I was learning in a sefer which discusses a case where they couldn't do hagbah, and the Mechaber suggested to do the hagbah like the Teimanim which is to leave it on table in some way, but I didn't fully grasp how it's done. Is there a picture of their technique or a description how it's done?

the teimonim leave the torah case on the table and lift the parchment up– MoriDowidhYa3aqovCommented Jul 15, 2014 at 2:21

How can that be done with an ashkinazi Torah,that's exactly how he explained ot but I am having trouble conceptualizing it– samCommented Jul 15, 2014 at 2:23

an ashkanazi torah is the same laying down as a teimoni/safaradi torah in a case. it is roled onto the sticks in the end. therefore when it is laying down you would just lift the parchment up in the middle– MoriDowidhYa3aqovCommented Jul 15, 2014 at 2:26

Screen cap from the link that MoriDoweedhYaa3qob posted:
Using some cloth (Talith or similar) the parchment is lifted to about head-height. To do this, one would have to unroll the Sefer Torah while lifting it.
Probably best to grab it at the seam (which you can find every 3 to 4 columns).
After the Hagba is over, one would have to roll back the slack while slowly lowering it.
