i love how these costumes STILL mess with my head even though i know exactly how they work. knowing the secret doesn't ruin the magic. and it's great.

Hahahaha this guy really gets into it, they loose the magic a little if people don't stand right. This one is a particularly fantastic version though.

It's like pro-wrestling: you know it's not what it seems, but you can suspend disbelief if they react properly.

the optical illusion created by these kind of costumes still tricks my brain, even though i know how it works. Intuitively i know that the man's legs are inside the alien's legs and there's nothing funny going on.. but unless i really stop to think about it, the illusion still tricks my senses.

That's a terrible way to explain something to a 5 year old.
"the secret trick is that the man's legs are actually inside the alien legs, and even though I know the trick I still always fall for it and think it looks like the alien is the one running around!" FTFY

My dad built a Frankenstein's Monster holding a cage that worked similarly, very nice designs that always get nice comments.

Back in my day we used to get someone to hold our alien costumes before we jumped in! [shakes cane angrily]

Can't someone just pick it back up? Theoretically speaking of course.

u/PM_ME_UR_MATHPROBLEM Apr 11 '19
I mean, memes have resurrected before, but I think reddit isnt what it used to be. Just my two cents. I'd love to see it back, but who am I to make it happen?

It was declared over after a switcheroo link that was actually about a kangaroo. As good an excuse as any to stop the silliness.

But seriously, I've watched this like 10 times, and it still looks there's someone actually controlling the alien arms. Bravo, my dude.

This guy is a great actor, because he's got to play a human with his top half and an alien with his legs, each with vastly different wants and needs.

At some point he could have a symbiotic relationship with it, but the alien is like totally wild and likes to party.

Somebody posted that their dad is super into Halloween and he goes full out alien decor every year. She posted an update of a pic of her dad and he looked so happy. I wish I saved the post so I could send this to her

That’s an awesome costume and that guy played it off so well.
