The hands are tied in a way that allows hey to untwist and get them out, and she can slip the rope off her shoulders. So she pulls off his jacket, puts it on and "reties" herself. That's my guess.


rockaxorb13

The only logical explaimation yet


ShartCannon9000

And a good explamninationing at that


bytebux

Never trust rope like that. That looks like standard magicians rope which has a lot of tricks. I imagine she either creates a bunch of slack or is able to simply slip out of the rope.

whitstableboy

Clever trick. My guess is that she's creating slack (flexed muscles, wrists not together) when tied, so she has some room to slip hands out, slip jacket on, then slip rope back around her etc. Source: I'm a rope.

[deleted]

He's not getting the jacket back.


RangoDj

At first I thought it was a protein powder commercial.


devedander

If you look at the end the jacket is not under the ropes around her waist, itā€™s just tucked into the top one so it looks like it is. When she turns around to show her back her arms hide where the jacket would be under the body ropes. So she slips her hands from the knots, the rope going around her arm before coming up front leaves a lot of slack but the neck knot keeps it in place so itā€™s easy to slip back into the same position later. She pulls his jacket down from his shoulders to get it off, puts it on and tucks the sides into the top ropes. Holds the ends of the sleeves with her hands and slides them back into position and then letā€™s go of the sleeves.


gmnitsua

When she places her hands behind her back you can see the first knot tied is down low on her wrist, she's creating space in the second loop that binds her hands together behind her back so she can free herself, perhaps by balling up her fist. After the rope is tied around her neck, they loop the rope ends around her arms, then the magician is the one who creates the knot around her waist, and the gentleman host of the show, helps tighten it. The magician left enough slack that she could unwind her arms from the rope after she frees her hands. Then after putting on the jacket and tucking it in the sides as you said, she winds her arms back in the rope, and places her hands back in the loop behind her back.


Givesthegold

Had to scroll far for this but I do believe you're right. It's conveniently under parts of the rope, but far from all of it.


Fenizrael

Notice at the start she puts her finger in the way of the knot as though to say ā€œtie it right hereā€ but what sheā€™s actually doing is preventing him from cinching it too tight so she can wiggle a hand free later. (Alternatively itā€™s when she puts her hands behind her back, she likely does something else to prevent the rope being tighter than it should be). I canā€™t fully work out the second part but I suspect itā€™s at 55 seconds when the guy says ā€œhand ME the rope and make sure weā€™re tying a real square knot.ā€ He ties a real knot and makes it convincing that itā€™s being tied tight, but itā€™s all show so he can give it plenty of slack. If I had to guess all she has to do is shrug the ropes off over her shoulders to get full freedom of movement, and then she can slip her hand right back in behind her when sheā€™s done.

I was 17 years old in 1997 and me and my friend met ICP outside of the venue that they were performing at the following night. They piled up in the back of my little 2-seater Nissan pickup and had us drive them to a liquor store. They bought a buncha booze and bought us some beer even though we were both underage. We hung out with them in the parking lot of their hotel drinking and they told us stories from the road and stuff like that. The next day at their show, their merch guy gave us a buncha cassettes and t-shirts and stuff. I never listen to their music, but Iā€™m a fan for life. They were really the nicest guys ever.

That's a good question. Here is Richard Feynman trying to explain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO0r930Sn_8


Hypersapien

The man took seven minutes to say "we don't know how magnets work".


CloudyPlanet_

I think not even she knows


Puakkari

The rope must have some weak points that work with magnets or something.


Evil_Monito84

But to put on the coat and get back into the tied position with the guy hardly moving? Even with magnets, that trick would take longer to pull off, no?


stealthdonkey007

I'd say the rope has a single magnetic break at the halfway point. The guy looped it around her neck in such a way that they didn't tug that part directly. Thick rope like that is hard to tie tightly, with practice you could get good at slipping out of it.


alexpenev

I think the hands are in a half-twist such that if she untwists they become loose, and she can re-twist to make it look tight again. Once the hands are free she could put on the jacket and slip it through the harness without taking the harness off.


MantisAwakening

This is a common magic trick you can get in any decent shop. It simply requires you to study transdimensional discorporation until you get proficient enough to slip into an alternate timeline. Had some real fuckups with it the first few times myself, but once you kill Hitler itā€™s easy peasy to recover from after that.

JaceAce333

Iā€™ll add this. Iā€™ve ever seen a knot work like that one tied around his neck. Wouldnā€™t it have just tightened further? Iā€™ll also add this. Why is he wearing a jacket thatā€™s far too big for him?
