Justin Flom cuts into a tiny green couch, then puts a pink pool noodle to work as a pair of fake legs. The materials are ordinary; the goal is to make a baby appear to sit in two separate pieces.

It is a staged optical illusion, with the construction shown along the way. Flom dresses the artificial legs in tights, sneakers and a red tutu, then works with another adult to position the baby through an opening in the couch. The hidden lower body and the visible dummy legs do the trick.

Flom names his inspiration during the build: the waiting-room scene in Beetlejuice, with its memorably divided occupant. Here, that macabre movie image becomes a miniature furniture project, complete with its own reveal.

The Short drew roughly 740,000 views in ten hours, a much faster start than his usual short-form upload. That makes this a different moment from the subscriber jump we reported here: the new attraction is a specific homemade trick.

It also returns to an old Flom theme. His regular-video archive includes "Sawing a Baby in Half!", posted in 2017. This version trades the traditional magician's apparatus for upholstery and a pool noodle.
