Amusing Charlie illusion

[stratobuddy]

Just flicked over to Q and Charlie is demonstrating Liqui-Sew.

There is a tailor's dummy torso on the desk, and CB is standing behind it, at EXACTLY the position where it hides his body, and his head appears just above the neck of the dummy, so it seems to be alive with C's head talking.

I thought it was very funny, perhaps it's just my SOH.

I wonder if he was watching himself on the monitor and doing it on purpose?

I will check it out when I get home. I love gags like that. They sometimes did something similar on Mock the Week, and on Whose Line is it Anyway where the person behind does the arms and the person in front talks about stuff. And like the one - think it was Tony Hancock with a reflective shop window doing a leg movement that made it look like he had both legs off the ground.

I was going to put a screen shot up from the video, but unfortunately it is a different presenter. I'm hoping they will change it to C.

This gives you the idea, a photo of my TV screen.

For some reason, the pic is upside down, it was ok on my iPad.

Using the tv guide you can watch back the show. Maybe you can do a screen shot from that, if you can bear to watch the whole thing again?

Trying again



There were even better examples when his head exactly fitted the dummy's neck.

They've now changed the original video to Charlie's

That was Harry Worth.

That was Harry Worth.

Always remember his intro "My name is Harry Worth, I don't know why but there it is"
