Mumford's trick is to yank a pillar from under a platform with somebody on it and as usuall, Grover wants to help. so all goes as follows. than Harry appears and Grover wants to try the trick on him. but for some reason it didn't work and after yanking the pillar from under the platform Harry falls. them Grover runs away and Harry chases after him.

That was one of my most memorable skits. I could tell that the platform looked animated when Grover was sitting on it. And when Mumford left, the platform then looked real, so it would fall when Herry got on it.

Yeah, in that moment, the platform and Grover were done in chromakey, or blue screen/green screen, matted, whatever it was called then. And during that time it was usually painfully obvious when something was matted on screen.
