Elvis May Be Dead But He’s Still Prettier Than Celine
I remember the scene in Forest Gump where Forest meets the President of the USA. He shakes hands, moves around the room and has his picture taken. It was probably one of the most technically difficult shots in the film. American Idol have done that, live, in 3D, in front of an audience, BETTER. I looked at this film twice and I’m still very impressed. It’s a tech masterpiece.
Now that’s entertainment.

I think it’s a technique that the Gorillaz used for their stage show called Pepper’s Ghost. Read the Wikipedia entry for the full technical scoop: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pepper%27s_ghost&oldid=127022883
Hint: no magic, clones or robots were used.
