You just take a shot of what’s behind your screen and make it your desktop background. And yes, I’ve tried it, and yes, it’s more difficult than it looks to get it just right, especially if you don’t have a laptop. It’s all about the fold-down screen. Post your own pictures under comments and I’ll include them… More pictures Inside!

the one with the hand is hard to get right, but easy to set up. to see how to do it and where the hand stops and the picture starts, look at the very far right of the dudes hand. the shading is different when it comes to the desk. he took a pic of that part of his hand behind the desk, then set as background. the only real part of his hand is the thumb, palm and possibly one finger. i’m still not sure on that part. this is how it was done as far as i can see. its funny how the simmple explantations are the longest to read. sorry about that, but i hope this helped w/ the hand prob.
i bet they jus tuk a pic of the exact plce, then they put it as there desktop pic! example. tke the second “illusion” the wood on the computer is darker then the real life wood, also the lines of it arent level! trust me, its not a trick.
my ones..

Awesom tric done using photoshop
wow amazing ..:/)
It’s chroma key, you know the green screen technique used in movies and stuff, just set the desktop background in an specific color not present in the rest of the components of the scene and take the picture, 2 pics are needed one shooting the laptop screen with the blue, green, pink… desktop and the other shooting the background also both must be taken from exactly the same spot, angle, direction and with the same lighting, then during the edition just set the color you choose as transparent and put the other pic in the background layer.
Now quit talking about how tricky it is, it’s kid’s stuff.
It’s obviously NOT chroma key, you idiot! That would be cheating ! (in this context).
YOU HAVE TO SET THE PICTURE YOU TAKE (of the background) AS YOUR computer’s DESKTOP BACKGROUND, then take another photo of the whole thing (including the computer screen). THAT’s why the tint isn’t exactly the same on most of the screens vs the background AND you can also see small areas where the continuity doesn’t match up 100% . Idiot!
Having said that, all you other idiots gawking at these going “woooow, that’s soooo amazing” need to educate yourselves a bit more into what actually IS amazing. Sure, these are quite neat, and it takes a lot of tweaking to get perfect (unless you’re chroma key cheating) but they’re not THAT amazing.
HOWEVER, the REALLY cool thing to try is to do this to someone’s screen IN REAL LIFE, unbeknown to them, to watch them try to put their hand through their screen. Now THAT’S amazing ! (and there you HAVE to do the real thing, obviously greenscreen won’t do shit).
All the more difficult, since you have to control their angle of approach (unless their background is very plain.
what an idea!!! very unique!!!
Anyone notice that it’s all MAC people who did this? Just sayin’…
Cool.
Good but it is a trick
i get the hand one its easy… all he did was take a picture of his pointer finger, middle finger, ring finger, and his pinky. then he put his thumb on the computer while bending his other fingers down.. its very hard 2 explain
The hand one is simple. He just put his whole hand in the background, and only his sweater in the picture is real. Picture on screen starts at the end of his sweater. Duh.
that was totally amazing..
Why is there always one of these people in the bunch?
I can’t believe someone would really use the handle – F… You and then say we (all of us who are not educated in the field of illusion) are idiots.
That person (Male or Female) must really be a great person to associate with.
Maybe he/she is an illusion and I really didn’t read what he/she wrote because if I did there are names for him/her and I will not stoop that low.
Having said that this is a great site to check out your mind over matter abilities.
know its a trick but cant guess it

nothing more than the sweater is live……the hand is an photographic image……..the sweater is added on after making the hand’s picture as the desktop background

My own, if you want to make it: google it. Easiest is with a laptop and a camera on a stand
this is cool and i did it
it came out good but i still need to tweak it i even have Erica sitting behind it! LOL
these are fake, i can tell by the pixels
To all of you saying “these are fake” or “how did they do that?” are you f%#king retarded?
All you do is take a photo of what’s behind your screen and set it as your wallpaper.
Seriously I can’t believe how stupid some people are. Read the intro it even says what to do.
Cool ! i do no speac inglish … i am in russia
looking so cool! i love it!
