When I was a kid we went camping with our pediatrician's family. My sister got stuck and I got to see how he removed it with this string trick. Fast forward 20 years, and I got to use it on my mother who snagged a lost hook while tubing on a river. I have also had occasion to use it on one of my kids.
The trick I would recommend was telling them I would pull on the count of 3, then yanking on 2. That way they didn't tense up before I yanked. It's hard to surprise the victim if you are pulling it out of yourself though.
