For reason far too boring to go into (but related to a stage play) I have to
build a full-sized dummy person which has to disappear on cue. The figure
will be wearing a full-face mask and long flowing robes, and they *don't*
have to vanish: the effect should be that the man disintegrates and the mask
and robes just collapse, empty.

Any thoughts on how to construct the dummy figure? A lightweight head and
shoulders which support the robes, suspended and released from above?

If you can give it a weighted base you could aid the collapse with internal
elastic twixt head and base and suspend it using fishing line (or perhaps
black thread would be less visible?)
