What do you get if you cross magic, Christmas, YouTube and augmented reality? Well, this cute video is a start...

AR specialist company Metaio has joined forces with German magician Simon Pierro to create an augmented reality magic show that was shot in one take. It features "an extraordinary mixture of classical magical skills and real-time visualization technology". Basically, that means some rendered reindeer (does that mean they're reindeered?) and a lot of ball tomfoolery.

It's a jolly slice of fun for the holiday season, so sit back, enjoy, and welcome to the Bunco Booth...
