Default Pants falling down?

Hey,

I'm the costume director at my high school. In the play that we're producing right now, a man and a woman get into a fight. During this fight the woman has to slice the man's belt off with a letter opener! I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to do this without actually having to cut the belt on stage.

Thanks

Pre cut the belt and use a whopper popper Tutu.Com - Notions: Fasteners or snap to rejoin them. The snap will hold a bit of tension and still be able to come off when the object gets between the body and the pants. paint to match the belt and from a distance it should work.
