Spoiler alert:

It's a midget on stilts.

[–]GD0512 126 points127 points ago

Now the alliance will never let you back.

[–]misterfanwank 40 points41 points ago

PinballWizrd made a huge mistake.

[–]TheSeashellOfBuddha 25 points26 points ago

Well, he is a dumb, deaf and blind kid.

[–]Klathmon 19 points20 points ago

but he sure plays a mean pinball...

[–]reelmusik 9 points10 points ago

Yeah, he just kinda stands there like a statue.

[–]soyabstemio 8 points9 points ago

It's almost like he becomes part of the machine.

[–]archeantus1988 7 points8 points ago

Feeling all the bumpers...

[–]reelmusik 0 points1 point ago

always playing clean.

[–]archeantus1988 0 points1 point ago

he plays by intuition...

[–]mabmo 2 points3 points ago

And balls

[–]mebematthew0 0 points1 point ago

Is he deaf, dumb, and blind, though?

[–]RemoteBoner 0 points1 point ago

Go to the mirror boy, or we'll send you to Uncle Ernie's.

Spoiler alert: It's just a floating head.

[–]mkyweriga 13 points14 points ago

Oh, I thought he had his coat rigged to stay stiff and he bent over really fast while keeping his hands still and then fell flat on his face. About halfway through it looks like you can see his butt sticking out, but the camera does a good job keeping the "correct" perspective for the trick.

[–]Krynox 1 point2 points ago

Thanks.

[–]ChloeTheCat753 -3 points-2 points ago

Not very relevant but I love your user name! Is it from the who, Tommy album?

[–]PinballWizrd 1 point2 points ago

None other.

[–]karl-marks 99 points100 points ago

To all the smug assholes who are like "psh, whatever man, I know how this works".

I don't give a fuck that I know how this works.

My eyes just saw a person FALL THE FUCK APART. Fucking A man. Fucking A.

[–]qwickset2 26 points27 points ago

I spent 4 months, off-and-on, brainstorming and designing a version of Cyril's illusion and a month building and tweaking it. I say "a version" because I have no way of knowing exactly how he designed it, I just set out to design something that would accomplish the same effect.

The 2 primary self-imposed requirements were 1) I had to be able to walk around in it and 2) it had to look as much as possible like Cyril's illusion when performed. I definitely accomplished the first, but I believe I may have accomplished both.

I humbly present to you my 2011 office party Halloween Costume entry.

WARNING: Vertical video. There were no coat hangers harmed in the creation of this costume.

EDIT: grammar

[–]phong3d 2 points3 points ago

That's fantastic! Absolutely great work - this needs upvotes.

[–]Dazanan 94 points95 points ago

Fucking A man

Commas man.... commas...

[–]Hobbanero 33 points34 points ago

Commas, man!

[–]Dazanan 10 points11 points ago

I was actually attempting to summon the little known superhero "Commas Man" for Karl... Unfortunately he likes to take brief pauses every few seconds so I doubt he'll be here in time to save Karl from an embarrassing comment.

[–]DCSlick 3 points4 points ago

Let our powers combine: Ellipses (...)!!!

If I had a million dollars I would use two commas at the same time.

[–]mrmyxlplyx 1 point2 points ago

If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you a house.

[–]deathismybitchlover 2 points3 points ago

But not a real house. That's cruel.

[–]chili_cheese_dog 1 point2 points ago

I think he meant a Gregory House.

[–]jonnykthedj 1 point2 points ago

I'd buy you a green dress!

[–]inkaudio 2 points3 points ago

I love the Japanese guy in the second video shouting "Cyril! Cyril!"

[–]feureau 0 points1 point ago

I like the first one. Another version would be after getting a random girl to kiss you, your head falls off and your body deflates like the one in OP's gif

[–]Creative91 8 points9 points ago

[–]a_derp_in_thailand 1 point2 points ago

From the Japanese television show "Kasou Taishou"...but the letters in the beginning is Thai, so this is a Thai dubbed version from Thailand's Channel 9

Eh. I know it's generally looked down upon when one can't remember why an RES tag has been attached to someone. I don't know if I was drunk or delirious from lack of sleep...but, you are RES tagged as "dickpooper." Help?

[–]Afraid_of_Downvotes 1 point2 points ago

Haha, didn't mean to make you dig! Thank you, it's actually a lot less strange than what I thought it was going to be!
