Just before Halloween, a fake Aladdin made his way through Manhattan on what looked like a magic carpet.

Crafted by the ever clever, Casey Neistat, the 'magic carpet' is in fact nothing more than a remote controlled item that we're all very familiar with.

Curious? I suggest you watch the video first, then find out how the carpet worked.Additionally, Neistat documented the whole thing using a drone.

Check out the cool video of a real life Aladdin riding his magic carpet on the streets of New York.
