I spotted the bear only because I've seen a similar video before.

I too had seen a similar video before, and Derren Brown did a similar effect in one of his stageshows, but the effect itself is amazing and you'd never believe you could miss it if you hadn't seen the video yourself.

Indeed. The first time I saw a video of this nature, I missed the man in the gorilla suit.
