The 'Pumpkin Head' lens illusion
RISING · momentum 77 · since 2026-10-04
You hold a real pumpkin right up to the lens so it covers the head of whoever stands behind you, and the pumpkin becomes their head while their body moves freely. It's one prop and zero editing, so the wilder the body moves while the pumpkin stays locked, the funnier it gets.
Editor's note
Hold your product or storefront up in the 'face' spot like the pumpkin, and let someone behind it dance or ham it up. There's no editing, so the shape of whatever you hold is the whole bit, which works best when people recognize it the second it's up. One shaky hand kills the illusion, so keep the hand on the pumpkin as steady as a tripod.
How to do it
- Send the person behind a few steps back, hold the pumpkin by the stem close to the lens, and line it up exactly over their head
- Keep the pumpkin dead still while they dance, throw their arms out, and move however they want
- Swap in [PRODUCT] for the pumpkin, or hand it to the person behind, so the product shows up inside the illusion
