Stop Trick	comment	A camera trick used a great deal before more sophisticated special effects were contrived. They stop the camera, change or add something to the shot, and start it again with everything else in the same positions. It's entirely possible this was the very first special effect, used in films made in the first years of cinema, like J. Stuart Blackton's Enchanted Drawing, in which a vaudeville artist draws a glass of wine and then magically pulls a real glass full of real wine off the page. Also known as "locking off." Compare to Match Cut and Gilligan Cut. A Stop Trick done badly could result in a Jump Cut. Examples

In actuality, Kokichi stopped the press and the camera at the same time just as Kaito's body was obscured by the press. The two switched places, and Kaito started both the press and camera again, crushing Kokichi.

In fact, it's still being used in Super Sentai (and various other tokusatsu) today. As shown in unused scenes from some Kamen Rider shows, this is how they handle transformations: a shot is taken with the actor, then one with the costumed stuntman in the same position, and finally the two shots are combined as a simultaneous fade-out/fade-in with a CGI Transformation Sequence covering up the transition.

Stop Trick / int_4c99197e	comment	This is the miracle that allows Muppets to pick up objects when their hands are clearly incapable of it. "Secrets of the Muppets", an episode of The Jim Henson Hour, explained this technique at length (described as a "tape edit" effect). Gonzo denies that his hands are no more than useless pieces of fabric, and demonstrates by repeatedly picking up a telephone. Every time it rings, he places his hand on the receiver, the shot cuts to another angle, and he lifts the phone which is now attached to his hand. Once he realizes the audience has caught on, Gonzo flees the scene...with the phone still attached, so he gets yanked back. Kermit arrives and reminds him that you should never leave a room when your hand is still glued to the telephone. When Bunsen and Beaker built a teleporter in the Peter Sellers episode of the Muppet Show, this trick is how it worked.

The exploding pesticide can in "Planet of the Giants" is executed this way. The Gel-Guards in "The Three Doctors" used this trick. Several regenerations in the Classic series use this too, again with a fade. Notable is the First into Second, which was done on a broken vision mixing desk which oversaturated the image with light, creating a glowing effect. The Third into Fourth uses a simple dissolve. The Fourth into Fifth stops the footage three times and dissolves between them to show the Doctor growing a "cocoon" that then fades away revealing the new Doctor. The Raston Warrior Robot in "The Five Doctors" used this effect for its Flash Step attacks.
