Basic Designs

You need to make a shell for the pants…. You can use wire mesh or thin flexible plastic to create the pant shell.

Cut out the dotted area on the back side of the pants (it follows the seams down the sides) and hem them shut.

Sew in 2-3 magnets along gimmicked shell pants on each outer pant leg. Also sew in corresponding magnets in a matching pair of black pants.

Add some small flaps with Velcro on the gimmick pants, as well as the tabs on the sides of regular pants to receive the Velcro. ********** Now the next part is the pull the covering over the top of the leg. You need a very flexible strip of plastic sewn to complete the out line of your waist from the front of the pant shell. Then cut a piece of black fabric the size of the out line of the hole. Then attach it to the rim of the plastic band and the front pant shell. This way the plastic band can be folded inward flexing to the inside curve of the pant shell and folding that black cloth covering inside.

For the Shirt you will need a thin rectangular piece of wire mesh or plastic to mold around your front waist. The shell is placed in the shirt and the bottom of the shirt is folded behind it and attached. You may want to use a bit of fabric batting in it to make the outline of the shell less noticeable.

You will need to have a slit down the back to the side of the shirt on the opposite side you grab your legs on. The same method as the pants with the magnets can be used.

This illusion is very angle sensitive!!!!
