Can someone explain how they did this magic trick? Video included.?

I can't tell you how he did that exactly, cause I simply don't know. But the standard and most known uses of quick change are done with two basic methods ...



1) Clothes are designed for fast removal

2) They are not removed but are modified to reveal the garment underneath and the inside of the lowered part when pulled down.



It's a combination of these that makes it complicated, together with the fact that they are specially designed, very very light stage costumes in silk so that when you start with say 10 layers on it appears normal.



An example of each method:

1) The clothes are not buttoned or zipped ... would take way too long. They have loop and eye fixings and these are held together with a thread that runs through the paired up loops. The thread simply need fast removal and the clothes fall of, drop down ... whatever. The fastest 'hands free' removal is to have a 'ring' on the top of the thread and this is hooked over something on the 'cover' ie the unmbrella, screen, sheet etc and when you walk away or this is removed it pulls the thread and gravity does the rest. (Note; lead shot in hems would make it drop faster!)



2) Imagine a dress with the top half is a different colour on the inside and you wera a matching top underneath. If the top is separated at the shoulders, it can now flap downwards and become the skirt .. showing the inside colour and the new top. Instant change.



Combine several of these to change designs, sleeves no sleeves, high neck, low neck .... and that's it.
