It’s been a few weeks since the trend of content creators making the switch from Twitch to YouTube has gained momentum, with Ibai Llanos being one of the most notable figures to make this move. The Spanish streamer has been consistently uploading content to his YouTube channel since January, showcasing a wide range of videos and formats that are unique and independent from one another. Recently, Ibai shared a new video where he posed as a wax statue at the Barcelona Wax Museum, and the reactions from the public are absolutely priceless.
The video, titled “I’m pretending to be a wax figure,” has already garnered over 300,000 views in just two hours, and its twelve minutes of footage are guaranteed to leave you smiling. After introducing the concept of the video, which is pretty self-explanatory, people start to approach Ibai, who is seated in a chair. A mother and her daughter are the first to come close, and they both genuinely believe Ibai is a wax doll until he suddenly moves in the middle of a photo, causing a shocked reaction from the pair. The daughter exclaims, “This can’t be, oh my god, I’m dying!” as she takes a step back, clearly startled.
The surprises continue, with a group of ladies getting a fright when they approach Ibai to examine the “wax figure” up close. One of them lets out a loud shriek and jumps back, prompting Ibai to jokingly comment, “I almost gave that lady a heart attack!” One of the most entertaining reactions comes from an Argentine boy who is visiting the museum with a friend. As they approach Ibai to take a photo, they are both stunned to discover that it’s actually him, not a wax statue.
As the video progresses, it becomes clear that Ibai’s disguise is incredibly convincing, with many people failing to realize that he’s a real person. The streamer notes that, at first, his disguise “fools a lot of people,” and there are several instances where individuals take photos with him without realizing he’s alive. In one amusing instance, a mother and daughter spend eight minutes discussing whether Ibai is a real person or not, completely unaware that he’s listening in on their conversation.
Towards the end of the video, Ibai changes his position and stands up next to the wax statues of Barcelona football players, where he manages to fool fewer people. The content creator admits to having an absolute blast pulling off this prank with a hidden camera, as he notes that he could see the genuine surprise on people’s faces when they realized he was real. The video is a lighthearted and entertaining watch, showcasing Ibai’s playful personality and ability to connect with his audience in unique and creative ways.
