The Christmas viral video that shows passers-by interacting with a remote controlled piano is apparently fake, according to Reddit users. They say that the passers-by are played by actors.
YouTuber RobBlissCreative uploaded a video called "Chicago's Magical Piano" earlier this week and it got more than 200,000 views. It was supposedly sponsored by Amtrak and captured travelers in Chicago's Union Station playing with a remote controlled piano. They were dancing, and they were performing duets.
But after it was shared on Reddit, user
schwagro claimed in the
comments that the video was fake. Schwagro posted a link to a notice about an Amtrak casting call for a video in Chicago's Union Station with a "magical piano around Christmastime that seems to be truly alive."
The casting call notice was taken down shortly after Schwargo posted it, but
jl45 posted an Imgr link to a
picture of the notice.
Either way, it's a video worth your time. Check it out:
