Reminds me....hired a magiciain for my son's 10th Birthday part. The 10 year olds annihiliated the guy. They figured out every "illusion".
Paid the guy anyways....just cuz the boys had so much fun nailing him.

In America we reversed the formula with Obama and put a low tech robot in a suit - his programming involved mostly grinding racial axes that weren’t even his.

Sometimes it's the reverse. A robot in a human suit.

The Turk, also known as the Mechanical Turk or Automaton Chess Player (German: Schachtürke, "chess Turk"; Hungarian: A Török), was a fake chess-playing machine constructed in the late 18th century....
...The Turk was in fact a mechanical illusion that allowed a human chess master hiding inside to operate the machine....

People couldn’t figure out how the guy got in and out of the Robot Gort Costume (The Day the Earth Stood Still) because there was no obvious way to do it.
Gort’s Costume was made to look like it was solid metal, much like the Spaceship with no visible access point.
When the Director was asked about it he simply said that there were two Costumes, one with access in the front and the other with access in the back.
The original Gort is the coolest Movie Robot IMHO.
