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.
Hmm.. If it weren't for those sticks controlling their hands, I might have been convinced too lol.
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.
