How many of you like to pull your arm out of a sleeve to show your hand coming out the bottom?

I usually do it on a unicycle, which requires different movements.

Harley, are we talking about escaping a jacket or did you just change the subject?

Escaping the jacket. For me, it's much easier turning left on the uni. Does that qualify me for NASCAR?

Not me. I use a Posey and the neck opening is so big that my shoulder almost slides out when I pull my arm out. I think it gives the impression that the jacket isn't very secure.
Of course, maybe me getting out of the jacket also gives the impression that it isn't very secure. |

I do, Kristen doesn't. Ironically enough, she only performs hers upside down. I don't think she ever performs it standing.

I wish I could, but the sleeve is too small and my arms not limber enough, but I love how it looks when it is done

The old Abbott's escape books say that the width of the arm hole must be at least the length of the shoulder to elbow (for the respective performer.) Having longer arms, I cannot do the move unless I have a custom jacket (ever see the Copperfield jacket...the sleeves look like bat wings!) Does anyone know the width of the Albertson/Wong arm hole?

Or you could get slack in the neck area, first.
