Wow there are so many:  
Trapeze, curl in NTHF, pull  
PLasic Whip, grab string closest to you, pull  
Houdini Mount, Land into back triangle, pop up, pull  
trapeze., pinch string, curl in THF like magic drop, whip, pop up, pull

He has a good tut.  
Also you can go into Houdini Mount, put the loop on your thumb into the gap, pop it out and pull.
