It’s the craft.

Multiple actors who have played against Sesame Street characters like Elmo have said that they forget there is a human hidden under the puppet - they’re that good.

One probably tunes it out after a while. And professional actors are probably much better than average at convincing their brains that a fictional situation is real.
