I think that from the context it means something along the lines of 'pull this out of the hat' (imagine a magician pulling out a rabbit) - to put in a great effort, to achieve a miracle!

Hi Nona,

"imagine a magician pulling out a rabbit"

Very intersting.

Thank you for the reply.

It seems very close, in this context, to "pull this off" – i.e. "succeed after some effort".
