Line 107:
* In ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events|The Carniverous Carnival]]'', Violet and Klaus use this to pose as a two-headed person.
* [[Terry Pratchett]]'s ''[[Discworld]]'':
** Done by a whole bunch of six inch-high Nac Mac Feegle in ''[[Discworld/A Hat Full of Sky|A Hat Full of Sky]]''. Said Feegles uses the same trick in ''[[Discworld/Wintersmith|Wintersmith]]''. It helps that, although everyone notices how weird they look, whenever someone tells them to get lost they just start [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|waving around scads of money.]]
** In ''[[Discworld/Moving Pictures|Moving Pictures]]'', the ticket lady at the movie theater suspects one of the wizards of being this, when she spots his (fake!) false beard.
* Slytherin students use this to impersonate dementors in ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban|Harry Potter]]''. Knowing why the culprits are doing this (Harry is afraid of dementors), the teachers are ''not'' amused—especially not McGonagall.
* A similar trick was used unsuccessfully in ''[[Welkin Weasels]]: Thunder Oak'', involving nine ferrets in a human-sized suit of armor.
