    Taking the Mickey

    Posted by LesleyDavis 3 September 2007

    Do not get conned! The street vendor sells cardboard cut-outs of Mickey and Minnie Mouse that dance magically on the pavement.

    Tourists buy them for five euros to take home to their children or grandchildren and find out later that they've been conned.

    The figures are actually suspended on clear fishing line and are attached to the vendor's backpack on one side and to some other object on the other side.

    There's a motor inside the backpack that jiggles the figures around so that they seem to dance.
