The “Invisible” Man: A Super Cool Invisibility Trick Performed Using an Action Cam

To perform this trick, special effects artist Zach King used one of Sony’s awesome new 4K Action Cam (FDR-X1000VR) strapped to his back and pointing backward to create the illusion of partial invisibility by transferring the live footage on a screen strapped to his chest. The effect is quite convincing, don’t you think?

King and his team were inspired by live projection videos and used background images on a foreground surface. A chest-sized monitor was constructed by cutting a hard plastic photo frame into a TV Bezel. The Action Cam by Sony was mounted onto the Chest Harness, which King wore backwards. The see-through trick was then created in VFX in Zach’s unique ‘digital sleight of hand’ Zach King is a self-made star with over 3 million followers on Vine and 300,000+ followers on Youtube.
