Must be seen to be believed

May be the most impressive mime performance ever... I have no idea how this was done.

Watch on YouTube

As others have pointed out, if you watch, you can see just how it's done. The hand holding the staff is fake, up until the switch where it's turned away from you. The blacklight effect and no head is a mask under a mask. It's all done with misdirection and choreography.

But why analyze it like that? It's beautiful!

Yeah, that's kind of how I felt too... I was too busy enjoying it to analyze it too closely.
