is this for real?? i feel like it's a really nice special effect.

and i can't stop cracking up.

The first version had two hands which covered and uncovered your eyes.

It's a special effect. If you look at his website (http://www.jonathanpost.com/) you'll see they do green screen in the 2nd photo there, which indicates they do special effects.

But even more so, the muscles responsible for blinking your eyes cannot move at 60hz.

Great thing! I can already see the infomercials for this:

"I wear prescription glasses. Now I can watch 3D movies without piling on glasses and looking like a freak!"

"Now I can watch 3D while diving!"

"My kids just love it, and I love it too! No handles to break off, no glass to scratch... We used to go through at least four pairs of glasses a year in my family; Winkeroo is going to last a lifetime!"

".....looking like a freak!"

wow! as if you don't look like a freak when your eyes blink like a dragonfly wings!!

He doesn't really seem to act like he notices the constant blinking (winking?). I wonder if it is actually an issue.

I would prefer to wear glasses rather than blink at that rate.

I once had this thing called Bells Palsy for 3 weeks where a nerve in your face gets blocked and the whole side of your face sags. Felt like I had it again in both sides of my face after watching this guy. I think he's serious.
