Two performers create a miniature stage character in this old-fashioned party illusion. The refreshed title describes the effect rather than using a person’s stature as a joke.
This is a refreshed adaptation from the All Eyes on Me retro party-game collection.
At a glance
Players: Two performers and an audience.
You will need: A stable table and a cloth.
Cost: Free instructions; use items you already have. Optional props or prizes may cost extra.
How to play
- Drape a stable table with a cloth so the audience cannot see behind it.
- One seated performer places their head above the back edge of the table and puts clean socks or tiny shoes on their hands.
- A second performer crouches comfortably behind them and extends their own arms as the character’s arms.
- Together, perform a short routine: wave, ‘walk’ the sock feet across the tabletop, and pretend to cast a silly spell.
- Reveal the teamwork and let other willing pairs try.
Host’s tip
Keep performers on the floor, leave breathing space and use a short routine so the position stays comfortable.
Agree on the rules before you start. Guests can join, adapt a movement or pass; use points or optional playful challenges wherever the retro rules mention forfeits.
Originally listed as “The Dwarf Witch”; renamed for this refreshed collection.
