Next story: Jasmin and James show the helping hand behind their mirror dance

How much of that ballet pose is actually the dancer? Jasmin and James make the question part of the joke, showing the finished effect in a small inset while the practical trick fills the screen.

A green-suited helper kneels in front of a dancer wearing a red-and-black dress, holding up fake pointe shoes to create the appearance of balancing on tiptoe. She fans herself and changes her arm positions while he handles the footwork.

The apparent airborne split needs a bigger team. Assistants use boards to push fake legs out from beneath the dress, turning a leap into a carefully coordinated prop manoeuvre. There is no spoken explanation: the two views let the mechanics speak for themselves.

The Short has reached about 1.5 million views in twenty hours, already well beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for this format. Two other Shorts posted on the same day have also passed a million views apiece.

Even with the backstage view on display, the arrangement takes some untangling. One commenter asks whose hands are involved; another is still trying to work out where the dancer's real legs have gone.
