Default Rope Trick from Fling

I'd love instructions on how to do the rope trick Fred Baisch did at Spring Fling - the one involving two people pulling, a third in the middle, and the rope going through his jacket (tied around a wand that is later removed).

I've tried but I just can't remember how it works. Anybody know a site with instructions (or a similar trick?).

With some help from Fitzy and Harpoetta, I found out that this is a variation of Grandmothers necklace called the great coat escape. I found instructions via google book search, but I have yet to try it.

I'll post the link if I get back to my pc

This trick (and some other versions of it) are in Mark Wilson's complete course in magic. There'll be lots of other stuff to interest you in there as well.
