Not content with typical card tricks or a rabbit in a hat, magician Rich Ferguson puts a spooky Halloween spin on his act by literally losing his head in front of freaked-out spectators. How in the world does he do it?

As Ferguson approaches people on the street in San Luis Obispo, CA, he sneezes and his head appears to fall into his arms. Most onlookers are initially horrified, but quickly realize it's an illusion. One group of kids doesn't seem to know any better, though, and hilariously runs off screaming.

If anyone knows the secret to this trick, please clue us in. We sure would like to use it this Halloween while passing out candy.
