-pull sth. off

"Please don't push me. I can't pull this off, as I can't swim"

What does 'pull off' mean in the context? Does it mean to accomplish something?
Is 'pull sth off' common usage in spoken English?

Thanks

meantolearn I can't pull this off I can't make others believe that I am being successful at doing this. I can't do this convincingly. I would say that the expression to pull (something) off is used fairly commonly used in informal situations.
