Fans of Mary Poppins Returns know the film is practically perfect in every way, especially because of all the amazing special effects that went into bringing the magical movie to life. One of the enchanting scenes that helped make the beloved sequel an instant classic is when the titular Mary Poppins, played by Emily Blunt, completely disappears into a bubble bath.

Cool, right? Many fans assumed the trick was pulled off through CGI, however, a new behind-the-scenes clip shows how the cast and crew actually created the effect of Mary Poppins disappearing into the tub. Turns out, it was all practical effects and it's blowing everyone's mind.
Twitter account CafeFantasia posted the short clip showing Blunt falling back into the top, which is actually bottomless. Blunt falls down a slide built beneath the tub. "You know that bathtub shot in #MaryPoppinsReturns you assumed was CGI?" the account wrote.
