In was at a haunted house last year and aw an amazing prop that appeared to be a half man almost on a small pedestal and it allowed him to talk to people just 5 feet away. Does anyone know what that prop is called or how to create the illusion?

Model I built.

I've seen it commercially before as "Witch Doctor's revenge".
