Going on a trip and need to [utilize your luggage space efficiently](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vacuum-kit)? The **Magic T-shirt** is the ultimate space saver; it magically compresses a [full-sized shirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airknitx-tshirt) into the size of a hand using a "special technique".

When you want to use the t-shirt, simply soak it in cold water for a little while and *VoilÃ !* it will magically get back into normal size.

With its really [compact size](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanobag-1), I actually wouldn't mind keeping a spare tee or two in my bag.
