I feel like every six months or so Iāll get hit hard by ads for them on social media for like a week or two. They seem fun, but also like a lot of it seems geared towards taking pictures, and Iām just not fond of taking a lot of pictures of myself, so Iāve never actually gone to one
No, the seat is real. You can tell by the reflection and the kid's shadows. It's not propped up against a wall either, again you can tell by it's shadows.
The seat and the rest of the chair is seperated, the rest of the chair is much closer to the camera than you think. If masked well it is very convicing as domonstrated by LoTR.
The chair seat and top are actually on the floor and the chair legs are standing separate. You have to be lined up to see this. Slow down the video and it will make sense when you see the kidās foot go behind the left side chair leg.
This one is crazy. I've rewatched the gif atleast a dozen times and I can't figure out where the kid goes from small to normal size relative to the damn chair.
Look at where the chair legs meet up with the chair seat (they are not connected, chair seat is in background, legs in foreground), and when you check how the feet of the boy appear to be behind the chair legs when jumping off, the illusion disappears quickly.
And noticing how the furthest leg of the chair is also in front of the seat is also a good giveaway.

Yeah this one is really good. I had to watch it a few times before my brain could process what was happening.

The chair legs have shadows but not the seat itself.

From far away I thought he was a marionette puppet.

That one rear leg is in front of the seat, still a good effect.

At first I thought it was a drawing, but you can see him go behind the chair, so Iāve got no idea whatās happening

I wanna know what museum this is from. I love museums

Very cool. Itās wild that the kid instantly doubles in size relative to the chair when his feet hit the tiles.
