Mistoffeles, I think I've seen a more recent version of that, using very small cameras and mirrors put at certain angles. In effect, the bloke wearing the suit wasn't invisible, but camoflauged to an amazing degree. The only way to see him was when he moved the image distorted slightly, but when he stopped he simply dissappeared.
So, if they start now, how many years before we all laugh at the klingon for being technotards?
