You're supposed to assume it's a real trick

It's not actually. He does such things in public as well. Check his other videos out.

lol @ slash!

That's one way to annoy a smoker, if you did all that with their cigarette.

Good stuff; the bit with the drinks bottle was really well done.

That guy is awesome. The sneezing head thing he does like Cyril is just amazing. How do they do that? I mean both of them don't look like they have another person hidden under their coat.

I'm not sure. If I think about it logically, i'd say a combination of stilts, and something that poses as shoulders: Old guy stands on 20-30'cms stilts. When he sneezes he makes the stilts 'collapse' (all hidden inside the pants obviously), so the head drops 20-30 cm's obviously. He has the fake shoulders, which might come 'up when the stilts go in (collapse), so the stitls push the fake shoulders up, so it isnt noticable... especially cause he sneezes, cause that hides both any sounds such a thing would make, as well as any curious movement with the device behind his back (everyone is focussing on the sneeze...)

Anyway, that would be MY explanation... but obviously I could be dead-wrong. Just seems like the most logical sollution. We would know for sure if we knew the real guy's height (so without the old man disguise).
